Barack Obama, 2006:<\/p>\n
“Raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.”<\/p>\n
Barack Obama, 2006:<\/p>\n
“Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren.”<\/p>\n
Barack Obama, 2011:<\/p>\n
“Nobody likes to be tagged as having increased the debt limit for the United States by a trillion dollars. As president, you start realizing, you know what, we can’t play around with this stuff. This is the full faith and credit of the United States. And so that was just an example of a new senator making what is a political vote as opposed to doing what was important for the country.”<\/p>\n
I guess it all just depends upon whose ox is being gored.<\/p>\n
Barack Obama, 2011:<\/p>\n
“When I said ‘change we can believe in’ I didn’t say ‘change we can believe in tomorrow.’ Not change we can believe in next week. We knew this was going to take time because we’ve got this big, messy, tough democracy.”<\/p>\n
(Note to Obama: the United States is not a democracy, nor was it ever intended to be. The United States is a Constitutional Republic wherein the right to life and property are inalienable and therefore not subject to vote.)<\/p>\n
Barack Obama, 2011: <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my vision for America: A vision where we live within our means while still investing in our future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Barack Obama, 2009:<\/p>\n
“If I don’t fix the economy in three years, I’ll be a one term president.\u201d <\/p>\n
Barack Obama, 2011:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform….”<\/p>\n
Barack Obama, 2008:<\/p>\n
\u201cJust because you possess an individual right doesn\u2019t mean local governments can\u2019t constrain the exercise of that right.” <\/p>\n
Barack Obama, 2008: <\/p>\n
“[My grandmother] is a typical white person.”
