The United States' climbing national debt could drag the country into a "double-dip recession," President Obama warned in an interview with Fox News Wednesday from China, though he said he's still considering additional tax incentives for businesses to reverse the rising unemployment rate. The president, who is in Beijing as part of his tour through several Asian countries to address economic challenges, spoke candidly about the precarious balancing act his administration is trying to perform.

It occurred to me that this is why so many of our jobs have gone to China. Because, China is backing our debt, so we need to make sure that China has all the money we can, to keep the US afloat.

They’re running scared. They wouldn’t even use the phrase “double dip recession” if the economy wasn’t a helluva lot worse off than what they’re saying.

You know, we just keep hearing the same old, same old from President Crapshoveler over and over and over. Lies, lies and more lies. He makes Bubba Clinton look like an altar boy. It really does get to be too much some days.

My optimism level is very low this morning.

There is no double dip to it. Obamao and his goofy goons of blundernomics have created a downhill slide they can’t control.

This is just prepping the country for more blame of Bush. “Because of Bush’s failed economy, we needed to do the stimulus, which caused us to add greatly to the debt, which will in turn cause the second dip of the recession, so its all Bush’s fault if the recession lasts years longer”

He added to the debt more than any other President in history and yet he is talking about it like an innocent by stander blaming everyone else for it and saying that he is our savior who is going fix it. Simply incredible.

There are two sides to the deficit/ debt equation. Trouble is, Commie Libs like Zer0 want to

RAISE TAXES,

not

CUT SPENDING

to make their phony “effort” to fix the problem.
