>Obama didn't cut anything.
Look at the number of federal employees, in the right column (in millions). It went down from 2009 to 2011.
2006| 2,637 | 1,432 | 63 | 4,133 | 2007| 2,636 | 1,427 | 63 | 4,127 | 2008| 2,692 | 1,450 | 64 | 4,206 | 2009| 2,774 | 1,591 | 66 | 4,430 | 2010 4| 2,776 | 1,602 | 64 | 4,443 | 2011| 2,756 | 1,583 | 64 | 4,403

The public sector is the only sector in which employment has not gone up under Obama. In fact, if it had tracked private employment (granted, I'm including local and state governments as well), unemployment would be a full percentage point lower than today. And I want it to be. But that wasn't his priority.
>Tax revenues increased only as a result of the recession ending.
Yes, they did increase as a result of the recession ending. But not "only." Some tax rates were raised.

Of course, you would give Obama credit for anything, just like Ted would, LOL ...
Bullshit. Total bullshit. I've given him blame for many things -- see above in this very post. It's you that won't give him credit for anything. Rule #1.
