When did The Obama speak of "fiscal discipline" and "pay-go??"

Since he was elected...

AFTER $3 Trillion was spent.

When did The Obama speak of "Earmark reform??"

Since he was elected...

AFTER $400 Billion was spent on the Omnibus pork spending bill.

I'm not surprised, I'm just sayin'!!

I am just disgusted with all the cryin liberals that was demonizing Bush for spending money on the war, when obama has spent over 1/3rd of the TOTAL Bush pent in less than 50 days.
Come on Libs where ya at....how come wastefull spending is ok now...

I'm a Republican but I'm ashamed at how my party handled many, many things during the last eight years they held power. We had a chance to make a difference, and boy did we! We deserved to lose...any party could have won against us this time around.

Okay now. The Dems are in power, and we have a new president. While I don't care for the radical leaders in their party (I didn't like ours either), I'm hoping that this new president will keep them at bay, so he can get the work done that my party should have been doing.

We need action, and somebody needs to make the tough decisions. This economic situation we are in is uncharted territory, and no one really knows what should be done...it's all speculations. I've been listening to the president and what he thinks should be done and how we should go about them, and I think many of his ideas have merit, because as a Republican they are to my way of thinking too.

I hope the president is successful, even if I didn't vote for him.

HAHAHA are you serious he IS one of them, he is in the top 3 of the farthest left of all washington. People ignored this and saw what they wanted to in him and now the truth is coming out.

I am ashamed of the right as well but i wont turn a blind eye and "WISH" for a man who not only cant perform up to my dreams, but in reality dosent exist.
