Obama oversaw the biggest budget cut in history.

Seriously????

Obama was squarely apposed to the idea of ANY cuts. Then ironically after being backed into a political corner, he takes credit for the cuts when all he did was cave.

Obama is a pussy.

The only part of the budget that needs cutting is the defense department

Hahaha haven't you noticed Obama is a neocoon.

Kind of. He compromises a lot.

Research the 1920's.

Maybe not $ but % of cuts were much bigger.

he was forced

The REPUBLICIANT put his FEET to the fire...and said NO...

It was NOT OBama..... Obaa ALREAD SPENT 15 Trillion dollars

2.5 Trillion on the qe2 alone on his watch....

Here is President Obama’s budget for fiscal year 2012 (and outlook through 2021). And here is a look at some of the numbers that stand out:

$3.73 trillion — total spending this year (25 percent of GDP, highest levels since World War Two).

$46 trillion — total spending over the next decade.

$8.7 trillion — total new spending over the same period.

$26.3 trillion — Total new debt, including entitlement obligations, predicted by 2021.

$7.2 trillion — Total deficit predicted by the end of the decade.

$1.1 trillion — How much the White House estimates the proposal will reduce the deficit over the next ten years.

$4 trillion — How much the president’s deficit commission recommended reducing the deficit over the next ten years to avoid financial catastrophe.

$1.6 trillion — The projected annual deficit for 2011 (11 percent of GDP), up from $1.3 trillion in 2010.

$2 trillion — Amount the budget will raise taxes on business and upper-income families over the next ten years, which includes letting the Bush-era tax rates expire in 2012 (for incomes $250,000 and up).

$50 billion — Amount the administration plans to spend this year on infrastructure and transportation “investments.”

$30 billion — Amount dedicated to a “National Infrastructure Bank to invest in projects of regional or national significance to the economy,” including the much-touted high-speed rail initiative.

$77.4 billion — Funding allocated for the Department of Education, a 22 percent increase from 2010 levels, and a 35 percent increase from 2008 levels.

$29.5 billion — Total spending on the Department of Energy, a 22 percent increase from 2008 levels.

$9.9 billion — Funding allocated for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a 30 percent increase from 2008 levels.

$150 billion — Total amount the White House plans to spend next year on research and development programs.

8.2 percent — Predicted unemployment rate in 2012.

Zero — Political risk the president was willing to assume by proposing meaningful reform to entitlement programs. That said, Republicans haven’t exactly been willing to stick their necks either, at least not yet.

No do you really think 38 BIllion is much of a saving.

Obama is a winner!

He didn't oversee shit. Oblahblah couldn't oversee a seven-eleven if he had to.

I have voters remorse! At least when we had a Republican president the Democrats in the house and senate seemed to put up little bit of a fight. Now it seems Obama gives the Republicans more than they would dare ask for and the Democrats go along without a fight. I am sick of this crap!

I almost threw up in my mouth after reading this!! But then I realized you prob meant wiener, right?

pretty amazing stuff, bet he gets no credit for it.

Kept the government running, biggest cut in history.

thank you REPUBLICIANS.. for KEEPING his FEET to the fire...

NO CREDIT for OBAMA the spend spend sped president.

Obama is a wiener. Obama is a wiener. Obama is a wiener. Obama is a wiener. Obama is a wiener. Obama is a wiener.

yeah like he was forced to use corexit in the GoM, heh STFU all you party fuckers both repubs/demos are stupid asses

Wish I could write out my budget, with an endless tap of someone else's money and then lie about where it's going.

if he was for change get rid of the fed/oil/nuke/corporations... otherwise its just dubya all over again.

Obama is too nice and good. Heartlanders and republicans want dickheads as president.

Funniest thing I've read all day.

Obama is a great republican. We need more republicans like him.
