Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents

FOXNews.com

The federal government spent $3.5 trillion during President Obama's first year in office. This far exceeds the spending for any other first-year president.



President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year presidents -- spending nearly double what his predecessor did when he came into office and far exceeding the first-year tabs for any other U.S. president in history.

In fiscal 2009 the federal government spent $3.52 trillion -- $2.8 trillion in 2000 dollars, which sets a benchmark for comparison. That fiscal year covered the last three-and-a-half months of George W. Bush's term and the first eight-and-a-half months of Obama's.

That price tag came with a $1.4 trillion deficit, nearly $1 trillion more than last year. The overall budget was about a half-trillion more than Bush's for 2008, his final full fiscal year in office.

That's a big increase. But compared with other presidents' first years in office, Obama is running circles around them.

I keep asking Obama supporters when the economy will be Obama's economy. They answer "when it gets better"

So I guess the 2010 election them for the Dems will be "Don't blame us - it's Bush's fault"

Anyone can see by the polls, that excuise is no longer working

To paraphrase a wise politician:

"A recession is when your neighbor loses his job.

A depression is when you lose yours.

And a recovery is when Barack Obama loses his."

Also, the Dems in Congress can provide stimulus money for the local and state governments to install 48 inch HD TV's in the unemployemnt and welfare offices so as people stand in line, they can see Obama and Democrats in style
