Why does president Obama's upcoming African trip cost 100 million?
Actually, this was an estimated amount, based on one newspaper article (Washington Post); in it, the author acknowledged that every presidential trip to another continent is expensive, and this one is no exception. And the author also noted it may not actually cost 100 million. But on the other hand, it might, and there is a good reason why presidential trips are so expensive (whether it's Mr. Obama, or his predecessors, all of whom made international trips that were equally costly).
The main reason is not political at all: no matter what political party the president is from, he generally does not make these trips alone. Presidents need to bring their staff, sometimes they bring members of congress, or family members; there are also expenses for secret service protection, logistics, and setting up communication links so that the president can be in touch at all times. All of this costs money. And factor in the mileage-- a trip to Africa will cost more than, let's say, a trip to Canada. But Americans have always understood that presidents represent our country on the international stage, and because of that, they need to travel, even if it's sometimes expensive for them to do so.

Did Barack Obama cut 2.5 trillion from the deficit?
No, not exactly; but in fairness, he did not make that claim. Here is his exact quote, from his January 2013 State of the Union address: "Over the last few years, both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion." But even there, critics have noted there is some nuance to that assertion. The "$2.5 trillion" figure is the amount of deficit reduction over a decade; Mr. Obama also claimed the government cut $1.4 trillion in 2011 alone.
The $2.5 trillion amount Mr. Obama used in the State of the Union speech is based on where the deficit stood in August 2010 and where it is now, according to CNN Money, which derived its calculations from the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. So the truth is there has in fact been some budget cutting, and some deficit reduction. But the exact figure is in doubt. Democrats insist they have cut the larger amount; Republicans say the amount of cutting has been far less. And both parties are trying to make their side seem more fiscally prudent than their opponents. That said, the short answer is the $2.5 trillion claim is probably not accurate; but it is certainly typical of claims presidents make when giving State of the Union addresses.
