   Baloney. How many years have the Repubs controlled Congress since Bush   
   took office?   
      
   The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was   
   January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of   
   Representatives and the Senate, the start of the 110th Congress. The   
   Democratic Party gained a majority in both chambers for the first time   
   since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.   
      
   For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy   
   that everything is "Bush's Fault," think about this:   
   January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the   
   Congress:   
   The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77   
   The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%   
   The Unemployment rate was 4.6%   
   George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of   
   JOB CREATION!   
   Remember that day...   
   January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House   
   Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate   
   Banking Committee.   
   The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part   
   of the economy?   
   BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!   
   THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especially Barney) for taking us from 13,000 DOW,   
   3.5% GDP and 4.6% Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other   
   things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy   
   from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!   
      
   (BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 times to stop Fannie & Freddie -starting   
   in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy).Barney   
   blocked it and called it a "Chicken Little Philosophy" (and the sky   
   did fall!)   
      
   And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie   
   Mac? OBAMA   
      
   And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?   
   OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!   
      
   So when someone tries to blame Bush...   
   REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"   
      
   Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the   
   gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving the economy into the   
   ditch.   
      
   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.   
      
   Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 &   
   2009 as well as 2010 & 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 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & 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 2009 budget.   
      
   Andwhere was Barack Obama during this time?He was a member of that   
   very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he   
   signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let's remember   
   what the deficits looked like during that period:   
      
   If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 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,   
   2009."
