Alec Baldwin: Financial crisis means Obama isn't ‘doing any new spending’

You may remember Baldwin as the actor who launched the successful 'Shadow' franchise.

Alec Baldwin, star of such films as "Pearl Harbor," "Mercury Rising" and "The Adventures of Pluto Nash,"  tells CNS News the poor economy under Barack Obama has prevented the president from increasing spending.

"(W)hat’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 in a Capitol Hill interview.

Apparently no one's told Obama.
