Dems try to claim it was Bush's deficit yet they want to use recovered TARP funds for another Obama slush fund! Plus: Don't miss the video of Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) Read the Riot Act to Obama Budget Director!
If you've heard it once, you've heard it a hundred times. Despite the fact that Obama signed the most massive spending bills EVER shortly after becoming President in 2009 he tries to blame the deficit on President Bush.

BEHIND OBAMA’S PHONY DEFICIT NUMBERS
By Dick Morris

02.1.2010President Obama is being disingenuous when he says that the budget deficit he faced “when I walked in the door” of the White House was $1.3 trillion. He went on to say that he only increased it to $1.4 trillion in 2009 and was raising it to $1.6 trillion in 2010.
Congressman Joe Wilson might have said “you lie,” but we’ll settle for “you distort.”
(As Mark Twain once said, there are three kinds of lies: “lies, damn lies, and statistics.”)

A TARP fully supported by Bambi. And furthermore the Pelosi-democrats INSISTED in Dec 2008 that Bush request the entire $700 Billion TARP on his watch and use $350 Billion of it to bail out the auto unions, which was never part of the original TARP bill. And Bush, as always, caved to Pelosi.
So bambi stepped into office on Jan 20th with a huge slush fund for his union buddies.
We all need to know the facts and so does every commentator on FOX news who interviews these obamabots for “fair and balanced” coverage.
The lie about bambi inheriting a Bush “$1.3 trillion deficit” needs to be confronted right at the moment it is uttered, not in next day's editorial.
Blame Bush again!
Despite the fact that Obama signed the most massive spending bills EVER.Blame Bush./s
