Of course they were going to say that. They've had that ready to print for awhile now.
Remind me how they reported about the debt ceiling debate in 2006, and who 'owned it' when n0bama (as a senator) said this ....
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”
I am willing to own it ... if they will just GIVE it to us and let us fix it
That’s from an Obama speech in March 2006...”words matter”.
