Obama has continued Bush's policies on the war on terror only. His outrageous spending spree is his alone. Of course, Obama knows that Bush's policies on the war on terror have been very successful, so it was best not to change too much. The one change he tried to make by giving terrorists criminal trials in the US was a big mistake and it looks like Obama has realized this and dropped the idea.

He has a long way to go to catch up w/Bush and congressional Republicans in terms of spending. He had a $1.3 billion deficit (per CBO) waiting for him on Jan. 20, 2009.

He had a $1.3 billion deficit (per >CBO) waiting for him on Jan. 20, 2009. Not exactly accurate. "Let's start with 2009. It is not fair to attribute the 2009 budget deficit solely to President Obama, as the Right would like to do - or solely to President George W. Bush, as the Left would like to do. Bush signed into law that year's congressional budget. Subsequently, Obama signed into law $675 billion in additional deficit spending passed by Congress: $410 billion through an omnibus spending bill and $265 billion for the portion of the economic-stimulus bill that was spent in fiscal 2009. So, in a fair division of accountability, based on who signed for what, Obama is responsible for $675 billion of the $1.413 trillion in deficit spending for 2009. Bush is responsible for the remainder, or $738 billion.
