Yep.
O’s SOTU speech was deliberately contrived to gull the citizenry. Obama wants Americans to believe he “just happened to drop by” the WH for a spell....and doesn’t have anything to do with the dismal state of the US economy.
========================================= Candidate Barack Obama told us on the campaign trail: “ The problem is, that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents, # 43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome so that now we have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back, $30,000 for every man woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.”
REALITY CHECK Obama presided over the biggest political heist in US history. The Obamanations (insiders and politicians) sucked up trillions under the guise of inheriting the “Bush financial crisis.”
THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD Obama COS Rahm Emanuel “suddenly” discovered he wanted to be Chicago’s mayor-—the little turn went before the mics and announced his campaign “raised $10 million in just a few weeks.” Rahm also controlled the US Treasury as COS.
What the so-called “collapse” of the banking system wrought under Obama:

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is often put at $700 billion—the size of the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.
To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see our chart at web site. Below, a guide to the pieces of the puzzle:
Treasury Department bailout programs
(Remember that Obama’s Treasury Dept was controlled by his then-COS Rahm Emanuel-—a G/S lobbyist in the WH)
Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].
Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokerages—as much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government’s potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].
TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury has made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.
Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury has bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they “will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets.”
GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion -—SNIP-—.

Let's see; just who is Krautheimer pulling for?
“If the Republicans can’t beat that in November, they should try another line of work.”
Ouch. Better put some ice on that, Republican weenies.
The 0 has lied about what he said he WOULD DO and failed at what he DID DO. He is a schmuck without a clue.
If his goals were honorable he would run from the race, BUT there isn’t an honorable cell in his body. He has the DNA of pond scum.
He is a racist, under the table terrorist.
