Good find. I also like the one where Obama calls raising the debt ceiling, “a failure of leadership.” Hypocrisy-thy-name is liberal.

Evidently he addressed that on Good morning America, April 15,2011

I think that it's important to understand the vantage point of a senator versus the vantage point of a president. When you're a senator, traditionally what's happened is, this is always a lousy vote. Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit — for the United States by a trillion dollars. As president, you start realizing, you know what, we, we can't play around with this stuff. This is the full faith and credit of the United States. And so that was just an example of a new senator making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country. And I'm the first one to acknowledge it.

Good to know that political votes are trumping what is good for the country. /s
