I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the Obama economic recovery is a complete sham! Barack the Barista, aided by his media muppets and trusty teleprompter, continues to tout the “common core” 6.1% unemployment rate while shouting “America is back” from the top of Mount Hypocrisy amidst adoring crowds of mindless Kool-Aid drinkers. As expected, our so-called President is excluding one teensy-weensy, minor detail: Over 92 MILLION Americans, more than a third of the country, are not working! Workforce participation is at an atrocious 62.8%, the lowest rate since Carter’s implosion in 1978, and food stamp recipients have jumped from 28 million to a staggering 50 million in a mere 6 years! Call me a stickler for tradition, but wouldn't a fertile marketplace produce quality jobs to help people put food on the table, live in respectable housing, and afford their own healthcare? Too much to ask; even for a non-rhetorical question?
If America is truly back to her former glory and working again – conveniently disregarding household income is still lower than it was in 2009 – shouldn’t less people need government assistance? More significantly, shouldn’t private sector hires easily outpace government jobs, let alone new welfare and disability claims? Where is Burger King moving to again; anywhere but here?
Because common sense doesn’t dive in the shallow end of reason, or need a purple mustache to confirm the obvious, do any of these truths resemble even the faintest notion of an economic recovery? If you please, Mr. Propagandist, has economic growth ever topped 4% for a single quarter since “hope” and “change” took office and conveniently redefined “opportunity”? After all, if the “Great Recession” you inherited was truly a historic crash – not merely prolonged or exasperated by your anti-business platform – then an inevitable period of prosperity…i.e. Reagan’s 9% (1983) or FDR’s 11% (1936) GDP resurgence…should have naturally ensued. I'm sad to report we're still waiting...for the salad!
What’s that? No such luck, magic bullet or statistical manipulation to discredit real empirical evidence? Hmm, well then, how about an anecdotal asterisk? *The highest unemployment rate during Bush’s tenure, 6.3%, is roughly equivalent to Obama’s lowest rate of 6.1%. Likewise, the President commonly known as “Bush’s Fault” boasts the worst median GDP of all-time at -2.6%, which is 4.6% lower than his aforementioned piñata* Honestly, how many CEO’s can perform worse than their predecessor, blame that individual, yet are still allowed to keep their job? Welcome to liberal fantasy land where failures and frauds get an all-expense paid vacation to the pinnacle of our beloved republic: the White House!
Did you know it’s literally impossible to question or criticize Barack Obama without being labeled an extremist, a Tea Party racist, or an enemy of the state? I’m guessing “We the Educated People” should also ignore the fact inflation has risen from .1 to 2% during Obama's reign, the national debt has skyrocketed by a record 7 trillion under his imperial watch, and black unemployment – Barry’s disenfranchised victims of white establishment capitalism – is at a horrific 11.4%. Yes, mathematics is a Right Wing conspiracy and America wasn’t founded on intellectual discourse! I’m also presuming, Mr. President, you forgot to mention that by reinserting the 12 million who have LEFT the workforce for greener entitlement pastures since your inauguration, real black unemployment would be over 25% while the national rate is actually closer to 18%. Dare I mention that the jobless rate of black youths recently topped 40%? It couldn’t get worse, could it? Amnesty and “preferential employment status” for 10 million illegals, anyone? Now you’re talking real disenfranchisement!
While Mr. Hussein was busy raising the militant fist of social justice and inciting racism for political gain, never demanding accountability from himself or a tangible work ethic from all able-bodied citizens, an astounding and tragic reality surfaced; 47 million Americans now reside below the poverty line. American commerce, the heartbeat of innovation, opportunity, and prosperity, is being systematically snuffed out by nothing more than a glorified used car salesman. Yep, should have checked the Carfax; especially when it's in Russian.
I'm sorry, you thought progressivism embodied unity and uplifted the masses from poverty? But your campaign speeches, Mr. President; your endless promises? Am I hallucinating or are those gold-leafed absentee ballots – with flying unicorns sliding EBT cards and medicinal marijuana down recycled rainbows – raining down on my water-rationed lawn before election day? The only truth about the current economic state of America is that an anti-American bigot squandered trillions of dollars by waging political vendettas, empowering radical associates, bribing the electorate and implementing a backwards progressive agenda designed to reduce the world’s most vibrant and diverse economy into a withering welfare state of socialist futility.
There are lies, Mr. President, and then there are bigger lies: you, my foe, are the biggest lie of all! How can you and Mr. Biden take the country back when you’ve already hijacked it, fleeced it, and given the title to our nation’s independence and vitality away to those who would gladly watch it burn? I'd venture to say via the same reasoning limousine liberals don't carpool on the proverbial way to social and economic equality; they're all mentally disturbed, shameless hypocrites who prey on keeping voters poor, angry and/or ignorant at the expense of America's very survival and future viability!
Yep. Sad to see the leftist cheering and celebrating how great the economy is when those they claim to care about are still suffering the most. Liars.
The investor class . . . seems to be doing fairly well . . . for how long? But I’ll take it. But I’m realistic in that I know things are still NOT great no matter how many times they say it is.
Well, you were expecting perfection from the Ivy League educated semi-black handlebar eared Sunni Muslim president?
Using Karl Marx’s ideas to help the middle class is like using Adolph Hitler’s ideas to help the Jews.
I agree. They purposely conceal the truth while America is fleeced right before our very eyes. Sad and tragic.
Carter must be seething with jellousy.
Obama has the congressional Democrats in his back pocket. Carter’s congress hated him.
Obama has the press solidly in his camp. Carter did not. Yes the press was not anti-Carter but they were not his personal apologist army as they are for Obama.
Carter must really feel like he was truly mistreated by this country after watching Obama be able to anything and still be the Golden Child.
lol Nope, definitely not expecting anything remotely positive. It’s just unfortunate the left works overtime to put lipstick on a pig and smugly pretend America isn’t drowning!
Touche!
Exactly. It’s a double standard of historic proportions. Carter got reamed daily for his ineptitude...and rightfully so...while Obama gets buildings named after him for being nothing more than a catastrophic failure and a criminal. Appalling to say the least.
The only truth about the current economic state of America is that an anti-American bigot squandered trillions of dollars by waging political vendettas, empowering radical associates, bribing the electorate and implementing a backwards progressive agenda designed to reduce the world’s most vibrant and diverse economy into a withering welfare state of socialist futility.
Agreed, damn the man!
May he rot it hell, with all his simpering, ego addicted minions.
He gets the Nobel Peace Prize just for getting elected.
He gets reelected even though he had just as lousy an economy as Carter and he hadn’t gotten the US out of Iraq and Afghanistan or shut down Guantanamo Bay as promised.
Carter must lay awake at night crying his eyes out and cursing that rabbit.
That deserves an Amen!
It’s beyond belief and infuriating. If he was white, or a Republican, there would have been protests in the streets from day 1.
A very damning statistic. The private sector is being systematically eliminated.
