The Deadbeat-In-Chief
No wonder the President seems to think nothing of sticking more and more stuff and programs we can't afford on the national credit card.

From Daniel Halper at The Weekly Standard, an excerpt from the President's speech (talking about "unpaid bills" on his desk in Chicago, which he left behind after he moved to The White House following the 2008 election):

"One of the nice things about being home is actually that it's a little bit like a time capsule. Because Michelle and I and the kids, we left so quickly that there's still junk on my desk, including some unpaid bills (laughter) -- I think eventually they got paid -- but they're sort of stacked up. And messages, newspapers and all kinds of stuff."

Somebody at The White House later thought better of including that bit about his unpaid bills and scrubbed it from the transcript.
