so barry has begun touting THREE trade deals and makes two claims: 1) these deals create jobs in u.s. markets and 2) the deals are languishing because of the do-nothing congress (and, remember, when barry says, "congress", he means republicans)
once: barry has not even sent the deals to congress for a vote
twice: even if he does send the deals to congress, only the senate matters because ONLY the senate can ratify treaties--trade, peace, or otherwise--and the senate, as we well know, is controlled by the DEMOCRATS, which means barry, theoretically, could have had these trade deals passed anytime in the last 30 months
three times an idiot: these trade deals--all three--were negotiated and signed by GEORGE BUSH (http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=14109943 )who sent ALL THREE deals to congress, which refused to advance any of them...and guess who controlled congress when bush sent these deals for a vote...
wait for it...
yes, the DEMOCRATS, including a FILIBUSTER-PROOF MAJORITY for the first 2 years of barry's reign...oops...i mean, er, administration

ok, ok, ok
i will always give barry credit where he deserves it...i admit it, barry is 3x better than W...see, it took W 96 months to add 4 TRILLION to the debt whereas barry only needed 31 months...in fact, that makes barry better than ALL OTHER PRESIDENTS

Of course, in typical repub false-propaganda style, the article makes no mention of the fact that more than half of the debt incurred "under Obama" includes 2009 spending, which as all but Pathetic Repub Idiots know, was part of Bush's last budget.
Proof (again) that all repubs have is lies...because they can't handle the truth.
When has the current (Dem) Congress actually passed a spending budget? How long has it been?

The Repubs have had the House for 8 months. The Dems had BOTH HOUSES for 2 years prior....

The American Sociological Association identified the four primary characteristics most associated with those Americans sympathetic to the Tea Party: “Authoritarianism, ontological insecurity (fear of change), libertarianism and nativism.”
Shocker, that.
