There is a great article out that summarizes the Obama lies about the economy at: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Budget/bg2249.cfm

 

During his presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised the American people a "net spending cut." Instead, he signed a "stimulus" bill that spends $800 billion, and he has proposed a budget that would:

 

1.     Increase spending by $1 trillion over the next decade;

2.     Include an additional $250 billion placeholder for another financial bailout;

3.     Likely lead to a 12 percent increase in discretion­ary spending;

4.     Permanently expand the federal government by nearly 3 percent of gross domestic product ( GDP ) over pre-recession levels;

5.     Raise taxes on all Americans by $1.4 trillion over the next decade;

6.     Raise taxes for 3.2 million taxpayers by an average of $300,000 over the next decade;

7.     Call for a pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) law despite offering a budget that would violate it by $3.4 trillion;

8.     Assume a rosy economic scenario that few economists anticipate;

9.     Leave permanent deficits averaging $600 billion even after the economy recovers; and

10. Double the publicly held national debt to over $15 trillion ($12.5 trillion after inflation).

 

There are a lot more details in the original.  Put away the sharp objects before reading it.

craig has hit on this point several times.
 
we have an uneducated electorate, who are apparently incapable of adding 1trillion plus 1trillion.
 
"We" as a people bought into his pipe dreams, and WE are all now paying for it.
