As if you couldn't think worse about the Hollywood types who spout off pretending to be experts, then comes Alec Baldwin.

So apparently if Obama gets re-elected (which seems like a fairly likely bet at this point) we can expect him to SPEND SPEND SPEND our tax dollars.

Financial Crisis Has ‘Crippled’ Obama, Preventing Him From ‘Doing Any New Spending’
"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 what’s crippled Obama's administration, as far as I’m concerned is the financial crisis and it’s prevented him from doing any new spending," said Baldwin, who publicly supported Obama in the 2008 Presidential election.
"He’s 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. I think right now he’s 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 it’s 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, we’ll see a lot more of what we want to see from him."
