TOTUS Prime Time Press Conference

TOTUS (Teleprompter of The United States) held a press conference during prime time viewing hours this evening.  Despite pre-empting the popular “American Idol” TV show, Americans were not amused.  Considering that he has previously projected trillion dollar deficits each year for the next four years, he said the deficit would be cut in half in five years!  Who is at fault for the big deficit? 

According to the TOTUS, George W. Bush.  Yeah, I know he spent money like crazy, but you and your Democrat Congress have been Bush on steroids when it comes to spending!  Get a grip man, you can’t blame Bush for four years of increasing spending.  Start making cuts now!!

Meanwhile, Tax Cheat Treasurer Tim Geithner has a plan to buy $500 billion of toxic debt (lovingly referred to as “legacy debt” by the administration).  How is that going to help bring the budget into balance you ask?  Too bad our press is too in love with the TOTUS to ask some real questions that matter.

One reporter asked a question about setting up a truth and reconciliation commission for members of the Bush administration.  I thought Desmond Tutu did a good job of that for South Africa, but was unaware of Apartheid in the United States during the last eight years.  Good to know we have the best, unbiased, free press in the world!
