As political pundits delve into Obama's poor
debate performance, not as much attention is being bestowed upon what he
actually said Wednesday evening. The President repeated his thoroughly debunked
deficit reduction claims, claims even his own budget plan proves to be false.
Hear what he said:

Own Budget Proves His Deficit
Reduction Claims Wrong”. [Click

Accuracy: At one point in Wednesday night's debate President Obama boasted
about his "balanced" plan to cut the projected 10-year deficit by $4
trillion. One problem: His own budget exposes this claim as flat-out false.

Interestingly, the link [http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/budget/fy2013/assets%20/budget.pdf], provided in the IBD article to Obama’s budget plan at has been taken down. Gee … I wonder why? No matter, I found it here.

Review the President’s own
budget document. For
those who don’t want to wade through pages of numbers, I’ve provided a highlighted page[206] from Obama’s own budget that clearly refutes his false claim about what he's doing for reduction of the deficit from the
first 2012 presidential debate.
Those who
want an unbiased review of his budget complete with graphical charts can be viewed
at A
Congressional Budget Office Analysis of the President’s 2013 Budget.
Now … I don’t know about you, but in my view a
$1.98 trillion deficit reduction is more than a little short of the $4 trillion
claim made by Obama.
It’s just one more proof that he will say
anything he thinks will get him re-elected.
Just whose interest is he looking out for? Certainly not American citizens.
