The President says that the Bush Administration overspent. His solution? Spend more money faster. Obama even went so far as to say that FDR's problem was that he didn't spend money fast enough. Then he has the gall to think we're idiots by saying he'll cut the deficit he created by 10%. We still owe 90% more in the end.
On tax day, he defended himself. Cuts amount to $100 million from $10 trillion which is really just a drop in the bucket. He touts his tax refund. Refunds amount to a measely $1/day. Don't spend it all in one place.
My Probability and Statistics teacher really liked my project. He didn't like that it was groundbreakingly insightful. He liked that we, unlike other groups, admitted that our data wasn't statistically relevant to prove our hypothesis. That's what the president and his drones refuse to admit- what he's doing is statistically irrelevant.

The heritage foundation displays this in great context with a nice graph.
Most of what Obama does and says constitutes nothing more than empty gestures. Government officials dont' really have any perspective on this. I remember during the 1991 Iraq war an official saying "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon it adds up to real money." Yet, Americans get hyped up because 100 sounds larger than 10, so they think it's a lot, forgetting the orders of magnitude inbetween. And million is about 1/1000th of a trillion, so even though it might not be chump change to you, it is to them.
Rush asked why he would want a man who is worth less than he is to manage his portfolio. Why do we trust people who have never built a commercial empire in their life with the commerce of the nation entire? Don't let it happen again.

This comparison reminded me of http://xkcd.com/558/ with the media messing with the perceived difference to make it all seem not so bad.
In Obama's defence, at least he's trying to reduce what we owe(that he spent for us) by 10% instead of leaving it as-is or let it get worse... well time will tell with that too I suppose
