Appearing on NBCs “Meet the Press” on Sunday, President Barack Obama said that he cut spending by more than $1 trillion in 2011. However, the White House Office of Management and Budget says that federal spending increased by $147 billion from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011.(snip) In fiscal 2011, according to the White House Office of Management and Budget, the federal deficit was $1,299,595,000,000. That was up from a deficit of $1,293,489,000,000 in fiscal 2010. Source name spelled out in full

I always thought that Clinton was the biggest liar to ever occupy the White House. Compared to Obama, Clinton is an honest man. And what is so frightning is that the press works overtime to enable the lies.

of course he lied, but since he did it on "Meet the Press" it is true!!
He said it on a national program, and he wouldn´t lie on something so easily verified, would he?

If he did cut spending by 1 trillion dollars, then why are we at the edge of a fiscal cliff?

Btw. Jan 1 Obama´ s 1 trillion in new taxes goes into place. Maybe he doesnt know the difference? Too much choom on the back nine.

And most of the media will gleefully advance this crap as "truth"....
Like all the money we HAD to spend via the so-called "peace dividend" during Bubba´s regime.
Or the notion that if we keep spending at current levels, that we actually made a cut in the growth of government by not taking the full raise due through "base line budgeting".
It is so sad that only a few tens of thousand people in four states caused this.

If the Federal Government spent $3.6 trillion in 2011 and Zippy saved a trillion, then the original plan must have been to spend $4.6 trillion. Did Gregory push him into a corner over these numbers. Betting is that the $4.6 trillion was probably the Kenyan´s DoA budget. As that didn´t get approved and spent he is claiming credit for it. This is totally bizarre.

That imaginary deal that was spread over 10 years and would amount to a tiny $100 billion each year which is about a rounding error for the massive deficit spending under the Obamination administration?
And yet the deficit increased by over $1 trillion each of the last 4 years.

Obama sure lies alot. He will keep repeating that lie, until the country goes bankrupt. The left rails against the 1%. Wait until the country and all its wealth is control by 1/1000th of that 1%.
Regretably Obama is a reflection of the American electorate.

The Washington just initiated a new standard of their famous 1-4 Pinochio Noses for truth telling. There will still be the 1-4, but a new standard of the "Obama Nose" for the whoppers that Obama tells. One Obama nose equals just 5 Pinochio noses.
The lastest whopper of "I cut 1 trillion in 2011" merits a seven Obama Nose. Congrats to Obama for his new designation.

After months of demands from Republicans in Congress, the White House has released emails related to what the administration said in the days after the terrorist attack in Benghazi. The emails confirm the ABC News report that the so-called "talking points" written by the CIA on the attack underwent extensive revisions – 12 versions – and that substantial changes were made after the State Department expressed concerns.

The biggest story on global financial markets today is the collapse of gold and silver prices. Gold is down more than $90 an ounce since Friday – a fall of about 7 percent. The price drop comes on top of last week’s 4.7 percent tumble. Silver prices tumbled 8 percent, or $24 an ounce. Copper is also falling. The reasons for the plunge are linked to the recent rise in the stock market, the slow, steady improvement of the US economy and the recent strength of the dollar.(snip) Last week Goldman Sachs issued a report, predicting gold prices would tumble. More volatility is expected in the days to come.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
