President Obama

So the statement that the "deficit was alive and well" is BS.

Oh really? How about this: http://zfacts.com/p/318.html

We already had this discussion on this very board here: http://fbhw.proboards47.com/index.cgi?bo...1364#29877

Now as to a budget deficit, yes, he eliminated that BY RAISING TAXES (THE HIGHEST EVER TAX RAISE) AND CUTTING MILITARY SPENDING.

The federal deficit was alive and well. They are two different things completely.
