How come republicans were ok with unemployment benefits under Bush

[quinnox]

being financed by the deficit, but under Obama all of a sudden they are very concerned about the deficit so no unemployment benefits is their stand?

Where were they on the deficit when Bush was adding trillions to it for wars and tax cuts for the extreme rich, why was it AOK then?

How high on the hypocrisy meter can the republicans climb?
