The Bush administration proposed TARP, but the bailouts where extended by Obama, who's also pushed through, or is proposing a lot of additional spending, including spending in 2009. Yes the initial 2009 budget proposal was from Bush, but that proposal wasn't followed, there was a lot of additional spending, so even the 2009 deficit is largely an Obama+the current congress thing, and the future deficits will all be on them.

Even if you drop 2009 from consideration look at the CBO projections for 2010 to 2019. All those deficits are much larger than any while Bush was president.
