I don't like obama, but i'm not going to say the other presidents did any damage, but really, why the forget do you spend a trillion dollars when you are already 12.6 trillion in debt? He also rushed it through too fast, and didn't keep his promise about "no closed doors/smoke filled rooms".
It's like a person buying a car, but you buy it, and the gas is costing too much money, which puts you in (credit card or something) debt. instead of using the car less, the government buys a hybrid and saying the money that it saves on gas will auto-pay the debt off.
on another note; i don't really read much news because both sides say the other is wrong :C
