Right you are, Amos...

In spite of the big dough that Boss Hog is spending to try to drown out the truth about the Obama adminsitration as "big spending and big government" the truth is that the Obma has done something that Bush was never able to do in 8 years and that is ***cut the deficit*** in Obama's first actual budget!!!

Horrors!!!

Yes, I found it interesting the way the media twisted this fact this past week... Rather than give any credit to Obama for making a start in deficit reduction they pounded on the amount of the deficit... Hmmmmm??? The media just can't bring itself to frame anything that Obama does that s positive in a positive light...

Of course, the righties will now do the same thing with posting their bloggers twisted stats saying thr deficit went up but that is the narrow view of economics... They will dance around the facts that the ***anual*** deficit for 2010 is $1.3T as opposed to the $1.4 for 2009 which was Bush's last budget...

Does that mean that I approve of runnin' a $1.3T deficit??? No, it doesn't but, like they say, the longest journery begins with a single step and for all the crybaby Repubs who delight in screaming at the top of their lungs that Obama is another "tax and spend Democtrat" I'll go one record here of calling these folks out as hypocrits before thet evey drag that poor horse outta the barn for another lap...
