This morning BO said several notable things and presented a more emotional demeanor to the set piece portion of the news conference. The first notable thing was that to move the Debt Limit negotiations along and do what was right for the nation, he was going to "have to take heat from his own party." and that John Boehner was an honorable and noble Roman. Further he went on and said that "some have suggested that he is for bigger government as some sort of grand ideological scheme of his. That what he is really for is increasing revenues so that education and infrastructure could be funded." He then began to dissemble during the Q&A portion of the conference in which he contradicted his earlier stance about bigger government, revealing that he is for at the very least an activist government .

With regard to specific comments made by the President.

1. BO stated that 69% of American don't know how US Treasury Auctions work. That Americans are too consumed with their daily lives to know, and that is what we pay him for. In other words Mr President you are in office to take care of us? Mr President one would think that Americans should be educated about and pay attention to the function of their own government if for no other reason than to avoid being taken advantage of by charlatans. Further one would bet that the 31% of Americans that know how US Treasury auctions work are members of the Tea Party.

2. BO went on at some length about how America needs to increase revenues to fund infrastructure, schools and to help the poor in general get college grants and scholarships so that American can provide equal opportunity and remain strong. Mr President one can think of almost 15 trillion reasons why those noble sentiments of yours are realistically not fundable. That money that could have been spent on those noble enterprises has already been spent, choices were made. There are limits to everything including America Mr President One does not put a new coat of paint on a ship (invest for the future) when it is sinking. The important thing is to save the ship from sinking first and to add more debt only makes the survival of the ship to be in further doubt.

Finally Mr President while there seems to be some change in your emotional demeanor which was caused by the frustration of the Debt Limit negotiations pushing you off your intellectual perch. When one digs down into your dissembling dialog with the WH Reporters one sees that you are still a prisoner of your own ideology.
