President Obama didn’t create today’s budget problem. Bush did.

As much as I take issue with Obama on many issues…this chart is very telling of the facts that nobody highlights. If you bring this up today everyone will say “You can’t blame Bush for everything!” And this reasoning strikes me as so rediculous…we are supposed to just wipe the slate clean for a President that cost this country so goddamn much as far as money and more importantly…HUMAN LIFE. Now Obama has not been perfect by any account but the fact is that when Bush went to put his policies into place it was to protect Republican “interests” and it got us into an economic recession…now Obama has been trying to repair our economy and it is downright SAD to see that Republicans in the House and Senate would rather see the country fail than allow President Obama to succeed on ANYTHING. Government becomes part of the problem when they put partisan politics ABOVE public issues of PRIORITY.
