It's the same excuse that Clinton used when he reneged on his campaign promised tax cuts.

“HE COULDN’T CUT THE DEFICIT IN HALF....

..because he’s a lying socialist that intended to hand us over to the GLOBALISTS all along....and he could then be King Obama, Saviour to the Globe.

China needs our minerals, oil, natural gas and farmlands. ‘Nuff said.

If that is the case, he might not have even seen a single day in the legislature.

That rule needs to be rescinded, asap.

“circular reasoning” (from Obama)

Nothing surprising here.
The community organizer and his cabana boys been telling us for over three years that the reason we haven’t been able to jump-start the economy by throwing money at it is ... because we simply haven’t thrown enough money at it.
You can only milk that argument for about four years.

“I COULDN’T CUT THE DEFICIT IN HALF BECAUSE THE RECESSION WAS DEEPER “

Everyone, please note the word “DEFICIT” used AGAIN (just like before implementing Arbeitsziehungslager) and not the SIZE of the 15 trillion dollar government.

IN FACT, if there were no DEPRESSION (that they are attempting to call a “recession”), they would have INCREASED the 15 trillion dollar government to above and beyond.

The scariest thing I know is that there are STILL people in this country who think Obama is a a natural born citizen, that he is very brilliant, that he is a great leader come to solve the problems of America and he is doing a great job, that everything would be wonderful if the evil Republicans would just go along with Obama, that evil capitalists created the housing crash by forcing poor people to borrow money they could not pay back and they did this out of greed. Once you realize that these people exist AND THEY VOTE, how do you keep from crawling UNDER the bed and curling up in a fetal position sucking your thumb? I avoid doing THAT by sitting on the floor in a corner, rocking back and forth and moaning while sucking on a bottle of bourbon. Well yes, I am acting like a crazy alcoholic but I need the bourbon to kill the pain of sitting on the floor with my legs crossed, at my age it hurts!

Every time he says something like this, I wish someone would call him on it and tell him that he is likely the most unprepared President ever. Everything that happens to this team was “worse that we thought it was”.

It was deeper than he thought because he made it deeper.

The light at the end of the tunnel is from the moving van taking him back to Kenya.

Maybe I'm confused, but I could swear Obama was a U.S. Senator for two years before he won the Presidency, right?

In fact, he was a Senator in the Party that controlled the Senate, right?

Is there one “Journalist” that will bring up Obama’s LAST Government job? Right.......

Claiming that he was so wrong about the dimensions of the recession back then does not do much to increase one’s confidence that he’s correct about anything now......

This is a funny new excuse. How many times during the campaign did the littlest dictator proclaim the economy “the worst economy since the great depression?” 100? 500? 1,000? Was the silly little man not listening to himself?

This putz ran for President Claiming that George Bush Ran the Country into a Ditch.He proclaimed at a Town hall Meeting that what Bush was Doing was Irresponsible,putting our Grand Children in Debt to China by increasing our debt,this has to be stopped. So what did HE do? He has out spent and increased the debt more in 3 years than Bush did in 8 years! Then he has the Balls to stand up in front of the American People and say it was worse than he thought and not ONE question on When Mr. President did you realize it was worse than you thought? Before or after you have added another 5 TRIILION DOLLARS of debt? So Mr. President did George Bush drive us into a Ditch by spending too much money or not enough? Please explain so we can figure out what it is you are trying to do,Fix the economy by Bankrupting the Country,or save it by Bankrupting the Country,and oh yeah what was it again that Bush did,drive us into a Ditch?
