Gratitude for jobs, improved economy under Obama? Fuggedaboutit.
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | October 4, 2014 | E.J. Dionne Jr

Posted on 10/05/2014 5:20:58 PM PDT by artichokegrower

As Ken Burns’ superb documentary on the Roosevelts reminded us, “Happy Days Are Here Again” is one of the most evocative anthems in the history of the Democratic Party. You have to ask: Why aren’t the Democrats, and the country, singing it loudly now?

Happy days here again? Record number of people not working, most ever number of people receiving food stamps, record high black unemployment, cities going bankrupt, record high national debt.

My investment portfolio is centered on companies producing prayer rugs, Ebola proof body bags, morphine and Lot's of it, Thorazine, JDAM servo guidance kits, razor wire(millions of miles of it), and body burning furnaces.

It's called the "Obama made me eat my peas" portfolio.

“Obama, for one, is clearly frustrated that having inherited an economy that was at death’s door, he is getting remarkably little credit for getting it back on its feet.”

Credit?! The country will get back on its feet not because of him, but in spite of him.

E.J. Dionne Jr says, "Everything is great now because of Obama and the Democrats. Why is everyone so ungrateful?"

The poor fool doesn't get it.

Before anyone’s economic prospects improve, America’s employment situation needs to improve.

We now have 93,000,000 out of work.

Bring back jobs to America. This means you democrats, but this also means Republicans need to start supporting American jobs.

Support America.

That must be why our children's daycare just closed up shop, citing the continuing poor economy, after all of its private supplemental funding dried up.

Yeah, happy days sure are here again.

Moron.

In-effing-credible.

Our economy was on "deaths door' back when we were trillions less in debt, the worker participation rate was millions of people higher, gas was 1.80 a gallon, etc etc etc. (oh, and a republican was president) but now everything is just wonderful.

Leftists are indeed a delusional lot.

Leftists really do want the peasants to fall on their faces and thank Dear Leader for increasing the chocolate ration from 30 grams to 25

The poor fool doesn’t get it.

It will be great for the month, Dionne. Come November 5th expect gas and the price of everything else to go back up; food has gone steadily up.
I get so tired of explaining how O’s administration manipulates the economy land distorting the truth about the economy leading up to the election to libs so they will vote Dem. Consider one example; an 8 ounce tub of the lower grade butter cost me $1.76 approx one year ago. That butter is now $2.86 at the same store now. Do the math but I’d say it went up about 1/3 higher in price. In my experience groceries don’t normally jump up that fast percentage wise unless there’s a shortage or higher demand but they usually fluctuate once supply and demand level out. They haven’t been since O’s been in office. They’ve consistently stayed high and haven’t one back down. In fact the price of groceries and other items has gone up faster during his presidency than any other that I can remember. I’d say he and his economic policies have much to do with it.
