Hold up a mirror
“Mr. President, pick up a mirror and look into it, because what you see will be exactly what you are so critical of—yourself—you are the problem.”
Mr. President, you need to admit you don’t know how to fix America, and what you thought would work, didn’t, isn’t working and won’t work. You were wrong, and still are. Mr. President, you need to stop going to fund raisers to reach $1 billion you can spend on your reelection campaign and do your job. You need to retire your golf clubs and roll up your sleeves and live up to some of that soaring rhetoric that got you into this job—you know, the one you have learned you were woefully underprepared to do.

Bachmann vs Stephanopoulos

"We don't estimate speeches"
Krauthammer on Obama's speech in Iowa about American manufacturing:
Well, this is another speech from Obama in another state that’ll be important next year that he’s done entirely to boost himself politically. And the reason he’s making speeches is that he’s run out of ideas on what to do about unemployment. He’s had his trillion-dollar stimulus, he’s had the bailouts, he’s had the “cash for clunkers” program, he’s had two binges of the Fed printing a lot of money. It hasn’t worked.
A few weeks ago, Paul Ryan asked the head of the CBO to score – to give the numbers for, the debt numbers for – the Obama alternate [budget] framework, which he offered in the speech [on] April 13. And Elmendorf responded immortally, “We don’t estimate speeches.”
And that’ll be the epitaph of the Obama administration. “We don’t estimate speeches,” meaning, “We don’t put numbers on, [we don't] even try to score, we don’t take seriously — speeches that are all about effect, not about substance; [speeches that are] all about generalities with no reality, economic reality, underneath; speeches that are essentially done to attack the Republicans; and, in the end, speeches intended to get Obama reelected next year so he can make more speeches on the economy in his second term.”
