In an interview on CNBC this past week President Barack Obama boasted that his programs “have made America better off on practically every economic measure.” He contended that “the seemingly negative outcomes cited by my critics stem from false consciousness.”
“From a broad perspective let’s consider the declining participation in the workforce that many in the GOP harp on,” Obama suggested. “Work, as any economist will tell you, is a disutility. People don’t work because they want to. They work because they have to. The fact that a growing number of Americans can live their lives without having to work is a positive development.”
“From a narrower perspective let’s consider the rising costs of fuel and food—two items excluded from most measures of inflation,” Obama continued. “Has anyone wondered why these items are excluded? It’s because consumption of them contributes to a worsening standard of living. Burning more fuel leads to higher levels of pollution. Rising costs for gasoline helps deter unnecessary travel and reduce pollution. This is good for everyone’s health.”
“The same goes for food,” the President added. “Look around you. It couldn’t be more obvious that too many Americans overeat. Rising costs for food can help discourage overeating. The result will be a thinner, trimmer population—which is healthier all around.”
“Confirmation that things are a lot better than some want you to think can be found in the Stock Market where share values have reached an all-time highs during my term in office,” Obama said. “The smartest and wisest when it comes to money management are giving a big ‘thumbs up’ to my policies.”
“The whining of a small minority who would place their own personal troubles ahead of these more significant collective gains shouldn’t be allowed to distort our perception,” the President concluded. “I’d really like the media to keep this in mind as they report economic news in the run up to the November elections.”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is ignorance and stupidity on a biblical scale.
The zero must have meant He not he collective we.
And yes, although I know it is satire, it is what the jug-eared moron believes.
Aww c’mon. Now you’re just copying the White House twitter feed.
My God! The president has gone completely nuts! How can he believe this? How can he expect the people to believe it? To make America better on every economic measure he should resign and leave us repair his damage.
Repeat a lie often enough...
On 0’s watch:
Family income down by 1/3 on acg ( my own wages lowered by 2/3 )
Taxes increased
The scourge of Obamacare laid on our laps; millions of Americans can’t afford the premiums nor can they afford the penalty which is significantly higher than the $695 (or similar number than fe first quoted). Now he says almost $2,500
Unemployment up despite whatever magic fairy dust he sprinkles on the numbers
1000’s of small business close
Millions upon millions laid off
Prices on a groceries rose significantly; at least by a 1/3
Inflation is up overall in general
The American dollar isn’t going to be the world standard anymore
Yeah Obama the economy is peachy you clueless moron! Now get back to your golf game, vacation trips, and $1000 dinners
Like my health-care costs....
Just take a gander at the white house twitter feed. They actually say this stuff.

Another W T F moment from our ‘President’ the King of the Idiots!!
I am embarrassed to say this, but I did something the other day I have never done in my entire life.
I took money from my savings to pay the electric bill-otherwise it would be overdue.
We are better off? Yes I suppose the elitists are better off than us lowly American.
Yep. Just like he reminds us all the time that the world is more peaceful during his tenure.
Can we at least request a drug test for Obama?
did you see the new poll that Romney would win against Obama in a landslide if the election were reheld today?
Yeah, the real Dummies.
