Worth a watch, especially on this particular network even though Morning Joe offers much more reality than most of the rest of MSNBC’s schedule. Today’s reminder of reality comes from Wall Street Journal’s White House correspondent Carol Lee, who points out that the sunny rhetoric from Barack Obama and his administration has a “total disconnect” to the reality for most Americans, as seen in the latest NBC/WSJ poll.
Time for another pivot?

“The President was campaigning, raising money in California a few weeks ago,” Lee notes, “and he was saying, ‘People feel better than they did five years ago’ … some of the folks who participated in this poll explicitly said that they don’t feel better than they did five years ago.” Lee pointed out one particularly bad metric in the poll, which was “the 79% of people who think their kids’ future is not going to be better than their own — I mean, that’s a huge number.”
Actually, the number is 76% rather than 79%, either of which is a huge number. In fact, it’s the highest in the NBC/WSJ poll series, far exceeding the 57% in June 2009 at the start of the recovery, and the 56% in September 2008 when the Great Recession sharply deepened. The last time this series asked that question was May 2012, and at that time 63% felt that the next generation would do worse than the current one. Today’s reading is the highest since September 1993, when the US had already begun a much more significant recovery than the Obama recovery of today.

the economy data are rigged by government, thats why tehres a disconnect between government economists a and the public
Wow!
On the MSM, unbelievable.
Chuck Todd said today that the recession was over although millions of unemployed Americans didn’t understand this...
MSM is carefully setting the stage to pin the blame on Obummer for the absolute shellacking the Dews are gonna take at the ballot box in November.
He can’t run again. He is expendable.
The problem is that in reality, until we drastically simplify the income tax system and massively overhaul regulations to reduce compliance costs on both, we’re not going to have a real economic recovery.
“That will make it difficult for Democrats to talk about the economy in the midterm elections, even though it’s by far and away the top priority for voters in this cycle, without looking like complete shills for an incompetent and out-of-touch administration.”
“We own this economy.” Li’l Debbie Wasserman-Schulz
Yeah, I’d say they’re pretty much screwed. Or should be, but there’s a butt as big as Michelle’s looming ....
But 35% of the American public will still vote for them, if they keep getting free foams.
The first ambassador killed since 1988, and the first killed in an attack since 1979.
The first general killed since 1970.

Obama on economy: "People feel better than they did five years ago"
Obama on world affairs: "The world is less violent than it has ever been."
You can keep your health care plan.. You can keep your doctor.. It's almost comical, isn't it.
The economy used to be a big factor in elections.
That’s why Carter got creamed in 80.
But America has changed.
I figured Baraq would lose based on 8% unemployment (13% real), $4 gas, surging food prices, and trillion dollar deficits.
I was wrong.
Nothing really matters anymore except identity politics.
I thought he was a one-termer too, I was convinced, but it just evidences their goal:
the Democrats want as many riding in the cart as those in harness pulling it.
This is why they so urgently want millions of loyal, entitlement-drawing “immigrants”.
They may be hauling off unhappy elderly and `useless eater’ citizens to Soylent Green factories, so the election may be close, but they get the remaining working, yellow-dog Democrats. At that tipping point, we’ve become a permanent one-party political system with a fairly large and perpetually infuriated minority.
(Assuming the GOP isn’t now the moderate wing of the Democrat party.)
Obama is toast - the media knows it.
This is why the media is doing double time promoting his and our savior - HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT.
Hmm, The CBS morning show highlighted her Colbert appearance this morning as if it were, well, news.
How can this be? The jug-eared Marxist moron has been “focused on the economy” for the last six years...
thats why I told the GOP to kiss my a$$
Comments of denial should be expected from Cocaine addicts.
BTW, have you noticed that Obama’s frequency of his fund-raising “trips” increase in direct proportion to the level of chaos that Obama’s policies have created?
However, it could just be that Obama needs to get away from the Wife and Kids, - - - to “clear his head,” so to speak.
The BLOND BENGHAZI BOMBSHELL is always news to the Left Stream Media.
