the CBO...you know the same CBO the right loves to quote as of late...says Obama is responsible for 10% of the deficit for this year...10%


The U.S. budget situation has deteriorated significantly since 2001, when the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecast average annual surpluses of approximately $850 billion from 2009-2012. The average deficit forecast in each of those years is now approximately $1,215 billion.

Recessions or the business cycle (37%);
Policies enacted by President Bush (33%);
Policies enacted by President Bush and supported or extended by President Obama (20%); and
New policies from President Obama (10%).

That just says that Bush ran a huge deficit, which he did, and that Obama took that and added to it.

Real Republicans hate Bush. That is why he had a 25% approval rating when he left office.

Do you think this new data has anything to do with why the leader of the CBO was called into the Oval Office the other day? Hmmmm. I smell a coverup for Obama since the CBO said what it said about the Healthcare policy. This administration is corrupt as all hell and will stop at nothing to keep us all ill-informed. Just wait until the investigation into all of ACORN's illegal activities uncovers the fact that 0bama was part of it.

Proof? Something, anything other than your opinion?
Probably not.

The budget numbers for 3Q09 just came out.
Do you know more than the CBO?

THANK YOU!! I don't see what this is pointing out, yes the government spends too much, that is why we are complaining about Obama. I was complaining about it when Bush was in office too. Obama said he was going to usher in fiscal responsibility, which we did not have under Bush, and this is not fiscal responsibility!
