Have you heard *THIS* one...?

"from George Washington to GWBush, Obama has spent more in 18 months than ALL those Presidents COMBINED"

my response to my father when he spouted this in my house this morning was "That's because he had to get us OUT of the freaking DITCH that B**H put us in...!"
then i stopped myself - and told him i could NOT have this conversation with him in my home, it makes me too upset and it's not funny.

cuz of course, the whole meme began with an Obama 'joke' and him asking if i didn't feel like i should take *my* sticker off by now...

ugh...my mom called me back and apologized later and said he woke up talking like that this morning...i guess his mind has been chewing on the hate for days and he needed an outlet... he's 78 and his brain cells are fried every day by watching FOX...it's so sad, but so upsetting at the same time.

I don't know what to say to this stuff...it just makes me so angry i want to scream. I was really serious when telling my dad to get out of my house if he was gonna spew that shit...

1. Yeah and Bush did exactly the same thing

From Washington to Clinton Bush spent more that all other Presidents combined.

2. At least you have your own haouse. My dad does that shit and we live in the SAME

house. I just retreat to my part of the house and fume at him. Ugh. I can't wait to get out of here.

3. You have my sympathy-I don't know how long I could take it.

Breathe....Breathe...

4. ya,

my mom said she usually just walks away and ignores it...but it was in my house and i just had to hold my boundaries...

then he comes back inside and gives me shit about having to buy studs for my car this winter...i told him don't sweat it, i have all wheel drive ..the guilt factor, when he KNOWS i have been unemployed and job searching. He has money stashed away for his rainy day and would rather see me struggle on welfare and tehn get mad at me when i need help...
so ya, it sux cuz on some level i feel like i'm trapped too...

5. BUT it is a lie.

This year, 2010, was the first official budget for Barack Obama. His first year in office is not his budget - it is Bush's budget. That was the budget that was $1.3 trillion dollars in deficit. This years deficit went down to $1.2 trillion dollars. So the truth of the matter is that Obama has put us less in debt than the last year, one year only, of George W Bush.

6. Amazing how they can LIE in such a bold faced manner isn't it..

When Bush* took office our National Debt was less than six trillion dollars and was being paid down because of Budget surpluses. When Bush* left office our National debt was over elevin trillion dollars. Bush* doubled our Debt which was the accumulation of every Administration America has ever had... What they are saying about Obama is actually the truth about Bush* and a complete LIE about Obama. Obama's one and only Budget so far is in deficit of 1.2 trillion dollars, a long ways from being more than every Administration to date...
