Video: Sen. Barack Obama Says It’s ‘Unpatriotic’ To Rack Up $4 Trillion in Debt

Do I really need to comment on this? Ok. They told me if I voted for McCain the national debt would be used as a patriotism litmus test, and they were right!

“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents — number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000 for every man, woman and child,” Obama said on July 3, 2008, at a campaign event in Fargo, N.D.

“That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic,” said candidate Obama.

However, in less than three years in office, Obama has driven up the national debt by $4 trillion himself.

In reacting to the resurrected comments today, TOTUS said: “Hey, don’t blame me. They didn’t take me on the road for that trip and lookie what happened. Dude can barely remember his own name without me. Heh.”

    The campaign commercials for whomever the Republican candidate is could consist entirely of Obama videos. He’s a gold mine for his opposition.

    If you haven’t done so, you MUST go see the video embedded at the end of Kyle-Anne Shriver’s latest PJM article: http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/the-five-most-catastrophic-hidden-costs-of-the-obama-presidency/?singlepage=true

    It’s the best darn explanation of the debt escalation (and scariest “road trip” video) I’ve every seen.

    I agree with Brett_McS — the 2012 election should be Barack Obama vs. Barack Obama.

  5. Will this be Obama’s YouTube Waterloo?
