Absolutely not. Bush spent too much money and also grew the government. The President does have the authority to start a war. If you will remember, Bush did go to Congress to get authority to continue it. He didn't say he would go on without Congress as Obama is vowing to do for his agenda. Bush wasn't nearly as arrogant as Obama.

Obama is spending money at least 4 times as fast as Bush ever did.
