    No "anti-war" means following our first president's advice not to involve ourselves in other nation's spats. "Rest assured while Europe is at war, we shall remain at peace here in United States." (No that's not an exact quote... I'm quoting from memory.) That president did not involve himself in the ongoing war between Britiain and France.... or any other wars.

    THAT'S the kind of president we need now. That's the kind of president both Bush and Obama claimed they would be, but failed to do because they were lying through their teeth.

    We wouldn't have been attacked on 9/11 if Presidents Bush (senior) and Clinton had not starved 1 million Iraqis through blocking their ports and/or attacking them with Tomahawk missiles in the 90s. The attack on 9/11 was in direct retailiation for our initial actions..... just like Pearl Harbor was an attack in retaliation for our bombings of Japanese soldiers in southern China during the 1930s and 1940.

    >>>The increase is due almost entirely to additional spending

    So then we agree. Obama's federal spending went UP. Way up. And stimulus? He didn't need to spend 800 billion on that (and then another stimulus bill for 300 billion). That was as stupid as the 700 billion Bush wasted on TARP. If you want to cut spending, then you cut spending. Clearly Obama has NO intention of cutting spending, and still doesn't, since he submitted a new budget with $1.6 trillion deficit... the largest so far.

    And finally:
    Blaming the housing bubble & collapse on Bush is pretty damn silly. The root cause of the bubble goes back to the announcement by the 1998 HUD secretary that nobody would be turned-down for a mortgage loan. Hence: The creation of a bubble.

    I think it's impossible to be "unbiased". Even when I was editing articles about HD Radio or DRM radio, I discovered both articles were heavily-biased (against HDR and for DRM). I tried to remove the bias, but now I suspect it's biased the opposite way. This is why I think reporters who claim to be "unbiased" are foolish. The bias sneaks in, even if it's just through omission of relevant stories (such as supposedly unbiased CNN showing a republican primary poll with 2nd place mysteriously missing; the 2nd place person was Ron Paul).

    Wow you're a dumbass. Obama added almost 6 trillion to the national debt in four years. Even Jackass Bush never accomplished that (he added 2.5 trillion during his first four years, during the dot-com recession). Obama not only broke the record, but almost doubled it! Of course the REAL reason I hate Obama is pretty much identical to why I hated Fucker Bush --- Passage of anti-freedom laws and treating people like cattle as they get poked/prodded by the TSA/VIPR teams.

    I have zero respect for a president that does not honor his oath to the Constitution/Bill of Rights. They should both have been impeached and I supported Democrat Dennis Kucinich (ya know... a guy from your team) when he offered-up impeachment articles to the Congress.

    >>>Obama is anti-war, he is getting us out of Iraq and Afghanistan as gracefully as possible.

    "If our troops are not out of Iraq and Afghanistan by the time I take office, I will bring them home my first year. You can bank on it!" - Candidate Obama. So that would be the end of 2009.

    Iraq actually ended two years after the promised date, and only because of a treaty that Dubya Bush had already signed. Meanwhile Obama tried to negotiate an extension to the war to keep troops over there, but the Iraq government said "get the soldiers out". So Obama had to leave against his will. (And even in the present time there are still ~100,000 armed "advisors" occupying Iraq.)

    - And of course Afghanistan did not end in 2009.
    PLUS the man went and involved us in NEW wars (Yemen, Libya, and drone attacks on Pakistan). I fully-expect he'll start bombing Iran after he win reelection. He is not anti-war. Watch his ACTIONS and his broken promises, not his current rhetoric.

    >>>Obama is pro bill-of-rights.

    Is that why he signed the NDAA after saying he would veto it? Is that why he asked Congress to add the two sentences taking-away a right to trial for suspected terrorists? Is that why he signed the pro-censorship ACTA treaty? Is that why he expanded the power of the TSA to grope our bodies (or nude bodyscan us) from airports to train terminals to bus depots to along interstate highways to post office, malls, and just this past weekend, a music festival in Detroit? Is that why he remains silent while elderly are strip-searched, urine/colostomy bags are spilled, women's breasts are groped, and other nursing mom are forced to stand in glass jails?

    He does not care about our rights.

    >>>Obama is anti deficit spending.

    Then how come his new budget submitted to Congress increased from 1.2 trillion to 1.6 trillion? ALSO stop blaming the republicans. The Democrats had full control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If Obama really & truly wanted to eliminate the deficit, he and his Democrat Congress would have done it in 2009 or 10.
