Couric screw up...
It may be nit-picking, but I want to point it out. I watched Obama's press conference yesterday on CBS, Couric obviously did not. Obama stated that "He DID NOT come to office ginned up about spending.." Couric, after the press conference stated that "Obama came to office ginned up...."

In short, Obama WAS NOT looking forward to having to spend on a crisis left by the previous administration. Couric on the other hand change the wording so that Obama WAS looking forward to/or knew the magnitude of the necessary spending.

Like everyone else, Obama does not have a crystal ball.

1. I hope the Obama admin is taking notes. Let these lazy pundits
not get on AF1, not get selected to ask questions, they should be frozen out.
