Fail. They both did. Deficit spending increased faster under Obama than Bush.

How do you define "needing more"

As far as I know, our citizens still have it better off than 95% of other nations.

Even Bush seems to have agreed, since back in 2003 he dedicated billions to the AIDS problem in Africa and the Carribean

Duh. You're a smart one.

No shit, Sherlock...Obama got stuck holding the purse after GWB went on a binge with our country's money. No the poor guy no only has to fix it, he has to hear shit from brilliant economists like yourself.

^ From a deficit of $420 billion to $1.85 trillion is a pretty big fucking jump in only one year. Obama was not FORCED to do that, he CHOSE to.

The alternative? Worst depression in world history?

Yeah, what a dick, Obama, huh?

Trying to save the world's economy is fucking thankless job, apparently. It's so much easier to just fuck everything up and leave a steaming pile for the next guy, like Bush did.

The budget for 2009 is set in 2008. That spike is the bailout, which is all Bush and the Republicans.

And who sets the budget? And who was in control of Congress in 2008?

Oh yeah, Avatard. Who was in control of Congress during the "Clinton Surplus"???

Right, Bush was holding a gun to Obama's head and forcing him to sign budgets. Either come up with something substantive or fuck off.
