Speaking of idiots
Democrats are trying to blame President Bush for Obama's trillions and trillions in deficit spending. (I know!) Their "reasoning" is that "fiscal year" 2009 started back in October so Bush is responsible for all that and Obama is responsible for only about two months.
Eh, what?
I know, I know, never mind that fiscal year 2009 is going to go on and on...until September, so any "ratio" will be in Obama's "favor" by year end. Democrats have also chosen to forget that the Democrats in Congress pulled an end run around President Bush when it came to the 2009 budget:
WASHINGTON -- Weary of the yearly battles with President Bush over federal spending practices, Congressional Democrats made a tactical decision last fall to dodge the lame duck commander in chief's threat to veto any budget exceeding his spending limits by postponing consideration of the fiscal 2009 budget until after November's election. The thinking in approving a placeholder budget through this month was that a new administration -- they weren't banking on a McCain victory -- would view additional spending on key social programs more favorably.
So that makes the 2009 budget (and deficit) 100% Democrat(ic)!
Sorry Democrats, reality once again trumps your ideology!
