The question is where Obama's going to take it.

That only deals with federal deficits not state deficits, or total spending on any level. Also using the chart at your link for the time frames of the large increases in the federal deficits see what party is more responsible for them in terms of having control of congress. A majority of the years with large deficits where with Democratic congresses. And the time only surpluses since 1980 where with Republican control of congress. Beyond that both our biggest deficits ever, and our biggest post WWII deficits (by far) will be with a Democratic congress and president (FDR and Obama being the presidents).
