Psyche! I didn’t watch the speech, I went for a bike ride.
The AP did though and did some fact checking that Ed Morrissey notes along with some commentary of his own. Now go.
My only question……did the President ask the SuperCongress if they minded finding another 500 billion? Were they given extra time to find another 500 billion? Or was all of this thrown at them last night, during a speech and now they are stuck.
You would never want me in office, because I would say….”Ok Mr. President, we’ll happily pass all of this and give these brilliant leftie ideas one more chance.” Just to prove it. I would add in a bit where he promises to repudiate these ideas if they don’t work by say August. Like I said, don’t vote for me. I like to cut off my nose to spite my face as my mother used to say.

It was painful. I wished I were on a bike ride. Through killer bees. With a flat tire. And no water.
