I confess ? I thought this headline was a joke when I first saw it.

Nope ? Obama really made that outlandish claim this week in Denver, Colorado.

Once again ? anyone can fact-check him at www.gao.gov/financial.html?but spending was $3.4 trillion in 2009, $4.3 trillion in 2010, and $3.6 trillion in 2011. That?s an average of $3.7 trillion/year under Obama.

Even the unprecedented spending of George W. Bush (which averaged $2.7 trillion/year) pales in comparison to the Obama administration. This isn?t funny anymore ? it is pathetic. I can?t believe I?ve even dignified such an outrageous Obama lie by responding. Americans should be livid.

I don?t even think someone as capable and qualified as Mitt Romney can fix the problems America will have if an Obama administration gets another four years of outrageous, reckless, and immoral spending.

What is Mitt?s approach? First of all, Mitt doesn?t lie about a dire situation. Here?s Mitt?s approach (straight from the horse?s mouth):

?Getting our fiscal house in order has become more than just an economic issue; it?s a moral imperative. Every dollar of deficit spending must be borrowed, with the bill sent to our children to pay back. As president, Mitt Romney will ask a simple question about every federal program: Is it so important, so critical, that it is worth borrowing money from China to pay for it?? See more here.

This country cannot afford 4 more years with Obama at the helm.
