Were there protests led by republican congresspeople and calling for a taxpayer revolution under Bush and marching to the capital? Did the same people calling Obama's policies as bad as terrorism say that under Bush? yes there were libertarians and conservatives complaining under Bush and I have no problem with them still complaining about a legitimate point, but those that voted for Bush and stuck by him and now are complaining about spending (including congresspeople and republican senators) are a joke.

Did Fox News say that the president is destroying America when bush bailed out the banks? well they're pretty much calling for a revolt at this point even though taxes are still the same under Obama as they were under Bush.

As for the debt road trip keep in mind that Obama inherited the worst American economy since the depression from Bush and thus government spending went up to avert a complete economic collapse. The national debt returned under Bush and his policies are responsible for putting the economy and the debt where it is now.

This argument rests entirely on the fantasy that the Bush spending rate equals the Obama spending rate.  It is a matter of undeniable fact that this is not the case and that in reality Obama is outpacing the Bush spending by a massive margin...honestly I am not sure if I would call it a margin anymore once its beyond a 200% increase...the word margin just does not seem to apply in that case. 

So please, stop repeating that there is a major difference in the reactions like its some scandal when there is a blatant and completely legitimate reason for the reactions to be massively different.

edit: Here just in case you decided to skip it the first time, I will post it again:

Again....there is a completely legitimate reason to be motivated to protest now without having felt that need before...its because the problem just got 3x worse.  Accept it.
