What Makes Obama Think He Is Smarter Than Cicero?

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero - 55 BC

Does he think his popularity and past performance can refute these words? Or is 44% of the voting population that blind?

Update:

Karen, That statement was made to the Treasurer in reference to military cuts that were looming. in Feb. 2005. Total debt from 2005-2008 $1.19 Trillion. Debt to Obama 2009-2012 $5.12 Trillion. For the record, Cheney was Vice President. Check it out with Snopes.com
