Sorry, but just in case you didn’t read What Obama said and what he meant, I felt the need to spread the misery. Isn’t that our new national motto?
ON HIS BUDGET:
What he said: “At the end of the day, the best way to bring our deficit down in the long run is not with a budget that continues the very same policies that have led us to narrow prosperity and massive debt. It’s with a budget that leads to broad economic growth by moving from an era of borrow-and-spend to one where we save and invest.”
What he meant: There is no way I am going to lose the language wars in a budget battle. My budget may borrow more and spend more than any in history. But I am going to frame this plan with appeals that emphasize sobriety and responsibility. That may be a bit brazen, but no more so than Republicans who rubber-stamped huge deficits under Bush.
What I took away from the whole thing is that what he really meant is “I won. I’m God. I will get what I want.”
He doesn’t care that most of the people voting for him had no clue what they were voting for. Even ivy league educated so-called conservatives we clueless, so how were people who don’t follow politics supposed to know what his intentions were?
