Cash for clunkers did sell a lot of new cars and sure did help the dealerships! How much of this "new debt" belongs to his programs and initiatives, and how much is the result of programs that were already in place prior to Obama taking office?
I'm not endorsing Obama for re-election, just wondering how much of the blame cast on him was the fault of the state of the nation when he took office? For the Republicans, it's very easy to place all the blame on Obama, but then he doesn't write bills, he doesn't pass bills on his own, he only signs or vetoes the bills that come to his desk.... Not everything he tried worked, but then I don't recall anyone else in any job or position that has a 100% success rate, either!!! There's plenty of blame to go around, I just wish it would get passed around to all the responsible parties involved rather then just make Obama the scapegoat for everything!!!! But, I guess as with most things, if we have someone to blame then everything is ok......Don't worry that no one has a solution for the problems we face, just so we can blame someone for the failures........
