Deception: There he goes again. The president is taking credit for an economic recovery that isn't happening and a surge in oil production he's had nothing to do with. If he can't be honest, it's up to us to set the record straight.
While touring an Ohio steel mill Thursday, President Obama talked about jobs and the economy bouncing back.
He prattled on about factories "reopening their doors" and businesses "hiring new workers." He even went so far as to imply that his administration has "been trying" to "rebuild a new foundation for growth and prosperity to protect ourselves from future crises."
Meanwhile, in the real world, the U.S. economy continues to struggle under his watch.
As we mentioned earlier this month, "his recovery is by far the weakest since the Great Depression."
Let's add a little more perspective:
"Had Obama's recovery been only as good as the average of the past 10 recoveries, the economy would be $1.3 trillion larger. That's $4,038 for every person in the U.S., or $10,451 per household."
Not much to be proud of. Yet the White House has the nerve to brag about the economy.
But shamelessness, not honesty, is the White House's hallmark. Of course it's that lack of shame that also allows the administration to boast about America's gushing oil output, which has surpassed imports for the first time since 1995, despite the Obama war on fossil fuels.
"This milestone is a result of both increased production and administration policies, like increased fuel-economy standards that cut oil consumption, cut carbon pollution and cut consumer bills," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday.

It would be interesting to know what our oil production right now would be had 0bama encouraged the industry rather than throw up roadblocks at every turn.
Hitler did the same thing and Mussolini, of course made the trains run on time. Just ask Miss Brodie.
Perhaps the “president” should take off the blinders and look at the daily layoff report at www.dailyjobcuts.com . Then he can talk about how well the economy is doing.
I wonder if Valerie is related to her.
He’s carried water for his Saudi masters for five years,
and now wants to claim credit for the US shale oil boom?
Go f*** yourself Barry, you worthless, lying, foreign POS.
If democrats had any sense of love of country, they would be initiating the impeachment proceedings.
You're right, Jaz. The Liar-in-Chief is irredeemingly shameless.
His constant use of the term “workers” pisses me off. It’s right out of Das Kapital.
He probably wanted to use the word “comrades” but his handlers advised him against this.
You’re both dead on the mark!
Hussein is the worst kind of leftist.
And people think you are an idiot because well... you ARE one Orca!
He is lying, and he knows he is lying, but that is what communists do. They lie as a mater of course. It is second nature to them.
