Interesting  about Obama’s
budget

Be sure to
read the "short civics lesson" after the cartoon.

B-b-b-but it's
his fault ... he started it"

 

The Washington   Post babbled again today
about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush. And amazingly enough, a lot of
people swallow this nonsense.

So once more, a short civics lesson.

Budgets do not come from the White House.
They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January
2007 it's the Democratic Party.

Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the
budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009 as well as FY 2010 and FY
2011.

In that first year, they had to contend
with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush
somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry
Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep
government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they
passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009
budgets.

And where was
Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed
all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President
to complete FY 2009. Let's all remember what the deficits looked like during
that period:    (below)

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it
was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was
the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending.
After that, the Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that
includes  Senator Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited
it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit
that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January
20th. 

There is no
way this will be widely publicized,  Unless each of us sends it on!  This is
your chance to make a difference
