The Pot Calling the Kettle Black!!!

Obama Helped Create
the Big Deficit He Inherited

President Obama likes to complain that he inherited the first-ever $1 trillion deficit from the Bush administration--though, technically, he inherited the debt, not a deficit, which is annual.

Of course, he then immediately proceeded to replicate it and then some, with a:

$1.88 trillion deficit for FY 2009, and $1.65 trillion for FY 2010.

And in February the White House projected $1.65 trillion deficit for FY 2011, and $1.1 trillion for 2012.

Obama’s protestations would be a little more credible if he had opposed the budgets and big-spending increases for the two years he was a senator--when Democrats controlled the House and Senate. But Obama voted for the budgets in 2007 and 2008, which were drafted by fellow Democrats.

And he voted for additional big-spending programs like TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program), which passed in the fall of 2008. In fact, it’s hard to find a budget deficit or a big-spending increase that Obama didn’t vote for.

Complaining about inheriting a $1 trillion deficit that he helped create is not just disingenuous, it’s downright dishonest.

The regime knows it can say anything it wants to and get away with it because the Obama supporters are incapable of critical thinking.
