Ahem.

Reuters - who know this shit - are saying that.

take it up with them - you wanted a link you got a link.

08/09 was the last year of the Bush Budget (Obama was sworn in on 20th Jan 2009) - how much chance did his spending have to affect the last BUSH budget deficit given that spending decisions are made a year in advance?.

Well, perhaps the $1 trillion in new spending on top of the old budget, passed by the Dems and Obama AFTER he was sworn in, had something to do with the $1.4 trillion debt? I’m not saying it was all his fault, but it’s silly to claim he had nothing to do with it when he sheparded $1trillion in additional spending before the end of “Bush’s” last fiscal year.
