Obama has his excuse already planned

Asked if he would scale back his agenda if some of his proposed tax increases fail, Obama said, "I am a strong believer in pay-go," a term for avoiding new deficits by paying as you go. "So adhering to pay-go means that if I couldn't find the revenues or reduce spending in other areas, then I couldn't pay for my proposals."

Promise the voter everything under the sun to get their vote and then say sorry we can't pay for that. That sounds like the typical politician to me. So much for that CHANGE moniker.

But he is right about McCain on the Bush tax cuts.
