When asked about fiscal discipline and entitlements reform in St. Louis today, Obama said "Those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular, and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we are going to stabilize Social Security.” “But,” Obama continued, “let's not play games and pretend that the reason [for the deficit] is because of the Recovery Act."
Ouch! I guess our savior doesn't like seeing hundreds of thousands of Americans finally stand up to let our voices be heard.
Does he think that we didn't know there was already a deficit? Everyone knows that. What we were standing up for was his crazy spending that is going to quadruple the deficit in a few years at the rate he's going. And BTW Obama, I would love to hear how you are going to cut health care costs and stabilize Social Security. Because I really haven't heard anything that gives me any hope whatsoever that you are going to do either of those things.
