yeah too bad fro you fiscal years start on Oct 1st so the 2009 budget started in Oct 2008. I do believe Bush was still president.
Secondly the President as you stae PROPOSES budgets he doesn't pass then he's not king. Obama can PROPOSE all he wants CONGRESS is the one that actually passes the budget. If Congress doesn't like it then he won't get everything he wants. All the President can do is sign the budget into law or veto it. So the 2009 budget that started in Oct 2008 was in fact signed by Bush. Meaning he thought it was ok.
