They Said It!


Liberal Economist Jeffrey Sachs Says Obama Never Had A Plan, Concedes $831 Billion Stimulus Didnt Work
______________________________________________________________________

Click To Watch Jeffrey Sachs: So were almost three years into this administration and theres never been a plan and thats what everybody feels. The president didnt lead. He waited. The quintessential image sadly of the administration that I supported and hoped for much better is the president waiting by the phone to hear what Congress calls to tell him. It doesnt work in this country that way, its not a matter that its August, its a matter that its August 2011. So weve been drifting for a very long time and weve been drifting down now. And we had a short term plan that failed. A short term stimulus that was supposed to get the economy back on track but it failed. And now we have nothing behind it. And we have no agreements and no leadership and frankly, I do think its pretty odd the presidents on vacation right now. Normally, I wouldnt care about such things, but the world markets are in deep crisis. Its no joke, this isnt just an August up and down little blip, this is a very serious situation.
