WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is setting a goal of lowering the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 12 years as he wades into the politically volatile debate over the nation's crushing debt.
"It's an approach that puts every kind of spending on the table, but one that protects the middle-class, our promise to seniors, and our investments in the future," said Obama in a speech at George Washington University.
The plan also proposes cuts to domestic spending and the defense budget. "We need to not only eliminate waste and improve efficiency and effectiveness, but conduct a fundamental review of America's missions, capabilities, and our role in a changing world," said Obama.

My God! Some of the comments in favor of this tool are astounding. Just blindly following.
Man, there are some totally effing clueless koolaid drinkers giving him an A.
Yeah but what idiot gives him an A or B...then why do you respond ‘not sure’?
I know it’s frustrating, but we can take some small comfort in the fact that the idiots are still in the minority.
43% F when I voted. But 0bama will just take that to mean that we are too stupid to understand him or that we felt his speech should have had more rah-rah campaign flavor to it.
I gave Barry an “F”
