Back in 2006, Dems said they were the only ones holding the line on Bush’s irresponsible spending.
Now they’re the Party of the Recently Wised Up, Newly Humble and Superlatively Brave!
From Obama’s April 14, 2011 interview with George Stephanopoulos [plus my snarky commentary in red]:
GS: You’ve got to extend the debt limit by May. It seems you made your job a lot tougher because of your vote in the Senate against extending the debt limit. When did you realize that vote was a mistake?
BHO: I think that it’s important to understand the vantage point of a Senator versus the vantage point of a President. … As President, you start realizing, “You know what? We can’t play around with this stuff. This is the full faith in credit of the United States.”
Sooooooo … the People of Illinois elected a dumb, self-centered boy-child to one of the highest offices in the land? Golly. Aren’t we LUCKY that he didn’t stay stuck in that stuffy, vantage-point-limiting job of United States Senator, but became PRESIDENT, so he could finally see The Big Picture and get all smart about this Really Important Economy Stuff?
BHO: And so that was just a example of a new Senator, you know, making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country. And I’m the first one to acknowledge it.
Sooooooo … 5 years ago (and 20 minutes before he decided he was ready to hold the Most Powerful Office on the Planet), he was nothing more than a self-centered, wet-behind-the-ears, iggerant freshman Senator. NOW, of course, what with all his vantage point experience Running the World these past two years, he’s become not only Smarter Than God, but also Humble. Golly.
BHO: Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit for the United States by a trillion dollars. … The burden is going to fall a lot on Democrats in the Senate to make this happen.
Soooooo … yeah. When Republicans were in the majority, Democrats played politics rather than lead. We knew that. BUT it just gives me GOOSE BUMPS ALL OVER to know that now, by GUM, they’re all wiser and better and Ready to Lead … no doubt because there’s a Spiritually Enlightened Being in the White House and the oceans are slowing their rise and America is finally the Kinder, Gentler Nation (never mind that third war). Should we cue some stirring music now?

Could it be because for 8 long years they refused to give Bush credit for ANYTHING???
53 straight months of job growth and unemployment hovering around 4.5% was called a ‘jobless recovery.’
Evry one of them voted to give W the authority to go into Iraq then did a 180 when it took more than a week to win the war.
The deficit was 180 billion in 2005,the last year republicans controlled the House and Senate.Then the professional spenders took over and ballooned it to 1.5 trillion in 2 years.They went on a feeding frenzy when they got everything in 2008.
AND BOZO IS STILL BLAMING BUSH!!!!
