President Barack Obama talks about the debt-limit negotiations, Monday, July
11, 2011.
(CNSNews.com) - At a White House press conference today, President Barack
Obama said that "professional politicians" understand the debt crisis better
than "the public."
Obama was responding to a question from CBS News Reporter Chip Reid. “The
latest CBS News poll showed that only 24 percent of Americans said that you
should raise the debt limit to avoid an economic catastrophe," said Reid. "
There’s still 69 percent who oppose raising the debt limit. So, is it the
problem that you and others have failed to convince the American people that
we have a crisis here and how are you going to change that?”
Obama responded: “Let me distinguish between professional politicians and
the public at large. You know, the public is not paying close attention to
the ins and outs of how a Treasury auction goes. They shouldn’t. They’re
worrying about their family, they’re worrying about their jobs. They’re
worrying about their neighborhood. They have got a lot of other things on
their plate. We’re paid to worry about it.” |
