The immense gratitude Republicans owe Obama

One of these days Republicans will begin to realize what a political miracle-worker Barack Obama has been for the Party of Lincoln these past 82 months.
Yes, yes, Obama’s economic policies and regulations have created the worst economic recovery and most sluggish job market in six decades. They’ve stifled the dreams of millions, chased them from the workplace, limited their choices and increased widespread reliance on government handouts.
His serial lies and cynical abuse of authority and privilege through over-reaching power and over-blown language have corroded Americans’ trust in their most hallowed institutions.
Obama’s sequester suggestion helped hollow America’s once dominant military to an enfeebled condition requiring years to rebuild. Obama’s stubbornly naive foreign policies, if you call them policies, have turned America into the paper tiger once the wishful dream of communists.
Obama’s reluctance or inability to lead in anything other than appeasement created vast vacuums of power abroad for eager opponents to expand as thousands perish in the conflicts.
But, boy oh boy, has Obama devastated the Democrat Party. As Tuesday’s off-year election results revealed across the country, it will take those folks years to recover, while Obama makes millions off his next ghost-written books.
Yes, indeed, the Me-First President did win a second term, albeit with five million fewer votes than his first. As the Obama countdown clock winds through the last 441 days of his 2,922 total, let us count the blessings this Chicago Democrat has bestowed on Republicans:
Rooters makes the largest increase in jobless claims in months sound like great news.
The Obama-Controlled Bureau of Labor Statistics will keep lying through their teeth, fudging the numbers and playing silly games with the statistics until he’s out of office. If a Republican takes over at that time, they will start using the real numbers, shocking the American public, and place all the blame on the new POTUS, even if he’s only had a week in office...................
I have reached the point where I no longer believe any thing from the Federals. Good news or bad news.
Unfortunately the labor market is not healthy, so the high ratio of new claims vs active jobs is a strong sign of massive layoffs as manufacturing spins down the socialist drain.
Here’s my shocked face: :-0
Productivity = (stuff made) / (labor required to make it). If you get rid of the labor (i.e. jobs), the denominator is smaller and productivity goes up.
Usually, this is a good thing, because then jobs are created to make other stuff or provide new services. Not with this administration.
