Obama entered just as the country was falling into its worst recession in 70 years. The deficit on terms set up by Bush prior to Obama's entering office was already $1.3 trillion. So, he has cut the deficit in half while coming out of the recession, which cut government revenues dramatically and raised automatic unemployment and other benefit payments. And we have done better since the recession than any other major Western economy. But honestly, the deficit should have been significantly greater initially in order to provide the scale of stimulus needed to come strongly out of the recession, rather than merely to turn the tide and get us mildly out of it. There would have been no real negative repercussions, because demand was so weak, speculators so unwilling to trust any other currency than the dollar, and inflation and interest rates so low, that there were zero pressures against the dollar over the last five years. So much for the high interest rates predicted by Republicans.

Not sure what you're getting at. Conservatives are more likely to be obese than liberals. Blue states=most athletic states in the nation. Red states=most religious and obese states in the nation.
