It seems disingenuous to exclude partial responsibility for the occupations in Irag and Afghanistan from Obama policies given that we are still there.

Agreed. Stuff like this shouldn't be on the front-page unless it comes from an impartial source.

And would you like to define what an impartial source is?

I'd rather deal with analyses on their merits, rather than based on arbitrarily decided notions of impartiality. This isn't baseball. There may nominally be two sides to the debt ceiling debacle, but it's not a game. Let's look at what is being said, rather than disqualifying based on who's said it.

I would define an impartial source as a group not affiliated with the political parties that are being compared in the infographic, not too complicated...

I read that as attributing costs to policies, rather than administrations, but good point. Obama voted for TARP, so he should split that cost with Bush.
