are feeling bad. it is one thing to claim credit when it is dubious as to whether they deserve it. when you pair it with his persnickety, put upon petulant style in which he refuses to ever claim responsibility for some of the things that went wrong. he refuses to say i m learning on-the-job. we spent 830 billion on stimulus, energy depth has 40, billion it hasn t spent. we kind of blew that. he can never say that he wants to say i authorized the osama kill mission. he wants to say i told both parties to meet me greta: dennis, he has the job. and we are in a very tough position. i understand the difficulties. what he s doing at best is telling us that come september, when gets back to the white house, after being out on the road listening to people, supposedly, and taking a vacation he s going to come out with a plan if you don t have a job tonight, september is a really longtime away.
