Obama Calls Deficit Spending Unsustainable!

President Obama was in Redneck Ron territory last week (I'm sure Ron was there to enthusiastically cheer him on!). The O'President made an amazing pronouncement, according to Bloomberg:

May 14 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries.

“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”

And in other news…

Eating too much causes obesity
Drug use causes irresponsible behavior and may lead to life on the street
Wars result in death and destruction

Does anyone else find it galling how this man can spout such statements as if he were a casual bystander making an observation on the passing scene? It chaps my hide even more that the press reports this with a straight face, never once even hinting that some of this debt just may be his fault.
