The past 2 years, the US has added 2.42 times more debt than it has added GDP.
Yes, but I'll point out that's a different metric than what I mentioned. The debt has increased, as we are still paying for old things, with interest. We could stop spending today and the debt will continue to rise.

I do believe our GDP to debt ratio right now is not as fearsome as some think, less than Reagans I believe (have to look it up, don't hold me to it)

But Obama's policies and programs have not added massively to the debt. He's cut federal spending a bit. He's cut our deficit a bit. The "big spender" thing just isn't true. He's expanded Medicare to last another 8 years. The GDP has gone up a bit. All with just the initial, very half,hearted stimulus, and about zero further action by Congress or the Fed.

Riot there is no way you can spin that Obama has cut the deficit and reduced spending. He has outspent, added more to the deficit, and has played more golf than any President in the history of this country.

You are trying to give him credit for raising GDP???? This the worst recovery in 65 years. By the way, historically the worse the recession the stronger the recovery, that is until Obamanomics.

Sigh. You lie.

You lie.

You lie. See above.

You even lie about this:

At this point in their presidencies:
George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch
Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch.
President Obama has taken 61 vacation days

You're a proven liar, and a blathering, hating idiot, with zero veracity. You are a very good joke, however

Oh,yeah - no, Obama doesn't suck. Suck on that, Lil' Sockpuppet
