Spending under the last GOP President vs Obama

PJ:  Some conservatives are suggesting that candidate Romney lump the spending under the Obama administration with that of his predicessor.  British born conservative writer Andrew Sullivan begs to differ.

Andrew Sullivan writes:  

 

This is particularly galling for those like me and Bartlett who stood up against the Bush spending in the first term only to be ostracized and pummeled by the GOP for "disloyalty." And it says something that intellectual honesty on the right has now been entirely hijacked by tribal partisanship. Obama wanted a Grand Bargain, was prepared to negotiate, has kept non-stimulus spending under control, and shepherded the US economy through the recession more successfully than most other Western countries. The GOP gave him nothing.
