Obama enrola, simula falta de memória, não fala o tamanho da dívida: são 16 trilhões até aqui.
Too scared to say '$16 trillion' on national television, the Deficit President plays dumb on the debt. Letterman: "Here’s what I found troubling at the GOP convention. They had the clock, the debt countdown clock and, I mean, this thing is moving like crazy and it’s several trillion dollars. Now, what is that?" Obama responded with a recent history of government spending. Then Letterman went back to the tally: "Now, do you remember what that number was? Was it $10 trillion?" Then came the payoff, as the president made clear that he really didn’t want to say the word '16': "I don’t remember what the number was precisely." Obama says the debt is not a problem in the short term but is a medium and long term concern. We wonder how he is defining short, medium and long term. To Obama, short term means the next 4 years if he wins re-election, and medium and long term are when it becomes someone else's problem.
