Obama is at it again. He attributed ALL his 2009 spending to Bush’s last year budget, so he didn’t have to count it on his own spending list. Nancy Pelosi was the progenitor of this action, computing the budget based on rules that allowed him to do that and fool the American people into thinking he didn’t really spend as much money as he did. Actually, this is pretty standard in government accounting so as to minimize the American citizen’s knowledge of just how much money they HAVE spent. It’s “cooking the books” personified, and if WE did it, the IRS would put us in prison. But Obama gets away with it because he’s the boss, and controls the means of prosecution. The average American, when faced with figures such as this, “blanks out.” Their eyes glaze over and they just don’t understand the fiscal gobble-de-gook. the upshot is, they'll read this and say, "Uh, huh," then go wash the car and forget it.
