At the beginning of his speech, obama blamed the huge defecits, our current situation, on Bush, the two wars, and that pesky recession. A caller to Rush today had the same accusation.

obama and the media are working together to promote this theory. From Sunday, the New York Times posted this article, How the Deficit Got This Big with the following opening paragraph.
