The 111th Congress Added More Debt Than the First 100 Congresses Combined: $10,429 Per Person in U.S.
It was historic.
Barack Obama tripled the national deficit in one year. When Speaker Pelosi took over Congress the national deficit was $162 billion. When she exits in 2011 as Speaker it will be at $1.29 Trillion dollars.
Obama topped a trillion dollars his second year, too.
(The Captain’s Comments)
Spending was up 84% under Obama.
That’s not all…
Barack Obama is the worst jobs president since the Great Depression and possibly the worst jobs president in US history.
But, he gave a nice speech last week and did not blame Republicans for the mass murder by an anti-Christian, anti-Constitution, left-wing, pro-Marx, antiflag, “quite liberal” lunatic killer who hated Bush.
Newt Gingrich told today that Obama deserved his 54% approval rating.
The Politico reported:
“I thought that his speech in Tucson was very effective. It’s what a president should do in a moment like that,” he said.
“I thought it was exactly the right tone for him,” Gingrich added. “The audience wasn’t always the right tone, but the president was and I think that that certainly helped him.”
Gingrich said he thinks Obama “deserves the approval you just showed in your poll,” referring to the Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday morning that had the president’s approval rating at 54 percent and 78 percent of Americans approving of how he handled the shooting.
“I join the 71 percent of Republicans who approved of it,” he said.
On the same show this morning, Gingrich said, “Palin needs to slow down and think through what’s she’s saying.
