President Obama Calls Out House Republican

He did a nice job. He was calm cool and collected. Check out this exchange with REP. JEB HENSARLING, R-TEXAS at the end of the 1 hour discussion that was held yesterday Jan 29th. The president stood up for his record and laid out who lead our country to a huge deficit and a great recession. I think President Obama had that beer!!
I am not the only one who thinks the President looked good and beat back the ole Republican talking points (Note please allow Windows Media Player to run)

Here is a statement by Derek Thompson from the Atlantic that sums it up:
First of all, the statement that old Republican deficits have now become monthly Democratic deficits is just plain false. Bush ran up deficits as high as $400 billion. The smallest deficit he ran in his last six years was $160 billion in 2007. Twelve-times-$160 billion makes $1.9 trillion, which is half a trillion more than our deficit in 2009, or our projected deficit in 2010.
