George W. Bush
Then prove it
George W. Bush
The key word you used - generated.Then prove it
The budget that Bush submitted didn't have a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit. Now if you want to continue to talk about Bush then carry on but all that does is divert from the disaster that Obama is. Bush is out of office and my bet is you will still be blaming him 10 years from now. Bush didn't authorize the troop surge in Afghanistan

BTW, the president of S&P is resigning, why do you think that is?

Read the fact check:
As we have written twice before, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected the fiscal year 2009 deficit at $1.2 trillion two weeks before Obama took office. That fiscal year started Oct. 1, 2008. Thefiscal year was already nearly one-third over when Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009. After Obama took office, the deficit increased to $1.4 trillion for fiscal year 2009. At the end of the fiscal year, the CBO largely blamed the 2009 deficit on the recession, specifically a sharp decline in tax revenues and an increase in spending in response to the economic crisis — first by Bush and later by Obama.

Liberal tag line, the year is 2025, the US is now Greece after demo destruction of the nation, and what will liberals in this country blame it on?

Look I understand that you don't want to answer the question but posting the same information from the CBO over and over again doesn't change the fact that you have ignored the questions. The CBO projected a 1.2 trillion dollar deficit due to "increase in spending in response to the economic crisis" which means what to you? Please explain to me what part of that included the Obama stimulus, included the Obama bailout of GM/Chrysler, the Afghanistan surge ordered by Obama?
It means exactly what it says, but that is not the issue. Obama's contibution is the difference between 1.2 and 1.4 trillion. That is realitively quite small. To blame Obama and ignore Bush's contribution is illogical and quite partisan.

There's that fabled personally responsibility at work again. First it was Clinton's fault, and now Bush's actions are all Obama's fault. Repubican personal responsibility at work?
Wow, big surprise...Blame your opponent for your own miserable actions...Textbook projection...Alinsky would be proud.

When exactly did the CBO make that prediction on the budget deficit for fiscal year 2009? Better think before answering
No, think it is more than that, what did Obama do with the repayment of TARP, the Afghanistan supplemental, the Stimulus money. Why do you blame Bush for those items?
I don't blame Bush for anything Obama did. I only blame him for his actions. The issue here is the 2009 budget, which you were mistaken about.
According to the link, two weeks before Obama was elected. So, what's your point?

If you bothered to check the actual 2009 budget you wouldn't see a trillion dollar deficit, nor would you see TARP, the stimulus, or any supplementals.
My point was that CBO had no idea what the cost of the stimulus would be, how much of the TARP would be repaid, how much the GM/Chrysler takeover would be, or what supplementals Obama would have. You want to charge Obama with 200 billion of the 2009 deficit? How generous of you and how wrong. Why would Bush be charged for the full TARP spending when he didn't spend it all and then received no credit for the payback? Think, Boo, I know you can do it
Again, care to link anything you care to link, and we'll look at it. But so far, the facts do not support you.
The ANNENBERG Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania is the organization behind the FactCheck.org website that is being consulted OFTEN by voters and media personalities alike to help them form opinions on the “truthfulness” of the claims being made by the McCain and Obama political ads as well as statements made on the Campaign Trail and in Presidential and Vice Presidential debates.
Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Ph.D. is the Director of the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania which is the organization BEHIND the FactCheck.org “truthfulness” website.
Dr. Jamieson's newest book entitled “Echo Chamber: Rush Limbaugh and the Conservative Media Establishment” is a MAJOR HIT PIECE against the Conservative voices in the media on television, radio, and in print.

Boo loves to use factcheck.org. But those of us on the conservative side of the isle have known for some time now the bias that lingers in that organization. As far back as 2008 when the bias was exposed....
Why we as conservatives argue points made in such a disingenuous manner as to point to this biased crap as objective is beyond me.
