Obama's Economy: What We've Learned Since Re-election
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 11/16/2012 | IBD Staff

Posted on 11/17/2012 4:06:27 AM PST by IBD editorial writer

Obama II: In the "now they tell us" file, add a vast array of reports that have come out since the election showing just how weak the economy really is. Looks like the president will need a new scapegoat soon.

Here's just a sampling of what we've learned since voters decided to give Obama four more years to "experiment" with the economy.

The only good part I saw in that report is that Pennsylvania and Ohio are hurting the worst.

I am sure Obama is saying -—Thanks Guys-—and laughing his Natural azz off.

I vote to jump off the fiscal cliff. For 30-40 years our leaders have told us that if we don’t give more of our income to the government, or if we don’t give up some of our freedoms, the country will collapse.

But after 30-40 years of scare tactics, I’ve had enough of the “crying wolf.” I’m ready to take the plunge and see what happens. I’m ready to call their bluff...

Honest economic models show that the “fiscal cliff” will do some harm to our country - but that failure to cut federal spending (regardless of tax changes) will do far more harm. I’m all for austerity, mandatory cuts, the fiscal cliff, or whatever the elite ruling class wants to call a small step toward responsible spending.

That's another reason why Dims are always against spreading out to the 'burbs and countryside - consolidated cesspools of big cities are their most effective breeding grounds - always more "Rats" in the cities.

“Obama got re-elected largely by blaming Bush for everything bad that happened during his first term. So who’s he going to blame now?”

Bush again. He’ll ride that forever because his base accepts it.

Ohio’s unemployment is now under 7%. Thanks not to obama but to a guy named Kasich.

In his “Notes on Virginia,” Thomas Jefferson opined that country folk were far better than city folk.

“So who’s he going to blame now?” “Bush again”

Yes, and the “policies of the past that got us into this mess in the first place”. FDR blamed Hoover and capitalism, and historians today still somehow agree.

Lots of words and hundreds of articles have been written to illustrate the disaster nobama has been for our country. IMHO, this one graph pretty well sums it up:

” Fortune reported three days after the election that the “overwhelming conclusion” of industry analysts and consultants was that Dodd-Frank would cause thousands of small banks to disappear. As a side note, one month before the election a Fortune “fact check” (by the same reporter, no less) blasted Romney for saying during one of the presidential debates that Dodd-Frank was “killing regional and small banks.”

That reporters name is Stephen Gandal.

And here is the so called fact check by Mr gandal

It’s Obama’s fault now. Only the most ignorant of our electorate will believe that it’s Bush’s fault by 2014. By then, the U.S. will be in the throes of a genuine Depression. Save every nickel you can get till then.

Cowboy I was thinking the same thing.
Remember when Jimmah told us the world would run out of crude oil in 20 years. That was 30 years ago. I said then hell lets use it all up in 5 years so we can then work on a new energy source.
F--- the cliff we need to remove one ZERO.
