The lousy Obama economy is killing Hillary Clinton's hopes
The New York Post ^ | June 5, 2016 | Charles Gasparino

The case for an Obama third term, a.k.a. a Hillary Clinton presidency, just suffered a major blow.

Indeed, Friday’s jobs report (or lack-of-jobs report) is just the thing Clinton feared most when she launched her presidential bid: namely, that Obamanomics, which boils down to the bizarre notion that higher taxes, more regulation and class warfare actually work, would begin to fully implode while she was forced into defending it on the campaign trail — or risk losing the president’s endorsement.

The sickeningly weak job creation during the month of May (just 38,000 jobs when economists expected closer to 150,000) doesn’t mean the economy is “officially” heading to a recession. But it’s yet another sign we could be heading in that direction.

Sure, the unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent. But that’s only because more people stopped looking for work: The labor-force participation rate fell to a level right out of the malaise of the 1970s....

It’s really sad and scary that the gov. has this kind of power over people. It’s going to be a long hard judgement for those people when they face the Lord.

The economy sucked after obama’s first term but it didn’t keep him from getting reelected. Leftists don’t care about the economy. Government handouts make up for bad economies.

They’ll figure a way if they can’t lay it all on Bush. Its time for Trump to use “Its the economy stupid!”

“Government handouts make up for bad economies.”

One more false claim.

It's more than just that. The slowing economies in Europe and eastern Asia portend a fall into a recession by late this year. Especially concerning are the possibility one or two of China's Big Four banks (Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China) have serious cash flow issues and their collapse will have an incredibly nasty domino effect economically around the world.

Small wonder why Harry Dent (love him or not!) has prophesized that between 2016 and 2020, the risk of a general world war of the type we haven't seen since 1945 could very well happen, since many countries will have nothing to lose economically by starting such a war after a major stock market crash.

And here I thought she was doing a bang-up job of that all by herself.

They are going to drum that 4.7 number day in day out until November. The question is will Americans believe their lying eyes or not?

....If they even bothered to vote at all.

Keep a close eye on the voter fraud factor.
