Say what? Of course the deficit is a bipartisan adventure to some extent, but this country never saw anything near a $Trillion deficit until President Obama took office. He has presided over 4 straight years of $Trillion+ deficits, the smallest of which was over twice the size of the largest deficit in the preceding 8 years (During Obama's first term average monthly federal spending was 30% higher than the prior 4 years). And, Obama is the first Preesident in history who newver had a Budget during their first term (the one "budget" he proposed was voted down 97-0 by the Senate he controlled at the time).

Bottom line: We amassed more new debt in 4 years under Obama than was added to the federal debt over the prior 8 years.

I am not a fan of the sequester, but the President has shown no leadership, and if he won't discuss spending cuts then maybe he should get the Sequester he put in place and has repeatedly claimed he will not let go, that is until his recent complete 180 degree turn on his sequester.
