Growing GDP would be considered a good thing.

That doesn't make any sense though. Growth of GDP isn't the same as national debt. Growing GDP would be considered a good thing.

In addition, both houses have to take a bow as well for allowing this mess to get out of control.
That's both houses and both parties. Remember Bush and Company doled out the first handouts (not bailouts) to the Wall Street White Collar Bandits. Come get some, one and all. Get your free money right here, no waiting. Bonuses? Sure why not go ahead. Plenty more where that come from!

There's plenty of blame to go around for the mess we're in, starting with 'I voted FOR waterboarding before I voted AGAINST it' Pelosi.

Truth is, HObamaman couldn't get all this money without Congress.

Correctomundo! He didn't start the fire.

He's just the face of what's going on currently, just as Bush Jr. was the last 8 years. We'd probably pity the both of them if we were omnipotent and saw just how little both of those men knew about the choices they've made and the actions they've taken.

He was supposed to be the face of change though. His campaign, like most, was nothing but blatant lies and empty promises.

I will say that his 'plan', so far, is the biggest loser...hey, maybe they can add that to the 'White House Television' lineup, heee!

Or the biggest winner. It all depends on what you view the intention of Government in he first place. Methinks there are a lot of people on high in their ivory towers who are very pleased with the way things have gone the first 100+ days of this presidency.

You think the recent plunge in value of the US Dollar was an unintended (or unimagined) side effect of Obama's medicine?
