The Madness of Barack Obama

President Obama is on the campaign trail warning voters about "returning to the very same policies that failed us during the last decade."

If he's talking about bailouts, ineffective stimulus packages, and massive government spending, then we won't be returning to them because we've never left.

This video is right on!! Why oh why does Obama keep blaming Bush?? It is amazing how people can say 'he can't fix things in just two years', especially when he has only two years left! Half of his presidency has gone by and there has been no prosecution of corrupt bank CEOs, no change in war strategy, and worst of all NO MENTION AT ALL OF THE CONTINUING FORECLOSURE CRISIS!!!

You should have also talked about his continuation of both failing wars, and state secrecy while violating our rights to the privacy and the free flow of information.

@goofball223 And the fact that Bush's Torture tactics got Barry Bin Laden's hideout.

@BlackWolf4830 Reagan did not "bailout" Chrysler. The government gave them a loan guarantee for $1 billion. It was repaid by Chrysler. Not a cent of taxpayer money was spent. The national debt increased because he had to compromise with the democrat congress for several years who were eager to find new ways to waste the new tax money generated from America's prosperity.

@shadowpoetrk Never will be? Good thing.

Here's hoping you all suck Ayn Rands rotting tits and die from her venom. : )

@HomoCyborgZombie There has never been a true libertarian president in the office. Show me ONCE, where by a plan of action, that a president cut his, and the governments powers. Where government got smaller. There has never has been. There probably never WILL be.

I am hoping for Obama/Bush 2012, what we lack is true Bipartisanship!

@freesk8 I'm saying, if only he WERE the same as the old boss. At this point, that's a rather optimistic view of the situation. Using one song lyric to answer another has a long tradition behind it in comedy.

You could replaced "Bush" with "Reagan" and actually it would still make a lot of sense. Reagan helped fuel the war on drugs, he bailed out chrysler, and raised the national debt, and yet many people see Reagan as the image of small government.
