Obama makes pitch for budget priorities "I didn't come here to pass on our problems to the next president or the next generation...."
Congressional auditors say will Obama's budget will generate $9.3 trillion in red ink over the next decade.
Stop worrying about financial executives and start worrying about the Insane Clown Posse (a/k/a Obama, Reid, & Pelosi, and all of their sideboys and toadies). We are 9in deep, deep kimchi.

He could in fact be telling the unvarnished truth when he says he doesn't intend to pass on our problems "to the next president OR the next generation," if in fact he means that he intends to pass on our problems "to the next president AND the next generation."
Gotta watch those conjunctions.
And linking verbs. "It depends on what the meaning of 'is' is," and all that.
Got it?

Posted by: Pete Evans at March 21, 2009 5:06 PMPossibly the most thorough, systematic, unscrupulous liar in the history of American politics. As I've said before, who would have imagined that even the Democratic Party could ever produce a presidential politician who would make Bill Clinton look like an honest man?
