Well, just because Bush did it doesn't make it right, but I don't think anyone expected Obama to tighten the belt if elected.
All things considered, Obama's first year bender looks to be less than Bush when you take into account the Medicade entitlement, 2 trillion dollar Iraq war and extra tax cuts that even John McCain said we couldn't afford.
In a nutshell, I think the National Debt is a big issue (Medicare being a bigger one)...but this is pretty much a non-partisan issue. The notion that Republicans are more fiscally conservative is a myth.
