The deficit we experienced under Obama the last two yrs and in the next two is all his.

Not true. The 2009 budget was set in 2008, before he took office and wasn't in any way his. The 2011 budget includes an extension of the Bush tax cuts for the top bracket which he opposed; allowing it to expire would have saved close to a trillion dollars. The 2012 budget hasn't been set yet, but with Republicans in control of the House his ability to shape it will be limited.

You need to get your facts straight. So do you.
