Whose Fire Is It Anyway!

Willard "Thurston Howell III" Romney's pants-on-scare tactics reminds me of a fire department captain in Los Angeles who was charged with and convicted of multiple counts of arson -- including a fire that burned down dozens of houses and killed several people.

"In Iowa, Romney warns of 'prairie fire of debt'"

He is counting on collective amnesia that has so many people forgetting that GWBush took office with a huge national surplus courtesy of President Clinton, which he squandered on tax cuts that benefited primarily the rich, a totally frivolous and horrendously expensive war and unfunded Medicare drug coverage. 

Forgetting that it was Bush's, not Obama's, recession. 

Forgetting that it was Bush's bailout of the financial industry.  

Forgetting that Bush increased the size of government far more than Obama.

Forgetting that jobs in the private sector plummeted by the millions under Bush and have grown under Obama for 26 straight months.

Ignoring the fact that there was a budget surplus last month. 

Truth is Obama has been extinguishing the "prairie fire of debt" Bush ignited and fanned during his eight years and that Romney is just blowing smoke.
