Call this the laugh of the day from Politico:
President Barack Obama plans to announce in next year's State of the Union address that he wants to focus extensively on cutting the federal deficit in 2010 – and will downplay other new domestic spending beyond jobs programs, according to top aides involved in the planning.
The president's plan, which the officials said was under discussion before this month’s Democratic election setbacks, represents both a practical and a political calculation by this White House.
Is Obama so stupid as to think that a few tough words on cutting spending will erase the fact that he and the Democrats ran amok with a buck wild spending spree? Sorry Charlie, that ain’t gonna fly with hardly anyone. Unless Obama can find a way to cut hundreds of billions, if not trillions, out of the deficit before 2010, much of the Democrats will be gonners.
We should also take this as a tip off that the Democrat DID receive the message on election night.
