This has got to be the best example yet of someone either living in full-fledged denial, or committed to telling the American people that which he knows to be false. Barry "Almighty" during an interview with, that faux journalist and political retread from the days of 'Slick Willie' Clinton, George "Stefy" Stephanopoulos released Wednesday said that the U.S. doesn’t have a debt crisis, continuing the idiotic Democrat mantra. I know, I know, what we have here is a "paying for problem" or a "misallocation of wealth", anything but a debt problem. So even though we're being spent into the poor house at a record pace, we don't seem to have any kind of a spending problem. Sure we don't!
Barry's patently dishonest remarks were made in response to "Stefy" asking him about his ongoing negotiations with Republicans over entitlement reform. To which Barry responded by saying that the GOP doesn’t know what the White House has in mind. "But even the ones who’ve seen your plans say they need to see more," said little "Stefy." Barry answered by saying, "Well– I understand. Which is why, at some point, I think I take myself out of this. Right now, what I’m trying to do is create an atmosphere where Democrats and Republicans can go ahead, get together, and try to get something done," the president said, per an early transcript of the interview.
And then trying to make it sound like he's already made substantial spending cuts, Barry lied saying, "And, you know — I think what’s important to recognize is that — we’ve already cut– $2.5– $2.7 trillion out of the deficit. If the sequester stays in, you’ve got over $3.5 trillion of deficit reduction already," he added. What the Hell is he smoking? Or, drinking for that matter. He has not cut one dime from what is a very bloated federal 'budget' of his making. During his watch we've amassed nearly $17 Trillion dollars of debt or $56,000 for every man, woman and child in this country. And he can look at the American people and say that, nope, no spending problem here!
And then in bringing back memories of hearing 'Slick Willie" attempting to redefine the word 'is,' we seem to have Barry trying his best to redefine exactly what a "debt crisis" is and is not: Barry said, "And, so, we don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt. In fact, for the next ten years, it’s gonna be in a sustainable place. The question is, can we do it smarter, can we do it better? And — you know, what I’m saying to them is I am prepared to do some tough stuff. Neither side’s gonna get 100 percent. That’s what the American people are looking for. That’s what’s going to be good for jobs. That’s what’s gonna be good for growth." So, just what tough stuff is he prepared to do, exactly?
Then he goes on to say, "But ultimately, it may be that– the differences are just– too wide. It may be that ideologically, if their position is, "We can’t do any revenue," or, "We can only do revenue if we gut Medicare or gut Social Security or gut Medicaid," if that’s the position, then we’re probably not gonna be able to get a deal." And, he went on, "That won’t — that won’t create a crisis. It just means that we will have missed an opportunity. I think that opportunity is there and I’m gonna — make sure that they know that I’m prepared to — work with them. But ultimately, it may be better if some Democratic and Republican Senators work together."
You know for someone who is constantly being heralded as one of great political leaders of our time, Barry really hasn't led on squat since he was first elected. Here again he's proposing some idiotic gang of whomevers over in Congress should get together and knock something out, instead of maybe contributing a little elbow grease to the process himself. Other that his much talked about "Charm offense" he's done nothing. And apparently since we don't have a spending problem there's no real need to cut spending, only to raise taxes. But we just did that! Raising taxes cannot be seen as being the only cure-all here, as much as Democrats would like it to be. We are spending too much!!
