Hot Air 101: Didn't Obama vote for the "deficit" he claims to be inheriting?


Today, Pres. elect Obama spoke about the deficits inherited.

Unfortunately, every dime of deficit that Obama inherited was approved by Obama:

"Yet while Obama stressed that he'll inherit the $1.2 trillion deficit — and on Tuesday called the Bush administration irresponsible for adding to the national debt — he didn't identify any Bush-era policy that he'd reverse to reduce the deficits and mounting debt." (Just as Obama begins, huge deficit could hamper plans)

John Hinderaker got it right:

"Obama's attacks on the Bush administration were equally silly:

"First of all, when I hear that from folks who presided over a doubling of the national debt, then, you know, I just want them to not engage in some revisionist history.

I inherited the deficit that we have right now and the economic crisis that we have right now."

Right.

And that's why his first act as President is to double or triple the deficit?"

Great. BO voted for everything in the budget, including proposing a $800 billion package. However, he continues to say "I inherited the deficit".
