REALLY??? Why then Obama did you spend like crazy and tells us the money would stimulate the economy. This guy flip-flops like a pancake. I don't trust him.

Except that he never flip-flopped on this issue.
His plan was to stimulate the economy to avert disaster and re-gain our traction and then deal with the debt as the economy recovered.
That is of course if you were listening to him in the first place.
Yes, that would explain why he appointed a debt commission then ignored their findings. It would also explain why he barely mentioned the debt in his State of The Union speech. It would also explain why his own budget released a month ago ignored the deficit entirely. Why is he interested in the debt now, you ask? Hardly because it was his plan all along as you suggest. It is because someone else took the lead on the issue and he felt obliged to follow suit.Except that he never flip-flopped on this issue.

Yes, that is what he meant to do. So he and Congress attempted to stimulate the economy by taking money out of the economy and putting it back into the economy in the form of pork and pet projects and taxing it as it went through. Great.

The man is not a leader, nor an agent of change. He is a defender of the status quo.

I didn't say it was the best idea or that it worked, I am just saying he did not flip flop on this issue.
Obama did succeed in getting health care passed--not exactly as he would have wanted, but passed nevertheless.

That was an enormous, and enormously necessary, accomplishment.
He appointed two Supreme Court justices which will keep some semblance of balance on the Court for years to come.
He oversaw the passage of Wall Street reform, another very necessary change.
And he has presided over an improvement in the economy and a decrease in unemployment--although neither has occurred as quickly as any of us would like.
