LOL, you make it sound like he made some kind of great sacrifice and selflessly gave up a more lucrative job to save us all from ourselves.
You are correct, it will probably take a few more years to dig us out of the hole that the Clinton administration first commissioned. Obama is a guy with no answers though.
I happen to think that his statement was a simple analogy saying to not spend more than you make, which is a piece of advice many people (Obama included) could all stand to heed at their own levels.
