Guys, really. There was NO talk of any spending cuts from Obama or any other Dem until the GOP got control of the House.
During the 2008 campaign, Obama was asked about McCain's promise to "balance the budget before the end of my second term" and Obama merely laughed and quipped, "that's not practical."
He is trying to paint himself as a spendthrift, a deficit hawk, and you're swallowing it hook, line and sinker. Forgetting conveniently that for two years with a supermajority Congress, he could have done anything he wanted. Curbing spending was NOT on the agenda.
Let's call it like it is.
What will you say if I pull old video of him talking cuts?
Are you going to admit you were wrong about that point, or are you going to play it off with the next point?
I'm not saying the behavior and the words are matching up, but to say that he's never mentioned cuts is outright false so.....no sense in saying what's false publically.
Of course they won't admit being wrong. They'll either
a) ignore what you post
b) try to discredit the source
c) move the goal posts and change the context of the debate
