When Inflation hits well the Democrats still blame Blame Bush when Obama has spent more than he did?

in his first year as Bush did the entire time he was President including the two wars?

Update:

Or that over 1/2 of Obama's Budget ARE Bush's deficits? ... Zaphod, what kind of nonsense is that... Can you show me where Obama is paying off ANY deficit?

I guess stupid questions get even more stupid replies...

    Yep. It's hard wired into all liberals now. Any problem during Obama's reign- Bush's fault.

    First, of course they will blame Bush, their messiah obama can do no wrong. 10 years down the road when a problem goes wrong theyll blame bush. and for people who say bush is the worst president weve ever had, youre idiots. No he wasnt perfect but he wasnt terrible either. he was a decent president with some good and bad ideas. if you look at somebody like Carter, who ruined the 70's and left the country in the hole, or FDR who's great New Deal extended the depression, then you would easily see that bush is not near the worst we have had. just wait the inflation will come and it will not only be bush's fault but all of texas too just because they have an accent. Even though texas made more jobs last year than the rest of the entire US. some people have no clue what they are saying

    wrong...Obama hasn't spent more than Bush, that's absurd.

    However....

    His budget, which was already in deficit, does beat the deficit of any of the anual budgets Bush signed.... that is the truth of it....and you would do well to acknowledge the truth instead of exaggerating it if you want your talking points to be considered credible.

    The wars are the meat and potatoes of the budget deficits this year, and were most of the Bush years too...no matter how you try to spin it.... and Obama didn't start those wars did he ?

    The idea that there are two seperate piggy banks for wars and domestic spending is irrational. The money comes from the same place...financed through the Fed, and then taxpayers pay it back. Domestic Budget + cost of wars = TOTAL SPENDING BUDGET,.... total budget - actual cash on hand = total budget deficit.

    Bush tried to have it both ways... he wanted to exclude the war cost from the official budget figures,...while at the same time refusing to sign the domestic budget unless it came with the war funding.

    Here's another fact for you.... Democrats won congressional elections in 2006, and weren't even seated until January 2007...holding a fledgling two seat majority... they only sent Bush ONE BUDGET out of all of the spending budgets of his entire term...and they only got him to sign it by giving him more money for the wars.

    ------------------------------

    You obviously don't know what a deficit is...

    You don't pay off a deficit, you pay off a debt incurred by a deficit. A deficit is the money they end up "borrowing", which incurs debt. Bush expanded government, and increased the budget deficits, to all time record levels... and neither the National Debt, nor the budget deficits, ever shrank a single dollar the entire time he was in office. <<<< FACT

    Yeah and that is the way it's going to be for awhile. I kind of blame both of them, They both listen to much to ad visor's and that is leading them down the wrong path. I think both should and should've did their own thinking and really take the time to think what is happening to the AVERAGE american citizen. Again the rich get bailed out on the back's of working class americans. Thought (STUPID ME) everything i heard about OBAMA was really-really hoping he might be different but he's no better then the last 4 presidents.. Everything been going down hill since REGAN left office. You people who are going to talk about Clinton. Hope you would have enough common sense to know Regan started our recovery, Clinton just benefited from it.

    Of course they will blame Bush.

    Liberal Democrats refuse to take responsibility for their actions. It so much easier to blame someone else.

    They may even get away with it for awhile, but eventually the public gets wiser.

    Yeah!!! I can just hear it now...they'll say, Bush's irresponsible spending made it necessary to stimulate the economy with even more spending!!! Like there's some big difference between spending and irresponsible spending....it's all spending right!!!

    They just want to say Bush this and Bush that all the time and I'm just like...you're such a hypocrite! It was totally Clinton's fault for everything, (9/11, bad economy, god hating us...etc.)

    Of course they will blame Bush. They already are.

    Regardless of how much the Obama administration spends, it will always be because Bush left such a HUGE mess to clean up.

    Reminds me of the time I saw several fire fighters standing around monitoring a bonfire that was almost all burnt out. I ran in and tossed a bucket of gasoline on it, then chastised the firefighters for just standing around. At least I was doing something.

    Obama's a 'tard, I guess Dems think it's okay to elect a tard and make excuses for it's behavior, because making fun of a mentally handicapped individual wouldn't be nice...
