I'm Sick of hearing from Obama I "Inherited"

The Washington Post babbled again today about Obama inheriting a huge deficit from Bush, blah, blah, blah. Amazingly enough, a lot of people swallow this nonsense.

So once more, check this short civics lesson.

Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress, and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party. They controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009, as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011. In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases. For FY 2009, though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.

At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill
to complete the FY 2009 budgets. And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.

Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:

If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the
last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five
years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that,
Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a
nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for
and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.


IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP OUR FACTS STRAIGHT AS THE MEDIA GOES WITH
FEELINGS - AND PAINTS A PICTURE THEY LIKE

If one is intellectually honest, it will be obvious that the ideas put forth above are, in fact, correct.

Thank you.

A fool-proof way to fix the current Federal Government

You may be thinking, "No way! There can't be a way to do that!" But you'd be wrong.

It's very simple, too! First step:

Look up the roll call vote on the TARP bill for the House Reps who voted for or "No Vote" on the bill.

Second step is just as easy:

On election day this year,

DON'T VOTE FOR THEM!!!!

Vote for the other guy... Unless he's a Democrat, then try to get a different candidate for the Republican nomination, because the current Rep you have, is a RINO!
