[Gathnet] Do you know who said this?

[eg]

/The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit 
is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government 
can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing 
financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's 
reckless fiscal policies. ... Increasing America's debt weakens us 
domestically and internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops 
here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today 
onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt 
problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better./

Sounds about right doesn't it?
  This was a speech Barack Obama gave in 2006.

Do you suppose he feels the same way now that the debt has increased 
close to 40% in the short time he's been in office, (14 trillion now, 
and counting), nearly double what the debt was when he gave this speech?
