I think that Great Depressions should get at least a *little* slack

That (and WWII) only helps FDR.

that Obama is projecting show the first year deficit he was started with to be CUT IN HALF within three to four years.

Which probably isn't going to happen, he relies on very optimistic assumptions, and which would still leave him with deficits larger than Bush's.
