The Giggling Murderer said he was optimistic about the economy. “But I would be pessimistic if I thought Congress was going to get their way — and they’re not. We’re not going to raise taxes,” he added
in a wonderfully bipartisan statement intended to unite everyone.Pressed on whether he thought there was any risk of recession, the Worst pResident Ever said: “You need to talk to economists. I think I got a B in Econ 101.”
Which lends awesome credibility and faith in his earlier statement about the fundamentals of the economy being strong. Especially considering he actually got a C- in Econ 101.[snip]
The Dunsel in Chief opened the news conference
engaging in partisan political snipingchallenging Democrats on their proposal for a $35 billion increase in a children’s health insurance program. The Texas Souffle has threatened to veto the bill.The $35 billion increase for the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, called SCHIP, would bring total spending to about $60 billion, or twice the level sought by the administration
and a fraction of the money that’s we’re pissing away in Iraq.[snip]
He also defended the decision of New York officials to deny permission to Ahmadinejad to lay a wreath at Ground Zero next week. “I can understand why they would not want somebody that’s running a country that’s a state sponsor of terror down there at the site,” the president
liedsaid, still refusing to provide a shred of evidence to back up his delusional fantasies - as usual.
