So quadruple it and then cut it in half? That’s a major accomplishment...and still and outrageously high deficit, still adding onto the massive amount of debt that was added before with the interest piling up, and up, and up and compounding.

Indeed. How curious.

You've also noticed, I'm certain, that his assorted "campaign financing", even going back to his Illinois Senate days, has been NOTHING other than highly suspect.

Well, Americans will either take back their nation or they will not. At the moment, sadly, and speaking as a professional trader for 30 years' time, I am sadly unable to place a wager.

Best to you, and FReegards!

Perhaps his last name is really “Kennedy”. Just a thought.

So by 2016 we should be right where we were in June, 2010?

Or is Baraq simply telling us that in 2013 he will just be spending 7 trillion$ a year we don't have instead of 14?

I'm sure there have been more ignorant and incompetent retards in the US, but never before playing the role of president...

“It is absolutely critical for the international community to rally behind” South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, Obama said...while hiding under his desk.

Note how dear leader assumes he’ll still be in office in 2013.

They spent 700 billion over at Treasury (includes interest the debt) in 09 and only have 500 billion budgeted for '10?

With a debt that increased from 9 trillion to 13 trillion?

Why aren't these communist bastards being locked up?

In 2015 the national debt is estimated to exceed 100% of GDP, up from a low of 30% in 1980.

Debt has only exceeded GDP once before, and that was in WWII when REAL GDP was way lower.

These communists are robbing us blind without facing any consequences.

Obama and Pelosi are arch criminals.

In 2012 it will exceed 100% , not 2015.

"Obama also said a lot of other stuff: "

Aside from this....I will soon produce a cure for cancer, publish the Unified Theory, and dismiss all worries and wants from everyday life.....after my re-election in 2012.

I would attend the inauguration, but I'm busy dining on $100/lb beef. I'll send my suit instead to read from the teleprompter....

Ohaha is just "blowing to the galleries" as usual.

The former community organizer/senator is CLUELESS about how to play the role of POTUS.

Weak & Weaker.

Maybe he should start by cutting his party budget.

How can they reduce the amount they pay in interest on the debt? Isn't that automatic?
