Obama Haters checkmate!

[Creed of Heresy]

It's actually worth noting that the reason for that spending is actually a direct result of Bush-era policies. 2009 was caused by the massive bank bailouts, 2010 was as a result of the economic stimulus programs [like the ones that cut taxes or extended unemployment benefits, things like that], 2011 was as a result of the huge amounts of money that had to be spent for the DoD for the inventory check for all the personnel and equipment that had been brought back from Iraq; TONS of repairs, replacement, and re-stocking, all of which was included in the projected cost of the war back in 2003, and which continued throughout 2012 and will continue to do so until 2014, at which point we will be hit AGAIN with another RRR from the DoD for our troops and materiel in Afghanistan when they're drawn back. These are expenses laid at Bush's feet, not Obama's.
