Fox News falsely claimed Obama budget “4x bigger than Bush's costliest plan”

On America's Newsroom, on-screen text falsely claimed that President Obama's $3.6 trillion FY 2010 budget is “4x bigger than Bush's costliest plan.” In fact, President Bush submitted a $3.1 trillion budget for FY 2009 and a $2.9 trillion budget for FY 2008.
