"Emergency spending measures?" That's it? That's the "corruption" you claimed? That's the "hidden" spending? That's what Obama is now being "honest" about? Wow, that's some great innuendos there Andy and all about teacup temptests.
The "off budget" items were as out in plain sight and accountable as you can get. They also enjoyed continuous Democratic support throughout the Dubya's years. And such "spending tricks" are hardly proof of corruption. Good thing to, as the Democrats in Congress used such "off budget" maneuvers to keep from having to include Social Security in their budget and thus were able to gain polically from having "balanced" the budget.
Come on Andy, this was a pretty sly thing to try and weedle through here. Particularly with the inference that it was something the Dubya / GOP dreamt up on their own and somehow was proof of "corruption."
