Why do liberals blame all or most of Obamas 71/2 t debt on Bush?

The question always turns on who created that 1.4 trillion deficit in 2009. Cons love to give that to Obama, when reality is that 3/4 of it derives from Bush. the 2009 fiscal year started under Bush, not Obama; the main spending plan was instituted by Bush. Obama added the "stimulus package" spending to the already huge 2009 deficit as an emergency response action in face of the so-called "Great Recession". Cons love to pretend two things: 1) that the 2009 deficit belongs to Obama when it doesn't, and 2) that Obama did nothing for the economy, when without that injection of close to 400 billion extra spending, the likelihood is that the great recession would have been "the even greater depression than the great depression of the 1930s"

where are the jobs, cons love to ask? I love to answer that they flew away under the "deficits don't matter" policies of the republicans. Getting them back is not as easy as they want it to be. You cannot total an automobile and then expect to drive home in it as though nothing happened, and it sure is freaking stupid to blame the new driver for the crash caused by the driver that ran away and hid for the next four years.
