“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.”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is ignorance and stupidity on a biblical scale.

And yes, although I know it is satire, it is what the jug-eared moron believes.

President Barack Obama boasted that his programs “have made America better off on practically every economic measure.”

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.

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

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.
