Обама - тебя я проклинаю. Не сдержал обещание сократить дефицит. Не уложился в нужную цифру.

"Today I'm pledging to cut the deficit we inherited by half by the end of my first term in office," Obama said.
In 2009, the year Obama took office, the annual deficit was $1.4 trillion. (Generally speaking, the
deficit is the amount the government takes in minus what it spends.)
The White House’s budget projections show a deficit of $901 billion in 2013, also short of Obama’s goal, even if his policies are enacted by Congress, which is by no means certain.

обманув избирателей на $200 миллиардов долларов. ОК! Обманул.
Обама, кстати, признал свою ошибку. Здесь его пояснения:
He said he wasn’t able to keep the promise because the economic downturn was much more severe than was commonly understood in 2009.

Everybody who is out there back in 2009, if you look back at what their estimates were in terms of how many jobs had been lost, how bad the economy had contracted when I took office, everybody underestimated it. People thought that the economy contracted 3 percent. It turns out it contracted close to 9 percent. …
