Yes, politicians do promise a lot...lol

I am still amazed how many people are fooled by their silly promises.

After inheriting a $1.3T deficit from the previous administration, equal to 9.2% of GDP, Obama is expected to promise to cut the deficit in half (to $533B) by the end of his first term.

President Bush spoke of cutting the deficit in half too. Obama just doubled the deficit. After inheriting a nearly $1 Trillion deficit Obama has heaped over $1.2 Trillion on it more than doubling the deficit.

It will be easy for him to cut in in half, all he has to do is go back to the profligate ways that were the worst thing about President Bush.
