Can't be worst than Obama. Even MC Hammer took better care of his money than Obama has so far handled the economy.

While Bush did spend too much, it is dwarfed by what obama has done. 

Amazing - Bush was running deficits both in real and as a percentage of GDP a fraction of what OWEbama has done.

I was just a little shocked last night to learn that Mitch Daniels- the guy so many repubs are suddenly gaga over - was the one serving as Dubya's budget director.

I don't understand all the fuss over the guy.

So we can trust him at the state level, just not with national pursestrings?

Go bachmann or huntsman.  Mitch daniels is not the guy IMO.
