The CBO projected a $1.2 trillion deficit for FY 2009 on 7 January 2009.

This was two weeks BEFORE Obama took office.

Two items. One, the Congress has the purse strings. Two, that stat is projected budget deficits.

Plus, when the democRATs gained control of both the House and Senate, they threatened Bush with shutting down the government, to include the two wars, social security and medicare.

Your point is not well researched, nor is it relevant to the current deficit and debt situation.

In the fwiw department, I remember what is posted to me, and what I respond to.

I doubt that those numbers reflect Bush’s proposed budget. In fact, I know they do not. Again, not a Bush fan. Voted for him in 2000, and then realized my mistake after Medicare part D. What a bunch of suckers we were.

Deflection won’t help your 0h0m0 defense. Everyone KNOWS that your 0kaka took office in Jan 2009. Everyone KNOWS that RATs in Congress were doing the spending BEFORE your 0p0s took office. Everyone KNOWS that you’re a troll that will go down BEFORE your 0b0z0 will be zotted on November 6.

Take the Trolley Bus and watch your derriere, which is not in Reggie’s “hands” as 0h0m0tallah’s!

Yep, two weeks before 0bama took office, and two YEARS after Nanzi Pelouzi and the Demonrats took control of both houses of Congress.

You do know that, per the Constitution, all spending bills originate in the House of Representatives, don’t you?

If not, rather than trying to compensate for being wrong by being even more wrong, you might want to sit down, shut up, and do some research before you post something wrong, yet again.
