    Yes, but at least the date above is the same date that the Obama administration has been giving for this action since inauguration(I can't find any reference to specifically this time prior to that). Politicians lie, but this would be a pretty dumb time for Obama to do it.

    Sure, but the speeches he was giving before his inauguration called for leaving within his first year of office.

    No more energy research, no more parks, no more public education, no more low income housing, no more roads & bridges. What a grand utopia he has planned for us.

    That will all cease to exist at our current rate anyway. With in 4 to 5 years 30% to 50% of all revenues will be going to service our debt, AND that is assuming rates will stay as low as they currently are.
