Obama's Deficits

With the recent news that the deficit for the year is going to be $1.4 trillion, I'm sure a lot of conservatives are thinking that this makes Obama incompetent, maybe even more so then Bush. Anyone who thinks this has to realize that in order to rack up a $1.4 trillion deficit, Obama had to first spend $3.4 trillion. Was Bush ever competent enough to spend $3.4 trillion? Was he?
