Well, that is the case if we take his own words at face value – from NRO’s The Corner:
…Two days ago, CNSNews unearthed a video that captured a July 3, 2008 campaign speech by then-candidate Obama. In it, he said:
“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from 5 trillion for the first 42 presidents–number 43 added 4 trillion dollars by his lonesome, so that we now have a 9 trillion dollar debt that we are going to have to pay back–$30,000 for every man, woman, and child. That’s irresponsible. That’s unpatriotic.”…
If that is the standard, then Obama is vastly more irresponsible and unpatriotic than President Bush…it took Bush 8 years to pile up $4 trillion in debt, Obama did it in 2 years, 8 months.
To be sure, it is doubtful that Obama really meant what he said – it is highly likely that he was just doing the typical liberal Democrat thing…saying whatever proved necessary to win. Had President Bush lowered the debt by $4 trillion, Obama would have accused Bush of being unpatriotic and irresponsible for not “investing” in America…and If Obama charges up another $8 trillion by 2017 (presuming he is re-elected) he still won’t consider it unpatriotic or irresponsible. And if the next President is Republican – in 2013 or 2017, doesn’t matter – and creates only $2 trillion in debt over his 8 year term, Obama and the Democrats will call it irresponsible and unpatriotic.
For a liberal Democrat, the only test is victory – if Democrats obtain more power and personal wealth, then it was good…if they don’t, then its bad. Right and wrong, human decency, the fate of the nation and the world – all is subordinate to the power and wealth of our liberal Democrats, their RINO enablers, and their crony capitalists. Keep that in mind any time a liberal Democrat speaks…they aren’t saying what is relevant and true, but what they think (and have likely poll-tested) will help them win.

Obama: “I’m Irresponsible and Unpatriotic”
a kenyan, marxist, muslim usurper, and the point is??
this pic should be in EVERY GOP add.
And don’t forget – according to Obama, raising the debt ceiling was a failure of leadership. But don’t ever expect anyone in the media to call him out on these statements.
or
the photo shopped birth cert, and the doper romps between larry and barry who became barack, when where and how nobody knows.
From the horses mouth itself. He is unpatriotic.

Are you alright with the debt that Bush ran up?
Are you allright with the sheer hypocracy of a man calling someone else unpatriotic, then turning around and doing the exact same thing? Are you allright with a man that has not kept one campaign promise, even the ones in his power to keep? Are you allright with a man that has no verifyable history at all. I could go on and on.
Nice try major
wow, no comments from the mindless drones to defend their unpatriotic and irresponsible pResident.
Typical and pathetic.
