>> the deficits are coming down after spiraling upwards thanks to you and your fellow Rs which caused the Great Recession in the first place. How is this "spiraling upward?" The day Obama took office, deficits soared to 3x Bush's biggest deficit. So, yes, they're coming down -- after Obama wasted a trillion dollars on corrupt "stimulus". But that waste is on him, not Bush. You might want to take note of the fact that in 07, the year before Bush's last year, the deficit was just a tad over 10% of what Obama's first deficit was. That's no "spiral". *FY 2005 - 318B* *FY 2006 - 248B* *FY 2007 - 161B* *FY 2008 - 458B* *FY 2009 - 1,413B* *FY 2010 - 1,294B* *FY 2011 - 1,300B* *FY 2012 - 1,087B* *FY 2013 - 700-800B (EST)*

Protest Speaker to Obama: Put the Koran Down VETS, CONSERVATIVES, TEA PARTIERS RALLY AGAINST SHUTDOWN IN DC By Ruth Brown, Newser Staff Posted Oct 13, 2013 5:12 PM CDT (NEWSER) – A march against the closure of national landmarks due to the shutdown today attracted thousands of protesters from across the country, along with high-profile Tea Party speakers like Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz. But the attendee who will probably attract the most attention is Larry Klayman, the founder of conservative advocacy group Freedom Watch, who CNN reports told the crowd: I call upon all of you to wage a second American nonviolent revolution, to use civil disobedience, and to demand that this president leave town, to get up, to put the Koran down, to get up off his knees, and to figuratively come out with his hands up. The rally, billed as the "Million Vet March," tore down barricades at the World War II and Lincoln memorials. Outside the White House, several veterans held up a big "Impeach Obama" banner, while others waved Confederate flags, the Wall Street Journal reports. "This is the people's memorial," Cruz told the crowd at the WWII Memorial, per Fox News. "Simple question: Why is the federal government spending money to keep veterans out of the memorial?" A National Parks Service spokesman notes to the WSJ that although the memorial is officially closed, veterans and their families and friends have been allowed access to it all month.
