Barak Hussein Obama hasn’t accomplished much in foreign policy and economic policy, but the one thing he has accomplished in his first year; he has shattered the spending record for first-year presidents. Quite an accomplishment and I’m sure it’s one he’s very proud of!
President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year presidents — spending nearly double what his predecessor did when he came into office and far exceeding the first-year tabs for any other U.S. president in history.
In fiscal 2009 the federal government spent $3.52 trillion — $2.8 trillion in 2000 dollars, which sets a benchmark for comparison. That fiscal year covered the last three-and-a-half months of George W. Bush’s term and the first eight-and-a-half months of Obama’s.

Way to go Mr. President! I have come to the conclusion that YOU and the rest of goons in Washington are part of the problem and not the solution.
