Bush & Congress- not Obama responsible for Federal Spending

"The truth is that the nearly 18 percent spike in spending in fiscal 2009 — for which the president is sometimes blamed entirely — was mostly due to appropriations and policies that were already in place when Obama took office.

That includes spending for the bank bailout legislation approved by President Bush. Annual increases in amounts actually spent since fiscal 2009 have been relatively modest. In fact, spending for the first seven months of the current fiscal year is running slightly below the same period last year, and below projections."

Where are the white women at?

They conveniently forget the close to $900 BILLION dollar stimulus bill that obama lobbied for, his liberal congress passed and he signed.....but that was done by Bush. lol

It's not in there?

$170 billion of it is. They contributed the rest of it to Bush since it happened during the year he was responsible for. lol

Did you look at the graph? It has it there. Blue & red. Try again.

Yeah, $170 billion of it.

What $900 billion bill are you talking about? And where did you get the $170 billion?

Oct 08 to Sept 09 ARE Bush's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_United_States_federal_budget

I don't care to know, but I am pretty sure it would smell like his ass!

So, Obama has done none , na-da, zip, zero Federal Spending, since he's been in office???

From the factcheck article linked above:



They explain more below the brief snippet I quoted. It's pretty interesting.

I was going by the OP's title that seems to be blameing everything Obama has done on Bush.
Thanks for the brief snippet here.

Interesting. Very interesting.
