In the post-post-partisan era, President Obama likes to emphasize that he inherited the deficit and the economic crisis. He doesn’t like the “revisionist history” of Republicans who doubled the national debt but are now opposing his stimulus package and other big-government plans.
Well, Mr. President, I opposed almost every large spending item of the Bush years — the highway bill, both farm bills, the energy bill, all the earmarks contained therein, the Medicare prescription drug benefit, No Child Left Behind, the Wall Street bailout, the Big Three bailout, the increases in foreign aid, the post-Katrina waste, and even the Iraq adventure. Am I allowed to criticize your even bigger spending items?
