difference is that Obama promised to cut the deficit by the end of his term....

Bush just continued spending and spending... taking us from 5 trillion US debt to 10 trillion.... in 8 years....

I suspect Obama will balance the budget and cut the deficit towards the end of his first term...

blast Obama all you want. 40% of the earmarks were republican...so please dont tell me that the republicans are the solution to the problem.... last 8 years proved that...
