I have never heard a United States President pass-the-buck as often as Barry Soetoro does. I think it is a standard line in all his speeches where he repeats somewhere in the middle “…I had a huge problem when I walked in the door…”  Yes, it is true Bush left Barry a big bleepin’ bleep of a mess. But Mr. Soetoro also conveniently NEVER blames the Pelosi/Reid regime that took power in 2007 and actually created the budget mess he inherited. However, Barry knew what the problems were when he applied for the job….you should not aspire to the Presidency without having knowledge of the tasks before you.

Here is where BS’s story runs afoul of common sense:

Depending on who you get your numbers from, Bush’s last year left a budget deficit of between 400 and 500 Billion. BS’s first year left a deficit of 1.4 TRILLION. He just proposed a new budget of 1.56 TRILLION.

You don’t get to triple the budget deficit, and then blame the guy before you. I still believe the economy would and will mend itself faster without ANY stimulus, tarp, bailouts, or increased government money printing. The surest way to a recovery is the unequivocal REMOVAL of government interference.

You don’t get to triple the budget deficit, and then run in front of the cameras and talk about “freezing” spending or “taking a scalpel” to the budget. This is just more empty rhetoric for the brain-dead masses. Trimming 15 Billion out of 1.56 Trillion is like the average family cutting a penny out of their yearly electronic purchases budget. Sure, they could go on Oprah and tell her, quite truthfully, that they cut their electronics spending budget as compared to last year, while they secretly spent more on every other aspect of their budget, and while putting all that increased spending on a high-interest-rate credit card.

Barry is a slick talker, surrounded by political professionals (paid for by you and me) who do nothing but sit around all day figuring out new ways to manipulate the English language. Forget what BS says, and watch what he does. Getting tough with spending and the deficit and the Federal budget would not typically include a yearly INCREASE…only in Barryville does increasing equal reducing.
