Spending's no concern to our busy president

Government spending, and the resulting deficits that worry the public so much, apparently don't worry President Obama and his administration at all.

That seems a legitimate conclusion to draw from an e-mail I just got from Jeremy Bird, an Obama aide who works with Organizing for America, a group that works nonstop to promote the president's political welfare. Bird and his colleague Mitch Stewart, who seems to think I'm an Obama supporter, write me every few days to give me "inside updates" on how things are going with the continuing Obama campaign.

Here's exactly what they said in their newest e-mail:

So they give me five choices---but spending and the deficit aren't included in those choices. So isn't it a fair conclusion that spending and the deficit aren't a big concern to the President and his team?
