It was not so much Obama winning as it was the GOP losing. They abandoned their fiscal conservative principles and are now paying the price. The GOP spent like drunken sailors during the bush years and now have to pay the piper. When the GOP gets back to its small government, low spending and low taxes principles they will get back into power. The GOP needs a young fiscal conservative to lead the party back. The GOP has been the democratic party light the last 8 years fiscally.
Well it costs a lot of money to wage unnecessary wars.
If the current stimulus plan goes through we're about to spend more in total trying to rescue our economy than we have spent in Iraq over nearly 6 years, and we all know that the stimulus plan will only be a temporary patch on things. I'm not convinced that a lack of invading Iraq would have changed this outcome either. The economy was due for a fall. It just happened to have happened near the end of a president's time in office...just like last time.
