'Bama juiced it a lot more than that on "his watch".

But I was really just mocking Moan and the whole idea of selective "whos watch"

How you getting along with your new neighbor? Where's he from again?

>>> CBO estimated a $1.2Trillion deficit BEFORE Obama took office. Now they estimate $1.4Trillion.

That 1.2T figure included TARP expenditures and FNMA/FreddieMac bailouts of over $400B, reduced tax revenue of $166B, plus other costs of the recession.

All pretty much traceable to the real estate crisis which was caused by lending policies that predated Bush. All of it.
