Was Obama caught in a bold faced lie by Letterman? Even for Letterman this must have seen rather strange.that a President in title could not remember the approximate $16, 000, 000, 000, 000.00 in debt. Of course Obama couldn't even remember to say "my Christian faith" in th 2008 campaign. Obama looking comfortable in his chair----- referred to "my Muslin faith'. And, was correct by Wallace. "Asked by David Letterman on The Late Show to explain all those zeros on America’s debt clock, displayed at the Republicans’ convention, Obama replied: “I don’t remember what the number was, precisely.” Offering the president a clue, the veteran chat-show host suggested “about $10 trillion”, at which point Obama switched effortlessly to praising the budget surplus of Bill Clinton and sailed off to safety. It’s not as though America’s debt is a minor twinkle in a constellation of more serious problems. But not only was the president unable to recall the big number, he readily – perhaps deliberately – conflated the debt and the deficit."
