Obama: I Underestimated Magnitude Of The Recession Advertisements [?]
Source: Talking Points Memo
President Obama openly acknowledged underestimating the length and magnitude of the worst recession since the Great Depression in a response to a question during his Twitter town hall.
Always a tough question to answer, Obama was asked what mistakes he made in handling the economic crisis and what he would have done differently looking back on his first months in office.
Obama freely admitted that he would have tried to do a better job explaining "to the American people it was going to take a while to get out of this."
"Even I didn't realize the magnitude -- because most economists didn't realize the magnitude -- of the recession until" it was many months into his presidency, Obama said Wednesday.

Wish I'd thought to tweet this clown today, specifically:
mr president--when did you start studying economics? I know it was today or yesterday, but what time?

Right. What would he have done if he hadn't misunderstood the depth of the recession? Transfer another trillion dollars from us to his friends?

Obama on truth serum: “I deepened and sustained the recession severely. Frances Fox Piven is proud of me.”
Put him in a cardigan sweater and let him talk of malaise.

He's too stupid to misunderstand or understand anything!
The only thing he utters is what he reads from his teleprompter!

He “openly acknowledged” it isn’t his fault. He has no faults and has never made a mistake. Just ask him.

Well this will make a nice campaign ad for someone. I hope the DVR was rolling at the Palin house.

If you think he is totally incompetent with economics, you should check out his foreign policy.

You don’t want him to resign with Biden as VP. We’d be conquered within 72 hours.

Obama has also failed to understand the depths of loathing he has created in the hearts of Americans who are determined to vote his sorry *#% out of office as soon as possible.
