The national debt doubled and the only thing he got passed was such a bad piece of legislation that it is on the verge of collapse only a few years after it fully goes into effect. It's so bad that we need congress to either repeal and replace it with something better or make massive overhauls to it already. Then again, I guess you can spin anything into a positive if you work hard enough and truly believe that a president can do no wrong.
Obamacare is a start hopefully it leads to single payer system. Ronald Regean tripled the debt, but he is considered the republican god, and if you haven't noticed the republican budget is larger than what it was last year.
Reagan absolutely spent too much, but it was during the middle of the cold war, so a lot of that is excusable. Obama did nothing of benefit to the country and doubled the debt. The albatross that is health care is not a "start" for anything positive. As to the current budget, you are absolutely right, it's just a terrible budget, you'd think a life long Democrat was in office.
The cold war vs the biggest economic crisis since the great depression? Yep Obama spent money for no reason.
What?!?!?!?!?!? Are you serious!?!?!?!?!? You think spending money to combat the largest recession since the 1930's and averting an even worse economic disaster all out depression is a reason? That's not a reason, and is not excusable.
