Obama was disciplined by the Tea Party and a financial collapse. But in his wildest dreams, do you think he - or Bill Clinton - would have pissed away $3 trillion on the Iraq War?
Republicans since Reagan have embraced the notion, Deficits Do Not Matter. It was Cheney who I think coined the line.
Cheney, an asshole who never made a payroll, worked his whole life in govt, and only became CEO of Halliburton because he could land govt work for his private employer.
Politicians are Fucking Idiots, Sociopaths, or most often, Both. Almost all of them. Including Obama, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan. Both of you need to drill that through your skulls. These people are too busy glad handing common morons and donors to learn anything in the detail required. They're like the dumbest members of the board suddenly made CEO for temporary periods because the actual CEO with a brain died or got caught fucking his secretary. If you venerate any of them, you're a goddamned idiot. The best of them, Bill Clinton, only succeed by having the good sense to do nothing.
