I am not an economist or anything but I know Bush is the reason for our extremely high deficit. The Republicans do not want to talk about this so they can blame Obama. the Republicans have become dirty and stupid.

I have followed Presidential history for 50 years. In my lifetime there wasn't a President of lower intelligence than Bush.

It would be so nice to get some honest information from our news people. Because lies are now being touted as the truth, I have been double checking everything I read and hear and this article by Mark Knoller proves that I have not been wasting my time. Manipulating information to reach a particular conclusion is dishonest no matter who is doing it. Will we see a retraction or a clarification? I won't hold my breath. http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/article/655009/media_malpractice%3A_cbs_pins_bush_debt_on_obama/#paragraph3

Ok, we all know Baby Bush was not the best President by any means.
We know he left us with a hefty debt, But why are we rehashing this.When I first read this column I thought somebody had mad a mistake and put in "old" news. Let's get on with and live now and
look forward to the future and quit living in the past and blaming
past presidents. He's now doing what he's good at, socializing at
the ballgames.

CBS must be scraping the bottom of the barrel. This is OLD NEWS, NO LONGER FACTUAL, and shows they are no longer interested in presenting stories constructed with true journalism, but becoming a left leaning version of the Esquire or the World News.
Very Sad Day.

who care what bush did...what obama does is what counts and he is clueless. the only thing he knows is how to go from the oval office to the golf course. a leader steps up to the plate and calls his subordinates together and doesn't let them leave until a resolution is made...he can't find thetime to do this as he sees campaigning as more important...."I hope" he says...enough for his hope. "We all knew"...well if he knew why didn't he do something weeks ago....Why didn't Obama speak out on Friday after the S&P announcement...that's what a leader would have done. WHIMP

I am beyond disgusted with this Tea Party. This debt ceiling should have been a simple request as it is for every President. But the Republican­s added their own agenda's into it creating this huge problem. The debt ceiling should have simply been raised and THEN they should have gone to work on the debt reduction. They are so worried about those loop-holes but how much will the rich loose when the stock market crashes and their interest rates all increase?

Let's not forget that in addition to what was left by Bush, he also blew thru the surplus that was left to him by Clinton. That is not even in the count. Starting Medicare D with no way of paying for it was of no help and tax cuts during war time is totally dumb.

I would much rather see rich people (job creators) with a tax break for a corporate jet than see a fleet of Escalades and Navigators with 26 inch rims parked in front of the local welfare office.

You all know you are missing one person is all this comments.
The GOP Representive that Obama defected. John McCain.
What would our government and country be like if he had won?
Would he have done the same things that Obama did? Could he have?
And if he did not do the same how would that affected us?
