Subiectul: Obama's failure?

Right now Republicans are forcing the Obama administration to cut spending and give tax breaks to the rich. Yet, why are the American economy and the deficit so bad? A new report estimates the cost of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan to be at least 3.7 trillion dollars.

Apparently, the interest alone for the deficit is 185 billion dollars.

Those Republicans that are pushing the Obama administration for spending cuts and tax breaks should at least have the decency to admit that it was their political party and the Bush administration that decided to plunge the United States into war. Now the same people that created the mess are forcing cuts and tax breaks. I wonder if those Republicans will cut their own salaries as a gesture of admission of the mess they created. Can the Obama administration be expected to succeed in anything considering the mess left behind by the Bush administration? The Republicans mortgaged away the future of the United States, and now that mortgage can't be paid.
