To be precise - it includes the full $1.4 trillion deficit for 2009 in President Bush’s term - it’s all under his name. Sorry, that’s not the case. Not only does it overstate what he did - more importantly it understates what President Obama did.

Move the “Bush/Obama” timeline back 8 months from where it’s shown, if you want to be precise and accurate.

Okay, we’ve been over this before. I just don’t think you want to listen.

Fiscal Year 2009 started in October of 2008. Bush signed a CR lasting until March 6th of 2009. TARP was requested and signed by Bush in October of 2008 and applied to FY09. Obama was inaugurated in January of 2009. Obama then signed a CR/budget taking us to the end of the fiscal year, i.e. September of 2009. The Obama stimulus applied to FY09 also. I think most intelligent people are about to figure out who did what and when. If they don’t already know, they can look it up.

There is nothing in error on the chart. I’m sorry it doesn’t say what you want it to say.

Two heads are better than one but there has to be some sort of conversation for that to be true. You’re not really saying anything other than “I don’t like it.” If you can point to some primary source that would add information to the discussion, I’m all eyes.
