(CNSNews.com) Emmy award-winning actor Alec Baldwin told CNSNews.com on Capitol Hill that he believes the financial crisis has "crippled" President Barack Obama, preventing him from doing any "new spending." Baldwin also said Obama has been doing "a lot" of "back-peddling" because hes had to spend his whole first term "trying" to correct Americas course financially.
Following his appearance on Capitol Hill at a press conference with Senator Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) about campaign finance reform, CNSNews.com asked Baldwin if President Obama has lived up to his expectations.
"Well, I mean, I think so because I think that when you come into office and you want to put your mark on things -- this is just my opinion, when you want to put your mark on things, you want to be able to spend. And whats crippled Obama's administration, as far as Im concerned, is the financial crisis and its prevented him from doing any new spending," said Baldwin, who publicly supported Obama in the 2008 Presidential election.
"Hes not able if the country was as flush as it was under Bill Clinton and he had money -- these things cost money -- he could have made more of a mark," said Baldwin. "I think right now hes had to do a lot of counter-punching; a lot of back peddling. He inherited this crisis from Bush and Paulson. He had to extend the TARP. I think its been very difficult for him to spend his whole first term trying to, you know, correct our course financially. I think a second term of Obama, well see a lot more of what we want to see from him."
Baldwin was also at the Capitol on Tuesday for Arts Advocacy Day where he and actor Kevin Spacey lobbied members of Congress for continued federal funding of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). The two actors were scheduled to testify before a House Appropriations Subcommittee on Tuesday but the hearing was cancelled so staff members could work on budget negotiations.

Wasn't he supposed to move to France if Bush was reelected?
Fat Moonbat Baldwin: "I think a second term of Obama, well see a lot more of what we want to see from him."
Yeah - we haven't even seen any massive food riots and race riots yet. We haven't even seen the WH lawn become Omaha Beach or Anzio. Martial Law hasn't been implemented.
What Baldwin wants to see will occur IF the Kenyan is re-elected. Of course this fat bastid lefty - like most of Hollywood - will be holed up in their heavily-guarded compounds in in Belaire or Beverly Hills, or chateaus in France when the SHTF.

He's too much of a "panocha" even for the French......

I feel sorry for these weirdos in Hollywood. I would hate to live in that much denial and be that shallow. What a waste of time this guy is. He and Obama have that in common.
