The other side of the coin is. That during Obama's first full year in office the deficit increased dramatically. Budgets are created prior to the upcoming fiscal year. That's business 101. If you are suggesting that the GAO lied about the budget numbers then you should say that.

"
By the time CBO issued its new projections on January 7, 2009 ? two weeks before Inauguration Day ? it had already put the 2009 deficit at well over $1 trillion."
Just another one to note "
the President?s proposals would reduce deficits over the 2011-2020 period by an estimated $1.3 trillion."
Whatever you think happened or was told that happened when he first came into office, I would research it again.
