Obama spending caused defeat

President Obama claimed the midterm elections were a “referendum on the economy” and had nothing to do with his policies or those of the Democratic Party. He doesn't seem to understand that his wild spending on the unpopular Obamacare program, his $800 billion stimulus program, the $1 trillion health care takeover, the $4 trillion increase in the national debt in his first two years, and the projected increase in the national debt by another $4 trillion in his fourth year played a role in the defeat of the Democrats in the midterm elections.

Obama blamed the unpopularity of Obamacare on the failure of the Republicans to cooperate. However, it was Obama's wild spending that fueled the tea party and the Republicans to surge to the polls to bring Obama's mad spending under control.
