Isnt this the same clown who is breaking records with the amount of fundraisers he goes to? Same Celebrity in Chief who caters to the Hollywood elite? Same guy who said just weeks ago that sometimes he forgets we are in a recession?!?!
Seriously, our POTUS said sometimes he forgets we are in a recession! My God, if Bush had said sometimes I forget we are at war or if he were POTUS now and said what Obama said, he wouldve been destroyed by the media and all Americans wouldve heard that idiotic, out of touch comment.
The private sector is doing fine. Where we're seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government. Oftentimes cuts initiated by, you know, Governors or mayors who are not getting the kind of help that they have in the past from the federal government and who don't have the same kind of flexibility as the federal government in dealing with fewer revenues coming in.
Obama appears to think that state and local governments are the only areas where there are weaknesses in the economy.
More of the same Big Government Is King Leftist Diatribe.
But yesterday they said the economy was tanking and it was the GOP's fault.. If only they'd spend more money, that they can blame on Bush to try to show Obama hasnt spent anything..
June is turning out to be a very bad month for Obama and the Democrats, and it all started with the terrible jobs number. If the trend continues this summer (which I suspect will happen as more people try to find jobs, especially new college grads), then a sour economy will seal Obama's re-election fate.
Remember - Obama stated he had 3 years to fix things or this would be a 1-term proposition. He can't complain now when people are calling him on that. He should have focused more on jobs in 2009-2010 rather than working with the Democrats to find ways to push through a 1900+ page bill on healthcare reform that no one wanted then and more people don't want now.
It's doing fine, we just have to give the foreign banks even more money and assume their bad debts. In the words of Obama, You have to print money to spend money. Spend, print, lend, spend, lend, tax, spend, tax, spend, lend, print, steal.
Yeah, because I put so much credibility into the economic rantings of a member of the Choom Gang.
Obama cannot even lie his way out of his failured record. He'd rather we just ignore them and give him 4 more years in which to finish off this country.
The economy is certainly doing a lot more than just fine, if we were to consider how it was doing 3-4 years ago. But then, considering is a tall order for those who prefer Ostrich Syndrome instead.
