Obama: Republicans Left Me With The Check For A Steak Dinner
RCP ^

Posted on 06/13/2012 12:24:59 PM PDT by sunmars

At a fundraiser on Tuesday, President Obama said the debt and deficit her inherited is "baked in" structurally. "If they start trying to give you a bunch of facts and figures suggesting that it's true, what they're not telling you is they baked all this stuff into the cake," Obama advised his supporters.

"If they start trying to give you a bunch of facts and figures suggesting that it's true, what they're not telling you is they baked all this stuff into the cake," he said.

"I love listening to these guys give us lectures about debt and deficits. I inherited a trillion-dollar deficit. We had a surplus, they turned it into a deficit, built it into a structural deficit that lasts for decades, and -- isn't that something?" President Obama said at a fundraiser today.

"This notion that somehow we caused the deficits is just wrong. It's just not true. Anybody who looks at the math will tell you it's not true. If they start trying to give you a bunch of facts and figures suggesting that it's true, what they're not telling you is they baked all this stuff into the cake with those tax cuts and a prescription drug plan that they didn't pay for and the wars," he said.

"So all of this stuff is baked in, with all the interest payments for it, it's like somebody goes to the restaurant, orders a big steak dinner, martini, all that stuff and then just as you're sitting down, they leave and accuse you of running up the tab. That's what they do," he said.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out when Little Barry is off-prompter.

Let's say a large corporation, let's use Coca Cola, has a run of disappointing years. So you apply for the job as new CEO. In your interview, you say that you have all the answers, and what's more, you are the only person with all the answers. Then, three plus years into your tenure, things are still disappointing. How far do you think you would get with the board of directors if all you did was blame the previous CEO?

Listen, we are all prisoners of history. No matter what you do, what job you hold, there was always stuff that happened before. To constantly use what happened before is evidence of a small man and a piss-poor leader.

Geez, does he ever not speak in cliches? Can we, just one time, have an actual fact or figure from him?

It's just a big s*** sandwich and we're all going to have to take a bite.

There are those here that anything not representing PC words will come down on you like a ton of bricks. It’s happened to me several times. But since I didn’t know if the person who waited on that fictitious table was male or female (is it non-PC to even say that?) I opted out for waitperson.

I think he was shocked he was expected to pay for it ... he’s saying that Bush ordered the food and now he complains he has to pay for it - Bush’s fault yet again.

Leftists always project and talk about themselves. We all know that he and his grifter family and extended “friends” are moochers.

And another thing, I’m so sick of the condescension. Get a grip, lazy looter.

Decades. "Not only is it All Bush's Fault, but every stupid thing I've done, or will do, is not my fault, and it never will be."

Everybody got that?

Well, if you start ordering, then inviting your friends to the restaurant to eat, order bottles of champagne, grabbing at the waitresses and tripling the tab, then forcing the rest of the restaurant patrons to pay for it you wouldn’t be far off. And then you don’t tip because there isn’t enough money.

However, what you should have done was the minute they got up, you call the waiter and say they are skipping out on the tab.... Didn’t quite do that, eh skippy?

"Ya know? It's like, uh, it's like if I went to Man's Country up in, uh, Chicago, you know? And the most handsome young dancer came out and smiled at me? So I put down my credit card, my own money, ya see? But damn if George W. Bush doesn't get in there before I can, so I go home alone! They get all the fun and WE have to pay for it! D'ya get my analogy??"

Obama's right... Bush and the republican congress & senate DID spend a fortune, so Obama's analogy is a good one. However, extending that analogy, after the pubbies left the building, Obama and his entourage then moved the party to the bar, invited strippers, and ordered thousand dollar bottles of champagne and caviar, along with cuban cigars, to party the night away! And all on a credit card stolen from the American tax payer.

“Waitperson” shouldn’t even be a word.

I believe the accepted term is "Waitron."

that's easy...It's Bush's fault.
