And if doubling the debt in 8 years is bad, AND IT IS! How is doubling it again in half that time GOOD???? And at the present rate, we will easily double the debt in less than 4 years.
Admitting Bush was bad or kidding oneself that he wasn't, is not any kind of a prediction of the new guy. And so far he looks like a brain damaged Jimmy Carter. Or worse, an eloquent Pelosi PUPPET!

Dan,
I actually think that Kerry and Gore would have caused us less harm than Bush, though in specific areas I give Bush credit for doing the right thing (right after 9-11 for example) that I doubt Gore or Kerry would have. I think Kerry would have been very indecisive, but doing nothing may be better than making the wrong decision almost all the time like the Bush administration did. There is no way to prove or disprove any of this. Watch, though - I will be called names for even saying it.
I did not vote for Obama, and I disagree strongly with the majority of items in this spending bill. Obama is doing the wrong thing - McCain would have done the wrong thing also, but his wrong thing would be a different wrong thing that would have us end up in just as much debt (or more as the numbers indicate that the GOP borrows and spends).
We, as a country, need to wake up and realise that neither party is what we think it is or want it to be. And we need to start voting accordingly.
