Obama: "Happy To Work With" Republicans As Long As They Do Everything He Says

Appearing on CBS' Face the Nation, Barack Obama said that he is more than willing to compromise with Republicans and cut out-of-control government spending as long as Republicans agree to tax increases and more out-of-control spending as part of the deal.

According to The Hill, Obama complained to CBS' Scott Pelley: “Gov. Romney said he wouldn’t take a deal for $10 in spending cuts for $1 of revenue increases. The problem is the math — or the arithmetic as President Clinton said — doesn’t add up.”

No, Mr. Obama, the problem isn't "the math." The problem is "the history." Does Obama really believes that the we-promise-not-to-spend-so-much-after-you-give-us-more-money-to-waste fable still holds any water with the American people, who have been the victims of this lie one too many times during our nation's history?
