““What does the average person know about government finance?” the President wondered. “I’d say practically nothing.”

There, I fixed his quote.
The only thing Obozo knows is how to spend money on vacations golf, and Michele’s ice cream.

Perfect attack ad.

I can see it now:

"Obama thinks he is smarter than you: commence Obama quote. Palin thinks the American people are smart enough to know Washington shouldn't spend more than it takes in: commence Palin quote."

“President Obama dismissed the idea that a poll showing 69% of voters opposed to raising the debt ceiling ought to have any impact on policy”
That’s not dismissal, that’s denial. Like being a liar lying and believing your own lie. There is absolutely nothing true or honest about Obama. I do question his identity, faith and his humanity.

An individual must pay his debts out of his own income. The government has other options.”

Yea the government has the power to confiscate anything it wants to and call it a tax.

Wow, spoken like a true dictator. And people agree with this kind of arrogance? Imagine Bush saying such things, this is unheard of.

This is like the show Cheers with the chick getting hammered by the Italian waiter saying: “oh, it’s just their culture, it’s normal, they forget it all like that”

Culture this, people.

What does the average person know about government finance?” the President wondered. “I’d say practically nothing. An individual’s experience with debt is vastly different from what the government faces. An individual must pay his debts out of his own income. The government has other options.”

“For one, the government can tax other people’s income to pay its debts,” Obama continued. “The government can also print money to pay for stuff. Individuals can’t do that.”
...
In related news, President Obama asserted that 80% of the population wants taxes to be raised. To support this assertion the President cited a recent Gallup Poll in which 80% of the respondents indicated that they would prefer someone else’s taxes to be increased if the alternative was total economic collapse.

Apparently it's not just the "average person" who knows "practically nothing" about government finance. Raising taxes in a recession or printing more fiat currency to get out of debit are notably bad ideas.

Since Obama discounts the intelligence of the average person how can he find credence in a "a recent Gallup Poll"? Especially when "they would prefer someone else’s taxes be increased" (big surprise there!). It makes me wonder of the 80% in favor of raising someone else's taxes includes the 50% who currently pay little or no taxes...
