President Obama Says He Inherited "This" From the Previous Administration

Yup, he inherited a AAA credit rating from all three rating agencies.

[The president is on vacation. After all, it's August. And it's hot in Washington in August.]

  1. Someone wondered why Congress is not back in session. From the Washington Post, August 8, 2011, a transcript from the President's press briefing during the 600-point stock market plunge:

    This, he said, is “something we can do as soon as Congress gets back,” along with further deficit reduction. “I intend to present my own recommendations over the coming weeks,” he said.

    Over the coming weeks? As soon as Congress gets back?

    In the White House briefing room after Obama’s statement, the press corps grilled Jay Carney about the lack of fire in the belly.

    “The president said our problems are imminently solvable, and he talked about a renewed sense of urgency,” CBS’s Norah O’Donnell pointed out. “Why not call Congress back to work?”

    Carney chuckled at this suggestion.
