How was he forced? He campaigned on Medicare Part D. A GOP Congress allowed the growth of earmarks (although it takes two to tango on this one). You can't hold him accountable for the growth of "mandatory" entitlement spending, but you certainly can zing him for the growth of non-defense discretionary spending.
