Obama wants credit for cleaning up ‘big mess’
The Washington Times ^ | 6/13/11 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 06/14/2011 12:27:50 PM PDT by Rudder

President Obama told supporters at a fundraiser in Miami on Monday night that he deserves credit for cleaning up the mess he inherited.

“My job over these first two years has frankly been to clean up a big mess,” Mr. Obama said at a $10,000-per-ticket event at a gated mansion in Miami Beach. “We were able to make sure we yanked an economy out of what could have been a second Great Depression.”

“We stabilized the financial system,” the president said. “We made sure that we ended one war and started putting another war on a path where we could start bring more troops home. We restored a sense around the world of what American values and ideals were all about. We had to address an auto industry that was on the verge of liquidation. We had to get the economy moving again and we had to get jobs created again.”

“I didn’t run for president just to be president,” Mr. Obama said. “It was never about me. It was about us.”

The Ego-maniacal twerp wants credit for what he's done.

Let's make sure he gets what he deserves...

If that statement isn’t a political cartoon begging to be drawn I don’t know what is.

Does anyone with more than three neurons firing in proper order buy this? Seriously, his pants should burst into flames while reading those words from the teleprompter

At some point, he is going to start talking about all of the resources being mined at our colony on Mars. And people will buy it.

“If that statement isn’t a political cartoon begging to be drawn I don’t know what is.”

Too bad the GOP doesn’t have a creative PR person who can capitalize on yet another idiotic statement by the POTUS.

It’s not like the guy reversed anything that was done under Bush.
Good job Barry, you’re still letting Fannie be Fannie! You borrowed some money and threw it in the system! WOW!! /sarc.

Don’t mix your metaphors, Barry.

I know you only have one basic fund raising speech, but don’t mix your metaphors.

So which is it? George Bush drove the economy into a ditch, and you’re towing it out?

Or George Bush left a real mess, and you’re mopping it up? That was last year’s campaign speech, at every whistle stop.

You’d better have a talk with your Teleprompters.
