I was looking at the new whitehouse.gov site and found Obama's blog, this was the most recent post.

[QUOTE] OBAMA: Of course I do, Ed, which is why we're doing everything we can to reduce that deficit. Look, if this were easy, then, you know, we would have already had it done, and the budget would have been voted on, and everybody could go home. This is hard.[QUOTE]

Really, if you were that worried about the deficit you wouldn't have doubled it in your first fucking month, on top of that, your only goal is to reduce it what it was when Bush left office. Thats a real ambitious goal there, your idiot. How do people take this man seriously. If he were that concerned about our deficit, he wouldn't have signed the stimulus bill given the sheer amount of money alloted to non-stimulative programs and pork barrel spending.

[QUOTE] And the reason it's hard is because we've accumulated a structural deficit that's going to take a long time, and we're not going to be able to do it next year or the year after or three years from now. What we have to do is bend the curve on these deficit projections. [QUOTE]

Hmmm... perhaps it would have been easier had you not spent a trillion dollars in your first month as president.

[QUOTE] Now, the alternative is to stand pat and to simply say, "We are just going to not invest in health care. We're not going to take on energy. We'll wait until the next time that gas gets to $4 a gallon."[QUOTE]

The funny thing about gas prices is they went down when we were allowed to drill off our coasts. Now the Congress and Obama want to cut back on offshore drilling again, or already have, that is how our gas prices will get back up to $4 a gallon. By not having the product to meet the demand. It's economics 101.

I'm sick of hearing Obama speak of the deficit as if he has had not part in this. In two months he has spend more money than any president in history. It's ridiculous.
