Obama In 2008: Adding $4 Trillion to Debt Is “Irresponsible” and “Unpatriotic”

Back in July of 2008, Barack Obama calls it “irresponsible” and “unpatriotic” to add $4 trillion to the national debt. In the video below White House Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest is asked how he would characterize Obama having added his own $4 trillion to the debt in under 3 years. Is it “unpatriotic” as well? Earnest’s response was to blame Bush and say that Obama’s spending was necessary in order to “pull us back from the brink of another great depression.”
