The Right didn't seem too upset. Or if they were, you'd have me believe that it was the first time in history that the Right was upset about something and DIDN'T open their mouths?
Please. That's like saying you'd expect me to not complain about something that bothered me for eight years...and that you'd then take my word that it had been deeply troubling me the whole time even though I said absolutely nothing. The Right is more hysterical in reality as they claim the Left is. Just a gut feeling that if they were really upset about it, we'd have heard about it...since we hear about everything else that bothers them even a little bit.

It is just viewing of the world through different lenses. The left is far more activist driven than the right. That is not really a debatable point. And lets remember that the last 8 years were not operated under an economic meltdown like the last year. People may find it annoying but as long as the economy is humming along it is really easy to overlook issues. Why Obama's spending spree has to be viewed in the context of Bush's spending seems unusual since they are two different animals under two entirely different circumstances.
