Always blaming someone else: Obama: GOP Main Stumbling Block to Debt Deal
Tell me if I'm wrong, but Republicans "protecting $100 billion in tax cuts for the wealthy" is laughable. That $100 billion is over 10 years, and Obama is overspending by more than $100 billion... PER MONTH! The AP caption is also absurd:
President Barack Obama says Republicans are main stumbling block to reaching an agreement after the congressional deficit reduction panel said it couldn't reach a deal to trim the national debt
There is no deal to trim the national debt. Its supposed to trim the deficit; ie - the amount of overspending. Even with the deal, the feds will continue to spend more than they take in.
