I am all for supporting your candidate....But really? Everyone knows his policies have either kept the deficit the same or raised it....Especially with the second stimulus. I guess no matter what, some will stick by their guy... lol....

If Obama had kept the Bush budget intact how it was before, the deficit would've been 9 trillion dollars instead of 7 trillion. Yes, I know, everyone's hankering to make a smart ass comment about 7 trilling vs. 9 trillion, but it is cut. And it's a long-term plan. I know that Americans aren't into that whole "long-term" thing. We want action and we want it now!
