Obama promise not a logical one
Regarding the article (Oct. 13) concerning the $1.1 trillion deficit and Obama’s pledge to cut the deficit by $4 trillion in 10 years, it brings to mind a question.
Ten years from now will be 2022. By the year 2022, assuming Obama is re-elected, he will have been out of office six years, and if he is not re-elected, it is possible that we will have had two different presidents by then.
By the year 2022, the country will have gone through six congressional election cycles with the possibility that the Senate will have changed by over 21/2 times and that the House completely changed six times.
Now, how in the name of common sense can the man promise something that he will have absolutely no control over?
