I'm kind of curious how he still plans to cut the deficit in half by the end of his term with only taking it down by $17 billion this year.

I certainly agree with the Swamp's comments on Obama having no problem getting it passed. Of course he will. For one, I am a fan of the President's overall plans to cut the deficit in half by reforming healthcare, etc. But, to back up Politico, I certainly think a lot of people (including myself) are just worried about how easily this can all happen.
