a record $1.2 trillion budget deficit for this year even before the costs of the nearly $800 billion economic stimulus package

By my math that's $2 trillion. But I do have to admit, Obama has already performed his first miracle: I thought it would be impossible for anyone to make Bush look fiscally responsible in comparison - I was wrong.

As a brand, the GOP is garbage. Yugo. Cadillac Cimmeron. New Coke.
