Starting January of 07 Liberals held the Purse Strings.
Your point is a good one however it has been made over and over again. Die hard Liberal Obama supporters will never acknowledge what anyone with a Brain knows. Obama spends twice as Fast as Bush. Period.
they tell themselves it's ok because Obama spends on "better" things, but that's a load of Horse shit too. Obama excels at tossing money down the ******* Drain, and little more. Everything Obama does is calculated not to be the most effective move for our Economy, and Budget, but the Most Effective move to win Votes in the Short Term. Which means short Term Feel Good Band Aids that actually do more harm in the Long run.
