obama had nothing to do with either

Obama continued both.

let's see...number of troops in iraq under bush

150,000

under obama: zero in december.

that's some continuance.

Actually it will be about 50,000. The quibble about whether they are
"combat" soldiers is ridiculous when most are killed by road side
bombs, not combat.

and the tax cuts? oh. you forgot obama wanted to continue them for the
productive middle class and eliminate them for the leeches.

83% of the cost of the Bush tax cut was the people who made less than
$250k. The amount of money that would be recovered if they raised the
taxes of the $250k and up people was doubled by the 14% payroll tax
cut.
The total cost of the Obama tax cut is over a half trillion dollars a
year. That alone is close to half or our deficit.

Your math is wrong, please cite.

Those numbers are all wrong. First, the cuts are not a hill of beans to
and elephant of debt. Second, the annual deficit is $1.6 trillion, so
do the math right. The problem is really much worse than you think when
you add in GMAC, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac delinquent and fraud debts.
