This country has pulled itself out of recession time and time again in its history. This is the first time it has ever encountered such resistance from its own leadership.

You were a Senator! You did not realize how bad it was when u were in Illinois and had resources to figure this out, or is it because u weren't doing ur job as senator? Ahhh, somethings never "change"

Romney/Ryan 2012!!!! Change we can believe in!!

Still blaming Bush, typical liberal. News flash! Bush has been out of office for the last 3 years now, when are we gonna start putting the responsibility on Obama? The fact is Obama promised to cut the deficit in half in his first term, and not only has he not delivered, he hasn't even tried. FDR inherited a crisis too, and so did Reagan and you didn't see them whine and make excuses, they got things accomplished.

She says "February 09" as if his statement no longer matters because so much time has passed. Just another example of the media giving Obama a pass on his continued failures.

Obama and his crew want America to bottom out. They are a great danger to America.

Never let a crisis go wasted. This is what they call "managing the decline of America."  They have no interest in fixing this deficit. It allows them to further grow the gov't in times of hardship.

The complete incompetence of this administration and the Democratic leadership is an impeachable offense. Short of that, we voted Carter out, we can vote him out again!
