Obama Disowns Deficit He Helped Create

Credit goes to AP writer Calvin Woodward for calling President Obama out when he was speaking to a group today at a local High School in Missouri. When discussing the deficit in true "Blame Bush" form Obama said "Number one we inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit...that wasn't me."
The fact as pointed out so admirably by Mr. Woodward in his article for the Associated Press is this..Congress controls the purse strings, not The President and it was under Democratic control for Obama's last two years as an Illinois Senator. Obama supported the bailout package in President Bush's final months....a package Democratic leaders wanted to make bigger.
Hats off and kudos to Mr. Woodward for clearing that up...and that's what shim sez...
