Comments on: Yes, Mr President, we do have a spending problem, a huge spending problem, and you are the reason why. http://www.journal14.com/2013/01/15/yes-mr-president-we-do-have-a-spending-problem-a-huge-spending-problem-and-you-are-the-reason-why/ President Obama’s real problem was that he ran his mouth, and issued an empty threat. Now, actually doing the right thing in Syria looks like weakness, and the President’s word cannot be either trusted or even taken seriously.

How are we supposed to believe anything the President says in regards to cutting spending, when he has made it very clear he does not believe we have a problem in the first place? Any conversation or debate we have with him over this issues has to be reconciled with that one single fact.

What stunned House Speaker John Boehner more than anything else during his prolonged closed-door budget negotiations with Barack Obama was this revelation: “At one point several weeks ago,” Mr. Boehner says, “the president said to me, ‘We don’t have a spending problem.’”

How are we supposed to believe anything the President says in regards to cutting spending, when he has made it very clear he does not believe we have a problem in the first place? Any conversation or debate we have with him over this issues has to be reconciled with that one single fact.
