Delivering the commencement address at Rutgers University in New Jersey today, President Barack Obama told the graduates that "the good old days weren't that good" and that both America and the world are better than they were "even eight years ago."
"When you hear someone longing for the good old days, take it with a grain of salt, take it with a grain of salt," Obama said in his address.
"In fact," he said, "by almost every measure, America is better and the world is better than it was 50 years ago or 30 years ago or even eight years ago."

And ain’t it funny that the only one getting much incense is the bathrooms.
How little, how petty, we have gotten. OK, it finally became a leaf blower to our fig leaves, now THIS gins up some kind of unified (if still misdirected) outrage.

Delusional rant from the man who set the Middle East on fire. A legend in his own mind.

I guess he’s really delusional enough to really believe that. I’m not.

All he can say is its better than 8 years ago when it was crashing in flames. Nine years ago things were much better than they are now.

If the stock market was the whole of America, which it isn’t.
Barack has done a stellar job of pumping it up with funny money since then. But funny business has hidden the drawbacks.
