Obama's Broken Deficit Promise
« on: February 13, 2012, 03:40:00 PM »
The Teleprompter in Chief misleads America again.

Quote
This is big," wrote White House director of new media Macon Phillips in a February 23, 2009 blog post , "the President today promised that by the end of his first term, he will cut in half the massive federal deficit we've inherited. And we'll do it in a new way: honestly and candidly."

Indeed, President Obama did make that promise that day, saying , "today I'm pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we've long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay - and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control."

The 2013 budget the president submitted today does not come close to meeting this promise of being reduced to $650 billion for fiscal year 2013.

The president noted in that 2009 speech the Obama administration inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit.

The deficit was similarly $1.3 trillion in 2011, is projected to be $1.15 trillion in 2012, and the president's budget claims it will be $901 billion in 2013.

This is how much that asshole has spent... Oh wait, can't call the President an asshole. Please allow me to rephrase that...

This is how much Mr. Asshole has spent since he took office and what "he inherited"~

Almost a full term, and not one claim of personal responsibility for anything. Maybe one false one, Bin Laden.

True that. Cornholio was allowed to sit in the corner and watch while the grown ups took care of business.

With the presentation of 0bama's budget to Congress today also came some proof of McConnel's RINO status when he said that 0bama hadn't "even come close"

A true conservative leader would have said:
"The President said three years ago that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. In this goal, he has been a miserable failure. He has doubled, at least, the largest deficit from the previous administration."

He's less of a shepherd, and more of a sheepdog, leading from behind.

Nah, a sheepdog would protect the flock.  This guy is a wolf, plain and simple.
