Bill Cosby compares Obama to Sisyphus rolling rock up the hill
The Hill ^ | April 12, 2012 | Geneva Sands

Famed actor and comedian Bill Cosby on Thursday said people who are critical of President Obama are "acting like they have no idea what he inherited" at the White House.

Cosby compared the first four years of Obama's presidency to the Greek myth of Sisyphus, the king condemned to an eternity of rolling a rock up a hill only to have it fall back down to the bottom.

"I see Obama as Sisyphus in the first four years. And nobody would speak about the size of the rock, or the elevation of the hill. All you hear people talk about is what he didn’t do," said Cosby on MSNBC's online show "Press Pass" with David Gregory.

"He tried to bring us together. Even to argue with radio hosts, and people who have nothing to do with anything; it’s important that this man has had to fight similar battles of a black person in a position in America. Hundreds of thousands and millions of people still behind him, but people who are very quietly acting like they have no idea what he inherited. It’s as if he had the surplus, when he moved into office," he added.

*The fact that today the government spends 4.1 billion a day compared to Bush and the Republicans, 1.5 billion, this higher spending level belongs to you.

This should read the daily budget deficit, not daily spending.
