Emily, the national debt has increased almost 9 trillion dollars under Obama.
Bush left office with a national debt of slightly over 10 trillion dollars.
Obama will be leaving a national debt of about 20 trillion. The congress has
given Obama about 1 trillion dollars over revenues( that's 1 trillion dollars
of deficit spending) every year he has been in office. He just hasn't spent it
on an Iraqi war.

Mike, please.....read this. Look at the larger picture! It is a balanced
assessment by politifact and it doesn't summarily exonerate Obama in his claims
either.

One thing to keep in mind is not mistaking his noise for sustained popularity,
enough to clinch the White House. On the other hand, he has been created, in a
cheap and ugly way, out of a legitimate frustration at having trusted an
establishment that has consistently widened the gulf between the haves and
have-nots, while the middle class funds it all. I trust when the dust settles
that people will vote for well thought out ideas and experience, that address
their concerns, vs. electing this guy.

Yep, the guy crossed a line with that little vignette - I can't recall in my
lifetime when the presumptive nominee for either major party said he'd like to
punch someone in the face. Beyond disgusting - He is done. I agree it shows his
absolute shallowness, and pandering to our basest emotions.
I heard him say after his win in Nevada that it proves he can do anything he
wants, say anything he wants (including kill someone - he actually included
this) and people still love him. He was serious.
When I awoke to my alarm clock with the news as my wake up call it was chilling
(and alarming). There was the Trump crowd shouting in what could only
described as the equivalent of a stadium full of people bellowing, "Heil
Hitler'. Many in America have gone mad. It is not Trump that is the problem -
it is what he has awakened and validated in these people. He had given license
to an ugliness and brutality in others that is growing into a crescendo of
demented voices echoing throughout America. Luckily, there seems to be an
opposite and equally loud outcry and recognition of this monstrous movement
from those who see what is happening. How to stop it? I'm not sure.

It's a sad day when a thug like Trump can take over one of America's great
political parties. I see that yesterday he was saying, about a protester at a
rally, that in the old days they would carry such people out on a stretcher
(cheers), and he clearly relished those old days and chafed at the restrictions
that now apply. He also said that he would like to punch the protester in the
face (more cheers). Has it really come to this? Will America vote for a
narcissistic fascist? Hillary will shred this guy in the debates because he is
an ignoramus who has not thought through a single one of his so-called policy
proposals.

Nationalism and populismpropel Trump
As the returns came in from South Carolina Saturday night, showingDonald Trump
winning a decisive victory, a note of nervous desperation creptinto the
commentary.
Political analysts pointed out repeatedly that if all of the votes forMarco
Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Jeb Bush and Ben Carson were added up, theyfar
exceeded the Trump vote.
Why this sudden interest in arithmetic?
If the field can be winnowed, we were told, if Carson and Kasich can
bepersuaded to follow Bush and get out, if Cruz can be sidelined, if we can get
aone-on-one Rubio-Trump race, Trump can be stopped.
Behind the thought is the wish. Behind the wish is the hope, the prayerthat all
the non-Trump voters are anti-Trump voters.
But is this true? Or are the media deluding themselves?
Watching these anchors, commentators, consultants and pundits called tomind the
Cleveland Governors Conference of 1964.
Sen. Goldwater had just won the winner-take-all California primary,defeating
Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, assuring himself of enough delegates to goover the top
on the first ballot at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.
But with polls showing Barry losing massively to LBJ, the panickedgovernors at
Cleveland conspired to block his nomination.
Michigan Gov. George Romney and Pennsylvania Gov. Bill Scranton wereprodded to
enter the race. Scranton would declare his availability in SanFrancisco with a
letter accusing Goldwater of hostility toward civil rights –Barry had voted
against the 1964 bill – and of excessive tolerance towardright-wing extremists
such as the John Birch Society.
And what became of them all?
Goldwater won his nomination and went down in a historic defeat, butbecame a
beloved figure and the father of modern conservatism.
Of those who turned their backs on Goldwater that fall, none ever won
apresidential nomination. Of those who stood by Barry that fall, Richard
Nixonand Ronald Reagan, both would win the GOP nomination twice, and the
presidencytwice.
And the conservative movement would hold veto power over party nomineesand
become the dominant philosophy of the GOP.
Folks forget. Not only were there “liberal Republicans” and
“moderateRepublicans” back then, they dominated the landscape. Yet rare is
theRepublican today who would describe himself in such terms. Which brings us
back to the anti-Trump cabal.
While their immediate goal is to deny him the nomination, do they reallythink
that if the party nominates Rubio, things can be again as they were
beforeTrump? Do they not see that America and the West are undergoing a series
ofcrises that will change our world forever?
Bernie Sanders is not all wrong. There is a revolution going on.Late in the
last century, when Robert Bartley was editorial editor, theWall Street Journal
championed a constitutional amendment of five words –“There shall be open
borders.”
Bartley, who told colleague Peter Brimelow, “I think the nation-state
isfinished,” wanted U.S. borders thrown open to people and goods from all
overthe world. To Bartley and his acolytes, what made America one nation and
onepeople was simply an ideology.
But what was silly then is suicidal today.
Whatever one may think of Trump’s talk of building a wall, does anyonethink the
United States is not going to have to build a security fence todefend our
bleeding 2,000-mile border?
Given the huge trade deficits with China, Japan, Mexico and the EU,
thehemorrhaging of manufacturing, the stagnation of wages and the decline of
themiddle class, does anyone think that if Trump is turned back, the GOP
cancontinue on being a free-trade party financed by the Beltway agents
oftransnational corporations?
Absent some major attack on the homeland, do our foreign-policy elitesbelieve
the American people would support new U.S. interventions to defeat,occupy and
tutor Third World nations in liberal democracy?
Trump is winning because on immigration, amnesty, securing our borderand
staying out of any new crusades for democracy, he has tapped into the
mostpowerful currents in politics: economic populism and “America
First”nationalism.
Look at the crowds Trump draws. Look at the record turnouts inRepublican
caucuses and primaries.
If Beltway Republicans think they can stop Trump and turn back themovement
behind him, and continue on with today’s policies on trade,immigration and
intervention, they will be swept into the same dustbin ofhistory as the
Rockefeller Republicans.
America is saying, “Goodbye to all that.”
For Trump is not only a candidate. He is a messenger from MiddleAmerica. And
the message he is delivering to the establishment is: We want anend to your
policies and we want an end to you.
If the elites think they can not only deny Trump the nomination, butturn back
this revolution and re-establish themselves in the esteem of thepeople, they
delude themselves.
This is hubris of a high order.
