Before hitting the links for the umpteenth time, President Obama sat down for an interview with WAVY TV in Virginia and was asked about defense spending cuts that will take place because he and his party have refused to cut spending. Of course, he said that cuts won’t be necessary if only Republicans will agree to tax the wealthy more.

Q. So you don’t think jobs will be lost in Hampton Roads?
President: “I do not think, unless the sequester doesn’t go through, that you will see the type of economic impact that some people are talking about.”

Virginia’s unemployment is lower than the rest of the Country, but what is true we’ve got more work to do…and the choice this election is what kind of middle class do you want?” (Read More)

He went on to blame “outside groups” for his extremely negative campaign, right after bashing Mitt Romney’s business experience. One of the few honest things he said is that this campaign is about two contrasting visions for the future. What he failed to mention is that his vision is one of statism and a centrally planned economy that history has proven doesn’t work.
