For four years all writer Gene Robke has done is point out things President Bush did -- what the deficit was when Bush took office, what it was when he left, yada, yada, yada.

Never once does he let us in on what President Obama has done to our economy, the number of people he has added to the food stamp list, unemployment, deficit or national debt. If I were in Robke's shoes, I would try to forget it all, too. I won't regale you with all those details as concerned Americans already know about them and liberal Democrats like Robke don't care.

I will give you one example of Obama's perfidy. He stole more than $700 billion from Medicare, spent it on Obamacare and called it a savings. That's like the mayor of Collinsville robbing the treasury, spending the money to build a monument to himself on the corner of Main and Center that no one wanted and then bragging about how much money he saved the city.

Isn't it strange, everything that happened while Bush was in office is his fault, although he had a Democratic Congress for most of the time, while all the bad things occurring on Obama's watch is someone else's doings? I think there's a word for that: hypocrisy, maybe?

As far as the millionaires wanting to keep at least some of their money, why shouldn't they? After all, the freeloaders are keeping all of theirs.
