I’ve already signed more than $2.5 trillion in deficit reduction into law,

Assume that the DoD's budget will stay at the surge levels in Iraq and Afghanistan for the next ten years as your baseline budget. Then claim that ending the wars are a budget cut. Presto, trillions of dollars in savings. Of course no one ever assumed that the surges would last very long, much less ten years but making that assumption gives them a big number to wave around.

It's like having a diet where I don't eat Thanksgiving Day dinner every day for the rest of my live. Presto, 2000 calories a day cut which should mean a 4 pound a week weight loss. That's 208 pounds a year.

George Will compared it to saving trillions of dollars by canceling NASA's plan to cover the moon in yogurt. Never was such a plan? Doesn't matter, it will be a huge savings.

Increasingly, zero displays why he wants a research project underway to map the brain (something that was accomplished decades ago, BTW). He's hoping that, given sufficient funding, they may be able to find HIS brain!!

He wants to try to find out what produced the brains of the zombies who voted for him so he can try to make more of them.

He’s lying. Right up there with “If you like your Doctor, you get to keep your Doctor. If you like your insurance, you get to keep your insurance.”

You told two lies there, Obastard. My favorite lie was the one he told to Congressman Bart Stupid about writing an EO to stop the government from forcing companies with religious objections to pay for abortions. We all saw how well that worked out.

Lol!

His dreams are lies.

I’m glad I’m not him.

A man who has everything, but enjoys none of it, has nothing.

The guy can’t open his mouth without lying. Does he even know what the truth is?

For an honest appraisal of the grim situation to politicians have brought us to, watch the David Stockman interview on OpinonJournal. He was interviewed by the WSJ's Jerry Seib. It may require a subscription to watch, unfortunately.

I can’t look at his face. I can’t stand his voice. I can’t believe we have to suffer through another three years of this heartless, lying, commie, jackass.

Fantasyland. That’s where he lives. His own little world inside his head. No one else is invited.

The truth is that NO ONE in his right mind would trust Hussein as far as the corner store when it comes to the truth.

The last year that the GOP controlled both Congress and the White House, our total deficit was $167 billion. How much lower have the Democrats brought it since Obama took over?
