Americans estimate that the federal government wastes 51 cents of every dollar it spends, a new high in a Gallup trend question first asked in 1979. The low point in the trend was 1986 when the estimate was 38 cents. Let’s see, who was president then? Yeah, we WISH Obama was more like him. But we have a proposal for Lizzy Borden Warren: since you people WASTE more than half the money you take from us, we should be able to just give you 49% and nothing much would change, right? Well, nothing much besides the economy recovering, unemployment decreasing, minor stuff like that.

Like OJ looking for Nicole's murderer on the golf course, 0bama is scouring the golf course for wast in the federal government.
You do realize that it has been steadily increasing since 1986 right? With your logic is it safe to say that in 2006 the number being higher than when Bill Clinton was President means that President Bush was a terrible President?
Pleasseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The allusion to Reagan was a play on Obama and his media spinners' attempt to portray himself as another RR (as they tried to portray him as Lincoln, JFK, FDR and now, Truman) in their attempt to create a positive narrative for the SCOAMF. Obviously, there is more to the level of federal spending in any period than who is president at that time, although as we have seen, the chief executive's attitude towards spending does have a large effect.
Based on this chart can you say that Obama has mad worse decisions then the last two republican presidents?
Thirds.
Absolutely correct. Mad and worse decisions. Both are correct descriptions of everything zero has done in comparison to both the Georges. Why stop there? Everything he has done is madder and worse than Bubba and Jimmah did, too! This obviates, then, that he totally sucks at the job that only Ron was able to conduct with panache and style, all while maintaining a real desire to keep America the land of freedom and prosperity, both items zero intends to eliminate and he is doing his best to those ends.
John, you seem kinda obsessed with President Bush. You seem to bring him up in almost every post. He's retired.
So F**king what!! We hear reports daily about these things! Less than 18 percent approval of our elected leaders, 16 dollar muffins, 42 thousand dollar bracelets on the wrists of people who have never held a job. So f**king what!! Any other country would be staging an overthrow of government with the folks in leadership being put to death. What do the Americans do, refuckingelect them to another term in office, or elect someone else they know nothing of. So fucking what!!!
