The more things change, the more they stay the same

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better." ~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006!

So..... What's "changed" since Barry took office.....I mean OTHER than the fact he's run our deficit up higher than any sitting president in the history of this country. ( and that's after adjusting for inflation) Or the fact that he's STILL trying to spend our way out of debt. Even with control of both houses, your savior couldn't get anything done to actually help this country.
