Why does Obama believe he deserves a pat on the back for cutting the deficit?
I suppose that TECHNICALLY the US spending deficit has been cut in half (only after it was quadrupled). But how does that explain WHYour deficit was well over $1 trillion for the first 4 years Obama was in office? Keeping in mind that Democrats controlled both houses of Congress the first two years of his first term!
2009: $1.4 trillion
2010: $1.2 trillion
2011: $1.3 trillion
2012: $1.0 trillion
2013: $680 billion
2014: $483 billion
2015: $583 billion

Obama was sworn into off in January 2009. At that time you're saying the deficit was already at 1.4 trillion so is that Obama's fault or the string of presidents prior to him?

If you believe that Obama has cut the deficit, I have ocean front property in Iowa that I will sell to you for a million dollars.

The deficit was well over a trillion dollars when it was handed off to Barry, thanks to the Bush tax cuts, Medicare expansion two wars and the bailout of Wall Street. It took time to bring it down with Republicans filibustering every attempt to fix it.
