Obama's Economic Unreality

Sadly, with President Obama, each day is crazier than the previous one. His latest economic speeches border on the surreal. I just can't quite figure out who he thinks his audience is because so much of what he says doesn't square with reality.

In a speech Friday in Las Vegas, Obama painted quite a rosy portrait of his economic record to date -- at least rosy compared with what we've all experienced with our five senses.

Though I don't intend to go all "Joe Wilson" on him ("You lie!"), please let me share with you a few, shall we say, "discrepancies" in his speech, the major theme of which could be summarized as "" inherited the worst economy since the Depression, and I saved us from a new depression because I say I did."

Obama doesn"t merely ignore all empirical evidence that flies in the face of his claim; he just tells us, astonishingly, that it is positive evidence. It would be like a thief telling the judge at his sentencing that but for his heist, his victims would have been worse off. Or a student telling a math teacher that three minus two equals four. Consider:

Obama is taking America and Americans for fools. He calls this “Recovery Summer”. Well, where is the recovery?

Unreality?

We are going to rebuild America with government subsidized solar panels and windmills. How is that unreal? /LOL

"Try out these statistics: In 2006, the Bush economy grew at 5.6 percent, representing the 18th straight quarter of economic growth, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The unemployment rate was 4.7 percent; it later fell to 4.6 percent, which was lower than the average rate of unemployment for any of the preceding four decades."

Some things need to be remembered.

Obama is taking America and Americans for fools.

And rightfully so... remember those fools elected him.

"His latest economic speeches border on the surreal."

That's bothered me. It's like he's more concerned with creating a statement of record he can point to later on than he is with actually being believed. Each day brings a statement more over the top than the last. He can't really believe anyone is taking this seriously - can he?

Obama is taking America and Americans for fools.

Nah, not at all. Obama knows that only 53% of Americans are fools.
