Obama and his budget cuts.

He's going to save $1.49T over 10 years from cutting "Overseas Contingency Operations" (war costs). Would the Bush budget have not also cut these costs? Of course it would. But they weren't in the budget to begin with.

Obama is, in effect, lying to the American people. He isn't saving $1.5T. He's doing precisely what Bush would have done, only Obama picked it up in the budget because he knew it was coming down anyway. What a liar.

The rest of his budget cuts are -- guess what? $637B by increasing taxes. Plus $100 Million (LOL) by buying pencils and paperclips in bulk.

These guys are so f*cking bogus it isn't even funny.
