HOW?

assuming your premise that he was a fiscal conservative, obama has done nothing even close in regards to balancing a budget or reducing the deficit.

obama 'the decider bush' wants to do things on his own

Quote:
“The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that’s not how our system works. That’s not how our democracy functions,” Obama told the National Council of La Raza.
maybe he can just decide to raise the debt limit or change budgets like he decided to bomb libya. budgets, finances, and wars are mostly the congress's job (as outlined in section 8 of the constitution) not the president's who is supposed to execute their decisions.
