Sep 30, 2013 - Sen. Barbara Boxer Claims Obama Cut The Deficit In Half, He Rescued Us!
Dear Ms. Boxer, History is history, as you say, and your Savior Barack Obama tripled the budget deficit.
Via WFB:
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) claimed on Friday that the federal budget deficit has been cut in half under Obama.
Budget figures provided by the White House show that the deficit nearly tripled from 2008 to 2009, when Obama took office, and has remained above $1 trillion since then, though 2013 projections are slightly lower.
The country has seen higher budget deficits during every year of Obamas presidency than it did during any of his predecessors eight years in office.

Boxer made her remarks on the House floor on Friday:
If you listen to the Republicans, youd that this deficit has gone up under President Obama. President Obama inherited a $1.2 trillion deficit. Its now down its been cut in half. Its been cut in half. But if you listen to them, youd think that, oh my God, everything is awful. I just took a look at the charts. I took a look at deficits under Democratic and Republican presidents. I am so proud to be a Democrat.
I think Michael Savage describes Boxer aptly:
“She should be running a brassiere shop in the Bronx!!”
Boxer can suck the chevrons out of my shorts.
She should know. She looks like she’s been rolled through a desert full of cactus.
This is what we get for giving women the vote and letting them run for office.
She’s running out of slanderous comments. What’s next, drug dealing anal-raping pedophiles?
When you resort to name calling, it usually indicates you have no facts on your side, or you believe your opposition is in danger of revealing your true motives.
Why do we even talk to these people?
Talk about abuse Boxer you look like someone beat you with a ugly stick, bitch.
Time to give California back to Mexico since those idiots will keep reelecting such low lifes as Babs Boxer and Di ( not so)Finestein.
Well boxer... you and your DEMonic party are acting like NAZI SS TROOPS!
You mean like the people who voted for you, Babs?
By not wanting to inflict Obamacare on the public, we are hostage-taking arsonist extortionist sabotaging anarchistic terrorist racist domestic-abusing murdering bullies.
Where's the child-molester charge? We won't be happy until the child-molesting charge.
There were numerous FR posts WRT the 2012 VP debates. Victims of domestic abuse said it was too painful---they could not watch.
VP Joe Biden reminded them of their abusers' tactics----the smirking, the put-downs, the laughing when they tried to make a serious point, not listening to their concerns.
Boxer has nothing new to add to the govt shut-down---she prefers to steal conservative points.
