Really? I sat there in stunned disbelief as I read the following quote...
" If President Obama knew then what he knows now, he would not have voted against raising the debt limit in 2006. " , according to his current Press Secretary.
So, Mr. President, you would like us to take solace in the notion that five years ago you were an incompetent boob, a robotic partisan hack who claimed falsely at the time to be taking a principled stand...., and that becoming President has made you into a brilliant economist who understands the dire nuances and grave consequences associated with our nation's debt... and there is NOW nothing at all partisan or hack-like in your whining and fear mongering over the debt ceiling? How exactly do we know that you still are not that same incompetent partisan-hack boob of five years ago? You've not presented any evidence of a change in economic philosophy or moral compass. If this wasn't so sad it would be hilarious. So, Mr. President, you are telling us that when the throngs of the nation's electorate voted you into office, you were an ignorant mouthpiece who had no knowledge of how the country's economy functions? This would seem to be the admission. Well, I've heard it said that confession is good for the soul. And now, we are supposed to follow YOUR lead? That would make the rest of us out to be fools too.
