LEFT CONTINUES TO BLAME BUSH FOR THEIR SPENDING BINGE

"B-b-b-But It's HIS Fault"

With the understanding that, no matter what we do, say or forward, we will never ever change the mind of a committed ideologue, I hope you all will understand that that is not the intent of forwarding this on. We do so in the hope that it will help the 80% of math and fact challenged Americans to get a grip on reality thus enabling them to get off the fence under their own power rather than be violently pushed off by the coming onslaught of lying left wing media losers.  So... B-b-b-But It's HIS Fault The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this BULL So once more, a short civics lesson  Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.  Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for FY 2008 & FY 2009 as well as FY 2010 & FY 2011. (FY = fiscal year) In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.  For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reidbypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.  And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period: (below) If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets. If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.  In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th. There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference. Stay Focused, Connected, Informed & Inspired.
