Flashback: Obama in 2004: Deficit is "Enormous Problem"
Pundit Press ^ | 5/20/12 | Aurelius

Posted on 05/20/2012 12:45:25 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

While campaigning in 2004 for the Senate, Barack Obama was asked how he would combat the rising deficit. The interviewer asked, "What are you going to do specifically to cut it or to raise... either to stop spending or raise revenues?"

Ignoring the question completely, as he clearly had no answers, he launched into an attack on the Bush administration, saying:

"I think it is enormous problem (sic). This has been the most fiscally irresponsible administration in certainly my memory. Uh, we have gone from trillion dollar surpluses to trillion dollar deficits in the blink of an eye. Not all of those costs are the fault of the administration, obviously 9/11 occurred and the decline in the economy, but what is also true, uh, it was aided and abetted by a set of fiscal policies that I think, uh, were, uh, on... on the wrong course."

...Apparently Mr. Obama is not aware of this thing called "the internet," but people can fact-check his lies. He still hasn't learned, but with the Main Stream Media doing his dirty work, he never has had to.

Zerobama is so intellectually and morally deficient that he doesn’t know the difference between a trillion and a billion.

Somebody please educate me: When did the US have a trillion dollar surplus?

When did the US have a billion dollar surplus?

When’s the last time the US had a surplus?

Remember that this is not a flip-flop but just one more example of the Marxist in Chief EVOLVING.

He did not flip-flop on SSAD (same sex attraction disorder) marriage but he evolved.

Just what else has this creature from Kenyan primordial ooze evolved into?
