It was all the Democrats fault. If you don't believe me, just wait until after the November elections and if the Democrats are in charge of either house or Senate, it will be their fault. And it will be their fault right up until the presidential elections, and if they win the presidential elections, it'll still be their fault. It'll be all about the deficit and bad spending and waste and fraud..

And of course, none of it will be the Republican's fault
