That is going to be cut for a GOP attack ad: one shot of Obama saying during the campaign he was against a spending freeze and a second shot of Obama saying now as President he is seeking a spending freeze.
The political value? Priceless! O Obama, thank you for putting your foot in your mouth!

He was against the spending freeze as a candidate because he had not yet had an opportunity to spend the money. Now that he has put us in hock for many generations, he can advocate a spending freeze. We are dead broke. Actually we were the world’s largest debtor nation before Obama ever took office.
