The Buck Flies On By

Has America ever had more of a spineless punk for president? One thing you expect out of a president, regardless of party or political outlook is responsibility for his actions and decisions. That is entirely lacking in President Present, who apparently doesn't remember which party he was in, which party was in the majority, and which party developed the budgets that President Bush signed into law which resulted in the deficits that Obama inherited. He pushed for those big budgets and big deficits when he was in Congress and he pushed for, and received the much bigger ones we have now. He is entirely responsible for that debt, and in addition the debt from reduced tax generation due to the recession, which in turn was caused almost entirely by the subprime loan crisis. While in Congress, he helped Democrats fight President Bush and Senator McCain when they attemped to rein in the subprime loan policy of Fannie Mae. This should be a surprise to no American. He certainly had/has good intentions for what he is doing. He should man up and say "yes, I am doing this, it needs to be done, and here's why..." rather than pointing at others, as he seems to do with every single issue that comes up and saying, "not me, he did". Contrast this with President Reagan, a real leader, who said "yes, we're going to raise the Prime Lending rate, this will contract the economy, and cause job losses, but it needs to be done to break inflation."
