Massive Federal Spending is an Outrage--No Matter Who is President

The left is silent over the federal spending that has come under President Obama vs. the outrage they espoused during the two terms of President Bush.

I recall many of the liberal-minded in the United States going crazy (I mean just beserk!) when President Bush was racking up debts and deficits in the eight years during his presidency.

I even remember then-candidate Obama saying something like this : (see video attached).

I am pround member of the Republican party. While I do not espouse the same belief as Mr. Obama that Bush's spending actions were un-patriotic, I do believe they were reckless and irresponsible toward the stability of our country in the short and long term. As many liberals, conservatives, moderates, republicans and democrats seem to find common ground on this issue, (at least in retrospect) where is the outrage at the current administration? President Obama has put our national debt above $16 trillion. Let me write that out:

Under President Obama, our national debt has reached to more than $16,000,000,000,000.

President Bush increased our national debt by $4 trillion in eight years. President Obama has increased it by $6 trillion in less than four years.

Now, conservatives are going beserk. Where are the liberals to join in?
