Krauthammer On Obama: "This Is His Economy And He's Pretending He's Just Stumbled Upon It"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 7/29/13 | staff

Posted on 07/29/2013 8:00:51 PM PDT by Nachum

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I find it astonishing that he goes around making speeches in which he deplores the state of the economy, the growing income inequality, chronic unemployment, staggering middle class income, and it's as if he has been a bystander, as if he's been out of the country for the last five years. It's his economy; he's the president.

He's talking as if this is the Bush economy, I don't know, the Eisenhower economy, and he just arrived in a boat and he discovers how bad the economy is. This is a result of the policies he instituted. He gave us the biggest stimulus in the history of the milky way, and he said it would jump start the economy. The result has been the slowest recovery, the worst recovery since World War II, and that is the root of all of the problems he's talking about, the income inequality -- the median income of the middle class of Americans has declined by 5% in his one term. So who's responsible for that? Those were his policies. He talks about this in the abstract and he actually gets away with it in a way that I find absolutely astonishing, it's magical. This is his economy and he's pretending he's just stumbled upon it. And the policies he proposes are exactly the ones he proposed

Hey Charlie, you still don’t see the big picture — it is all part of the process to permanently damage the country of your birth.

Aw, now. Let's be fair, eh? President You Didn't Build That has been awfully busy the past few years. He's had all those golf games to play, all those vacations to take, all that skeet shooting to do, the Fast & Furious conspiracy to supervise, IRS agents to chat with, Muslim Brotherhood friends to keep up with, and...

Charles, you are IN the business. You know damn well it's not magical. It's because 99.9999 of reporters and editors are partisan democrats.

The media is Charles’ business and he’s pretending he’s just stumbled upon the bias that allows Obama to behave the way he does. Charles: you make the magic happen.

Because he can and nobody calls him on it. No controlling legal authority. No oversight ( that would be racist ) - the average Cletus R. Slackjaw Obama lickspittle supporter/voter is too lacking of balls to criticize his hero because the chicks won’t like him and he won’t get any blow at the Hollywood parties

Looks like he’s getting away with it too. The GOP sure won’t call him out.

It is the Limbaugh theorem. President Obama does act like he just flew in from the moon. But it’s silly because the political arguments, sequestration, the tensions amongst the races, no budgets passed since 2009. It’s all his. Heck, even the GOP House is his doing because they wouldn’t have won in the first place if Obamacare didn’t get passed.

It’s all Obama’s!!!

A fair minded observer knows that Obama has created the tone, style, scandals, and economy of these United States. This makes since as he is, in fact, the President of this country.

What doesn’t make sense is the fact that he gets a pass on everything bad. I truly believe that the people don’t really believe in Obama, but they strongly believe in America....and in America a black man gets to be President no matter how crappy he is at getting things done.

J J Cale has a song, "The Problem," and I swear the lyrics must have been written with Ostupid in mind.

"Have you heard the news that's going 'round here
The man in charge has got to go
Cause he dances 'round the problem, boy
And the problem is the man in charge you know
Now, the young knows what I'm talking 'bout
It's a con in the old man's game
The man in charge, he don't know what he's doing
He don't know the world has changed"

Charles, Dr. K, normally you and I see eye to eye. But with the magic negro, you are blind. The creature is just another bump in the road. No, more than that....much more. We might wish to use the phrase “sink hole” Barry reminds WTP of S. King’s Langoliers (little monsters that gobble up everything in sight) Open your eyes, man. It’s past time to see what there is to see...and it ain’t good.
