(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama said on Thursday that “we got back every dime we used to rescue the financial system."

“We got back every dime we used to rescue the financial system, but we also passed a historic law to end taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailouts for good,” Obama said in Miami Thursday.

Um NO, Mr Zero. What you did was give them new loans from a different account to pay off the old loans. Now the loans are “off the books” so no one can see what you are doing.

Is that what Obama meant by redistribution of income? (From the middle class to the 1 percent ?)

But it’s true. He got back ‘every dime’

Now every dollar, ten, hundred and thousand dollar bill, that’s another matter.

“we got back every dime we used to rescue the financial system”

Hmmmm, this must have been edited . It should read “ We got back every dime we used to rescue the financial system. Except of course whatever that white devil Bush lent out”

There, I fixed it.

Tomorrow's debate will go like this...

obamao: “Mitt Romney is lying... liar... liar... liar.

Then Mitt will use hard cold facts to prove with specifics... when and how obama has lied... and the entire night will have a common theme... obama will be shown to be what he accuses Mitt of being.
