If he signed it Jan. 20,2009, he sure as hell didn't write it. That's the day he took office, wasn't it?------jtdavis
Congress always creates budgets, presidents sign or veto them. Whether the budget was cobbled together in the 110th Congress (ended January 3, 2009) or the 111th Congress, Democrats had the majority in both houses. In fact, Dems in the senate had a super majority in the 111th (started January fourth)so Republican votes were unnecessary.
