MICHAEL WALSH: COMEDIAN-IN-CHIEF: “Here’s a joke for you: President Obama nearly bankrupts the country with his out-of-control deficit spending — then demands responsible fiscal leadership from the Republicans.”

Plus this: “How else to explain Obama’s adamant refusal to put some serious numbers on the table? The administration’s talks with the GOP leadership broke down over the weekend largely because the president is only willing to offer — wait for it — a grand total of $2 billion in real spending cuts in 2012. That’s it — $2 billion with a “b,” out of a projected deficit of more than a trillion dollars. No wonder Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that no solution to the debt problem is possible as long as Obama is in office.” But, says Walsh, McConnell isn’t a lot better.
