Rob Evans, You need to check your facts. Obama included ALL the WAR spending in his defense budget (and several nondefense items). Under Bush those were done as off budget supplemental spending bills. While I think it is more honest to put the expected war expenses in the budget as Obama has done, it leads to apples-to-oranges comparisons between the two administrations budgets. The 2008 Bush Defense budget was $481.554 billion. After the additional appropriations for the war, the expenditure was $647.166 billion. Obama is spending $533 billion that is a DECREASE of 114+ BILLION DOLLARS. Please stop drinking the Obama kool-aid and check the messiah’s facts-they are usually wrong but sound fantastic, but that is all he needs.
