"This word 'recession' and this other word 'depression', they are LIES all LIES."

Presidential Press Secretary Jay Carney boasted to a skeptical media that “the economy is a lot better than everyone thinks it is. The focus on high unemployment, bankruptcies, and foreclosures misses the big picture.”
Carney declined to get down to specifics on what the so-called “big picture” entails. “It all boils down to the simple question Reagan posed in the 1980 election,” Carney contended. “All the American people need do is ask themselves whether they are better off now than they were before President Obama took office. Once they recall the hopelessness that prevailed under Bush and the Republicans the troubles they face today will fade into insignificance.”
The Press Secretary challenged people to “consult the data. There’s no doubt that today’s conditions irrefutably support the policies that President Obama has initiated. As just one example, there are more Americans on food stamps now than ever before. President Obama is feeding more people than any of his predecessors ever did. Voters need to decide whether they want to risk giving up gains like these in order to restore Republican control of the government in the 2012 election. I think we all know what their answer will be.”

I thought you was serious
Awesome!
Great work.
BUMP
Is it better than Obama thinks it is?
Does Obama think?
I remember the good old days of 2-1/2 years ago...
LOL
The Food Stamp President
By Nov 012, folks will refer to 2008 as the “good old days”
I suspect you will get a LOT of moths with this one, John!
It is so close to being true that even knowing it is satire I think it is on the money for what these people believe!
Breath Carney breath. Your brain needs oxygen....sorry too late.
"This word 'recession' and this other word 'depression', they are LIES all LIES."
“...I fear others will discover this and move here...no, no, no...shooo!”
That reminds me of some people I met in Jackson Hole one time. They were from South Dakota, and when I expressed an interest in what things were like in SD, they began, with tongue in cheek, to tell me how “unpleasant it is, and that I shouldn’t come there. ;oD
Feeding more people. Yes, he put 17 million more on foodstamps or whatever it’s called today.
Hell no I am not better off.
Is this guy stupid, insane or just a lying SOB.
Was I paying 3.60 for gas under Bush, I can’t afford to het my house under Obama, and it’s getting worse by the minute.
Tell that to the economy. No one else is impressed.
Thanks for another good chuckle John. Needed it today. Good one.
Your satire is so close to the truth in so many ways that I often find myself getting hot under the collar when I read your excerpts, only to smile and say “Ah, it’s another Semmens satire piece.” You, sir, have a talent. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Oh yes, boyz and gurlz. It's imagination time. Close your eyes. That's not beans and rice you're having for dinner tonight. That's steak and potatoes. And Oh yes, gasoline is not $4 a gallon. It's $2.50.....Always remember, don't believe the mean 'ol Republicans. They're extremist. We LOVE our dear leader President Obama. He will always take care of us.
the really bad news is there are 16 months til the election
and the economy is going to get significantly worse.
Carter may have carried 7 states, but there is no way b.o. carries that many.
