Obama: 'Professional Politicians' Understand Debt Crisis Better Than 'The Public'

At a White House press conference today, President Barack Obama said that "professional politicians" understand the debt crisis better than "the public."

Obama was responding to a question from CBS News Reporter Chip Reid. “The latest CBS News poll showed that only 24 percent of Americans said that you should raise the debt limit to avoid an economic catastrophe," said Reid. "There’s still 69 percent who oppose raising the debt limit. So, is it the problem that you and others have failed to convince the American people that we have a crisis here and how are you going to change that?”

One must consider a proper response to this!

I think that statement should be widely distributed.

I listened to this - he had plenty of condescension to go around for everybody. What an ass.

Well, we just elected a whole bunch of “professional politicians” to Congress last November. They seem to understand it pretty well.

Since they have trouble using Twitter correctly, I kinda doubt it.

Since the Professional Politicians created the debt crisis, then it is no surprise they understand it better than the public.

How? It would be like talking to a drunk or a mental defective.

I don't see how that could be true...most of the "Public" have had real jobs in their lives, Mr. Community Organizer.

And, of course, only reported on by professional journalists.

Professional politicans are some of the dumbest creatures ever to crawl upon the earth. They don’t understand jack.
