Daily Caller ^ | 7/24/14 | y Brendan Bordelon

President Obama put his rosy glasses on for an interview with CNBC on Thursday, claiming “It’s pretty hard to find an economic measure where we’re not significantly better off.” Obama spoke with CNBC’s Steve Liesman about the economic policies pushed by the White House and what the federal government expects going forward. “What can you tell average Americans about the outlook of the economy?” Liesman asked, noting that even Obama’s own former economic advisor Larry Summers is forecasting lower growth over the next few years. Obama dismissed that notion. “If you think about where we were, Steve, when I came

Lucky for me I use my “white privilege” to get all the free gas I want. Sometimes I just leave the HEMI running in the driveway just for the heck of it. :>}

Try this "measure" Barry. Ask people, "Are you better off than you were in 2008?"

He was slurring his words in his speech in LA. Did anyone else notice that?

Is there video?

1. Actual care from medical providers.
2. Difference between rich and poor
3. Shrinking of middle class
4. Get less food for the same $$
5. Price of cars to salaries
6 gas prices
7. Less take home money from paycheck

I could play this game all night...

Listen to the Mark Levin show 20 minute mark to the 24 minute mark. Make sure the vol is set low or the beginning will blast your speakers.

Fantastic quote from Adams, but low info voters today have the attention span of an adolescent guppy. The Bible is elegant in it’s simplicity - “If a man will not work, then let him not eat”.

Calendar marked for July 30th to see what ‘good news’ the second quarter brings.

Can’t blame it on the HEAT - all of America is enjoying a very temperate summer and hardly more than a handful of tornadoes and floods for a change. ;)

Can’t hear him slurring his words. Would be interesting if he was.

Inflation is worse, even though the government really doesn’t report it. The price of gasoline has been at an time high throughout Obama’s presidency. The percentage of Americans with a job is at 40 year lows. The economy contracted last quarter a whopping 2.9%. The national debt is at a new record. Obama’s ‘recovery’ was the weakest recovery since World War II. Full time jobs are giving way to part time jobs. More Americans are on some form of public assistance like food stamps than ever before. Yeah, it was pretty hard to find all of those economic measures.

And just wait for the new formula for calculating GNP numbers. The first quarter was negative; two successive negative quarters = a recession.

BUT WAIT! With two you get egg roll!

Here comes a new, improved formula which is guaranteed to result in marvelous numbers. No recession here!

Too bad these measures are all stored on IRS hard drives.

And that’s just the economic list.

then there’s his Obamacare disaster

His letting in thousands of illegals that taxpayers will have to support.

his horrific foreign policy.

His sending the IRS after his enemies and other scandals.

his dictatorial mindset etc.

This guy is lucky he has the media covering for him. because if the american public ever wakes up and finds out just how bad he is, he will be in it deep.
