That's a false argument. Who signed the spending bills that Congress sent him? Who negotiated the spending bills, as well. The first President Bush and Congress agreed to raise taxes.

Wrong. The President has to sign the bills that Congress writes, unless they override a veto.

Only an idiot would think that the President doesn't sign the spending bills. In fact, who sends a proposed budget to Congress? Hint: It's not Senator Obama.

So how do you explain all the deficits run up from 2001-2006, when Republican GW Bush ws in the White House and Congress was controlled by Republicans? Clinton? If you blame Clinton, how do you explain the surpluses run up during the last Clinton term?

No wonder you crazy Repubicans (as opposed to sane ones, like my father), don't know how to run government.

Do you own homework to fund the information you seek LOL

How do you fund information?

However, it is up to *you* to back your own claims, not someone else.

I'm asking you about your double standard -- GW Bush runs up the national debt, and you give him a pass for that, while Bill Clinton gets a fail despite running surpluses. You're a hypocrite.
