Not everyone agreed with this-- especially his Republican opponents, who said he was just increasing the deficit. But the president believed he had inherited a dire situation from President Bush and it called for some kind of fiscal stimulus to get the economy moving, rather than just cutting spending. To this day, what the president did in 2008-2009 is still being debated. That said, nearly all presidential candidates claim they want to cut spending, but this is often not what happens when they get into office: both Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama did more spending than some voters would have liked.
