That's a big difference.

He has spent more money to spend than any President before him. The lawmakers gave him that money. You might buy into Obama's line that he failed because Congress stopped him at every term but, I doubt the American public will be so blind.
Obama has only had to deal with a Republican majority since the spring and he should of dealt with them by changing direction. They were clearly voted in with the promise to control spending and balance the budget. The fact that they won in historical numbers should have been a clue to Obama that his spend free ways were disliked and he needed to change. Instead of working with them he has begun campaigning against them.
