Have you been living under a rock. The war Bush got us involved in wound down and Obama got us in a war in Afganistan. America is nearly 16 trillion in debt and Obama is responsible for five trillion in his first THREE YEARS.
If you want to know more about how the democrats are wasting tax dollars and screwing the tax payer watch the two videos below. They made me so mad I sent some of those dumb ass "democraps" a nasty letter.

What's so frustrating is that people care more about believing they're right, than being right and actually caring about being right. You'd rather just say whatever you think makes a point that people will fall for in the moment than actually choosing what you support or oppose based on facts and what those facts suggest are good for the majority.
Obama got us into what? Stupid, or stubborn, you're just plain wrong. We first attacked and invaded Afghanistan beginning less than a month after 9/11. We never left. There were over 30,000 troops there when Obama took office.
Reagan/Bush Sr. more than quadrupled the debt. Bush Jr. doubled it again. Obama has added around another half to it. Only one of them inherited the worst recession since the great depression. The majority of what he's spent would've been necessary no matter who had inherited the mess.
People on the right often really really like Reagan. People love to quote his job creation. Even Romney brought this up in one of the debates. Did you know that Reagan peaked higher on unemployment than Obama, stayed at or above 10% for several months? Did you know that Reagan took about 6 1/3 years to get unemployment down 1 whole percent from when he took office? He also increased the debt about 80% in his first term, nearly tripling it in 8 years.
So citing debt and unemployment doesn't really get you anywhere. Reagan is one of two presidents to create as many jobs as they did, and based on the direction we're going now, Obama will be right up there with them by 2016. Romney has promised great job growth, based on numbers that are already in motion under Obama and will happen with no action from him if he wins.
