If republicans are leaving obama to take all the blame for the bad economy then shouldn't he......?

Sorry Charley, we'll just change the subject...

The economy is not picking up and both Democrats and Republicans are to blame stop voting for major political parties!

Older - he did not add 1.3 trillion to the deficit. The deficit this year is smaller than the one he inherited.

And he never promised to halve the deficit in 3 years - he said in his first term. Current projections for the final budget of his first term (fiscal year 2013) are for a deficit of 5.5% of GDP against 10.1% in 2009.

Sure - not quite half - but if you guys are going to base your whole attack on Obama on lying about what he promised and quibbling over 4.4% then you gotta know you are in for a pretty difficult election year.

it is a slow recovery if at all. figures can be manipulated. one thing for sure is he just added 1.3 trillion to the deficit. when elected he said he would cut the deficit in half within 3 years. i didn't happen. i will not vote for him again
