Anyone who doesn't think Clinton wouldn't have been demonized the way Obama has been seems to have slept through the entire 90s.

I'm hardly thrilled with the President, but I can't name one thing that she would have done that he failed to do.

This. So thoroughly this.

If anything, the GOP would have been more poisonous than ever with HRC as president because they wouldn't have underestimated her.

The only thing I can think that might not have happened would be the Tea Party ... a movement that coalesces largely around the fact that the president is black.

It couldn't possibly be that they're against policies that have been disastrous. No, siree. Couldn't possibly be that. :

Got news for you: This guy's skin color has nothing to do with why he's the worst president in U.S. history. It's the red that bothers people, not the black.

Then where were they for the eight years that Bush was president? Or when Reagan ran up huge deficits? There was no Tea Party then.

All of a sudden now, the deficits are too high. Well, where were they when Cheney said, "Deficits don't matter?"

Those guys were pikers compared to this guy. Got news for you: When you don't give a shirt about the debt this guy is mounting, complaining about the debt the others mounted is rank hypocrisy.

She will be the next president. 2016-2024.

GFYA

Classy.

No less classy than accusing anyone who is on the other side of the spectrum of overt racism. Tired of that BS.

This.

You know who is tired of having the race card played against them? Racists.

Here are the most up to date scores:


George W. Bush R 2001–2005 +2,135
George W. Bush R 2005–2009 +3,971
Barack Obama
D 2009–2010 +1,653


The final number is amount (in billions) of debt added.

And since obviously Obama will not get another term (because he is the worst president in history) it is unlikely there will be more debt added than in Bush 43's time in office.

You don't like the "Tea Party"? Fine. You think they are stingy, selfish bastards? Fine. You think they are partisan hacks who would love to see a change at the White House? Fine. Just don't paint it all with the racism brush. There are much fairer avenues of attack, given their public positions.

I don't paint all of the Tea Party with the racism brush, just the subset of the Tea Party that doesn't think a Hawaiian birth certificate is a Hawaiian birth certificate.

If only the "Tea Party" had thought to protest gigantic deficits in any year 2001-2008 inclusive.


Cheney cut him off. "Reagan proved deficits don't matter," he said.

Az, there have been deficit hawks throughout our history. They may not have always come from the same side of the spectrum, or manifested themselves into a "Tea Party," but they've always been there. People didn't just start worrying about it on Jan. 20, 2009.

Maybe so, but you and I both know that a huge portion of today's Tea Party "deficit hawks" are folks that had no problem with runaway red when it was Ronald Reagan and Dubya who were irresponsibly running up utterly outrageous deficits year after year. Wasn't until the black man was elected president that they suddenly found religion and decided deficits were the intolerable sin.

The Dems will never nominate a 68-year-old fossil as POTUS. Doddering-old-nitwit land is the other guys' territory.

Prediction: When the next Republican President doubles the deficit in an attempt to deal with unemployment (which could be as soon as 2013), you won't hear a peep about it from Republicans of any kind. They're a tribe, not a political party. It's a waste of pixels to use logic on 'em.

The next GOP president won't spend a rusty nickel of government money on unemployment. The teabaggers would shirt an aircraft-carrier full of broken glass if he does. The government, they believe, shouldn't be wasting money on that shirt (or anything else, really).

The Teabag Party appeared magically out of nowhere on Jan. 23, 2009 (Go look it up -- from multiple sources).

There are two reasons they exist. Racism and greed.

Well, three, if you want to throw in paranoia.
