This is an opposition which is simply incapable of facing the reality that they have inflicted on this nation. The opposition inflicted a debt and deficit disaster on this nation. They are in denial; they have been in denial since the election. We were elected to fix their mess, and fix it we will. Fix it we will. That is what the people elected us to do, and that is precisely what we are doing. This is our duty and we will not fail to discharge it.
