Well, what else would you expect him to say?
President Obama gave a live radio interview today to Michael Smerconish, who asked if Democrats shouldn't just own up to the policies the party instituted instead of running away from health care and the stimulus.
Obama's response: "My strong belief, and this is just a personal theory, is that you wake up every day, you do what you think is right, and you make sure that you're not embarrased by what you thought was right even if it's not politically expedient, and that's how I've tried to govern...
"We should be clear and strong about the steps we took to save this country from a second Great Depression...these are things that I want everyone to know about, and obviously as long as unemployment is as high as it is people are still gonna be frustrated...
"The key question for folks who are looking forward is what is the agenda to bring about growth and expand our middle class over the next two years...it's very hard to figure out from the Republicans what that agenda will be. Nobody believes that tax cuts for the wealthiest two percent is gonna [improve] our unemployment rate...nobody thinks, by the way, that Republicans have a very good track record when it comes to dealing with deficits."
