Fresh Evidence That Obama’s Economy Is Getting Moldy

Growth: We don’t often agree with Bill Clinton, but his recent comments about President Obama painting a “pretty picture” of the economy were dead on. It’s too bad his wife’s proposals would only dig the country deeper in the hole.

At a rally in North Carolina this week, Clinton asked why the public was so angry at Washington these days. His answer: “Because millions and millions of people look at that pretty picture of America (Obama) painted and they cannot find themselves in it to save their lives. That explains everything.” He went on to say “people are upset, they’re anxiety-ridden, they’re disoriented.”

He’s right about Obama deluding himself that these are Good Times. Just last week he was bragging about the economy “showing the kind of strength and durability that makes America’s economy right now the envy of the world” and about how “the American people should be proud...

Anyone who thinks the economy isn’t doing so hot he said, lived in “an alternative reality” where facts and evidence won’t “change their doomsday rhetoric.”

“The numbers, the facts don’t lie,” he said.

Well...

...weekly earnings of salaried workers posted their biggest month-to-month decline in February ...

...“While more Americans are working, they’re making less money,”...

...real annual GDP growth has never once topped 2.5%, making him the first president in modern history to have achieved such an unbroken string of dismal growth.

Of course Obama doesn’t want to admit any of this. Nor does Hillary, who has been praising Obama to the skies and promising more of the same. And nor does the mainstream press, which takes all its cues from Democrats.

So kudos to Bill Clinton for speaking truth to power. Now if he would only admit that Hillary’s economic plan would produce even less growth than Obama.

Interesting how Mr. Clinton's permitted to say the economy has no clothes, but the Mrs. has to clam up. The press too. Bernie and Billy, two honest Dems; what's next?

The Mrs. is walking some fine lines (DOJ prosecution or no prosecution; potentially a pardon or no pardon) & she dare not make Obama dislike her more than he already does. I’m a little surprised Bill is speaking out .... then again, if the cat’s away (in jail) the mice (actually, he’s a ‘Rat) can play ..... without getting screamed at, slapped, scratched, and lamps, ashtrays thrown in his direction.

A very good morning investors!   We not only got gold/silver hanging on to their new-improved support levels (now $1,250.85/$15.37) but yesterday stock indexes closed up a half % in calmer trade and today's futures are bullish on stocks and ok w/ metals.

Maybe it's because it's "claims day":

Fresh Evidence That Obama’s Economy Is Getting Moldy

The "0bama Economy" has always been in rigor mortise, but has been kept "presentable" through lies and common core math that show it much better than it really is. How else do you explain 94 Million "out of the workforce" (unemployed) but an unemployment rate of only 4.9%? The 0bama propaganda ministry is about the only thing working.

Just tell me when to buy gold or silver ;)
