Why did everyone applaud when Obama said "the debt we inherited"?

That's how he trys to draw attention away from himself! He should look inherited up in the dictionary! No one died and left this to him, he ran for the office of the President,(and unfortunately won), he knew what he was getting! He needs to learn to take responsibility! Oh, but why should he, when he telling America they don't need to take responsibility, by bailing them out!

Even if you negate the fact that Obama was part of the congress that created the "debt he inherited", you have to acknowledge that in one month he has exploded that debt to unprecedented levels. Are any of us applauding that? Our children will be crying when they look back and realize that we sold their futures for our own self-centered desires. Where is the fiscal responsibility we were promised? This really is the "me" generation...shameful!

It puts the responsibility on some else's shoulders. If the stimulus package fails, they will do the same. I would have more positive feelings about this man if he said, we inherited some problems, but this is my presidency, and from the day I took office it became my responsibility. After all, he knew the problems when he ran, he wanted the office, now it's time to own it. Thanks

Doesn't matter because President Obama is referring to what he walked in on when he because president. It doesn't matter who left the debt because it's there regardless who gets the blame.

Just more petty politics! Just trying to push the blame on the prior administration. It just buys Barry and the Dems more time in implement their radical agenda!

So you are saying the Democratic congress was behind the Iraq war the whole time, it wasn't bush.

that war is where most of the debt came from

Brainwashing is not a dead art.

they all drank the kool-aid!!!
