Dave Leonhardt makes that clear, despite lies by conservative bloggers such as Von at Obsidian Wings.
That said, Leonhardt also makes clear that Obama has chosen to continue many Bush choices; putting some of them on-budget is part of what makes the current deficits look so bad.
But, other stuff just got dumped in his lap.
That said, nobody’s forcing Obama to increase Pentagon spending so much, etc. And, I voted Green, so I have no special interest in defending the portion of debt and deficit that IS his fault.
