Obama Claims His General Rule Is To Do Something Else If Something Is Not Working
_____________________________________________________________________
Today, Obama Said On Deficits “My General Rule Is, If I Do Something, And It Doesn’t Work, And Then I Do It Again And It Doesn’t Work Again, I Stop Doing It. I Stop Doing It. I Try Something Else.” OBAMA:”And by the way, the deficits kept on going up, so by the time I walked in to office we had a trillion dollar deficit. Why would we want to try that again? I don’t know about you but my general rule is, if I do something, and it doesn’t work, and then I do it again and it doesn’t work again, I stop doing it. I stop doing it. I try something else.” (President Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Oskaloosa, IA, 8/14/12)
YET OBAMA HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ELSE BUT RACK UP TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICITS FOUR YEARS IN A ROW
