Obama : 'Professional Politicians' Understand Debt Crisis Better Than 'The Public'
Advertisements [?]
This is a comment Pres. Obama made at a recent presser:
( I am typing very close to actual words....watch short video for exact words)

Q: How are you going to convince the American people of the debt crisis?

Pres:" Let me distinguish between professional politicians and the public at large.
The public is not paying close attention to the ins and outs of how a Treasury Auction goes.
They shouldn't.
they are worrying about their family, jobs, they have a lot of things on their plate.
We're paid to worry about it"

Ok, what are YOU hearing in this?

The term "leave it to the professional politicians" really rubbed me the wrong way.
I hear him saying we "citizens" should not be concerning ourselves with the economy.
