Barack Obama: “We are committed to bringing the fiscal deficit down at a pace consistent with economic recovery.”

It fortifies you to say that, yes, this has been part of the journey that we’re on.

It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.

Listen, hypocrisy is progress.

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.
