Where Does the Deficit Blame Lie

THIS IS WAY TOO SIMPLE AN EXPLANATION OF WHERE THE PROBLEM REALLY LIES AND FOR THAT REASON YOU'LL NEVER SEE THIS DATA BEYOND THIS EMAIL.....OH, AND REMEMBER THE "TARP"? CONGRESS WITHHELD THE REMAINING $350 BILLION OF THE TOTAL $700 BILLION, AND OBAMA PETITIONED BUSH IN DECEMBER 2008 TO REQUEST THE REMAINDER SO THAT OT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO "HIM" EARLY IN 2009.... POINT BEING IS THAT WHILE OBA MA IS KNOWN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $879 BILLION STIMULUS, HE ALSO SPENT THE $350 BILLION TARP FUNDS AS WELL......NOT WELL KNOWN OR REMEMBERED...

 The  Washington  Post babble d again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. Amazingly enough,...... a lot of people swallow this nonsense. 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 Democrat Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. 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 and Harry Reid bypassed 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.

Flashback: Two Years Ago CBS News Exposed Anchor Baby Problem

Back in 2008, before President Obama and before Arizona's illegal-immigration law, CBS News did a remarkably fair and devastating expose on the anchor baby syndrome.
