Here is a great excerpt from it:

So nervous were Obama’s stage managers that they did not realize until too late that they had made a serious mistake by having Obama go first, thus allowing the amused Cheney and his waiting audience at AEI to watch Obama’s speech and then directly critique his arguments as soon as Obama had finished. Tellingly, Cheney didn’t have to alter the text he had already prepared, because he had already correctly anticipated and written out refutations of all of Obama’s central arguments. The White House politicos had tried to set a trap, but had succeeded only in trapping their own President.

You claim: deficits DON'T matter

I disagree and always have. The point central to that claim is debt as a percentage of GDP is the vital statistic. Once it gets over 50% it is very problematic. I believe it recently stood at 83%.
