They didn't admit that their policies aren't working as well as they expected. They "admitted" that the problems they inherited are worse than they thought, and so their brilliant policies are having trouble cleaning it all up. You find it refreshing that politicians pass the buck onto someone else? I know of course our current problems are not all, or even mostly, Obama's fault. But its also painfully clear at this point that stimulus dollars are not getting out fast enough--a criticism that had been made by Republicans from the start. Obama is now claiming that the stimulus was just about saving the jobs of policemen and firefighters, not about stimulating private enterprise. Yes, and the Iraq war was about freeing the Iraqis of Saddam, not weapons of mass destruction. I've seen this bait-and-switch before. Let's stop pretending Obama is above politics-as-usual.
