Why I love our president

[amanda_lodden]

"If we confront this crisis without also confronting the deficits that helped cause it, we risk sinking into another crisis down the road," the president warned, promising to cut the yearly deficit in half by the end of his four-year term. "We cannot simply spend as we please and defer the consequences."

A-bloody-men. I'm reserving final judgment until we see results, of course, but it's such a relief to have a leader who actually acknowledges problems and at least pretends to want to fix them after eight years of one who essentially stuck his fingers in his ears and went "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU". Such a relief.

NPR talking heads are already tut-tutting and saying there's no way he'll be able to get everything he wants done. Cause you know, nothing's more helpful when trying to pull a country back on its feet than someone saying it'll never work. *rolls eyes*
