WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)To hear the White House tell it, the November elections never happened and 2014 was a super-duper year for President Obama.
In a Year in Review slideshow, the White House suggests 2014 represented a breakthrough for America. The Obama administration takes credit for:
An economy growing at a record pace;
The longest streak of private-sector job growth on record;
The number of Americans without health insurance falling to a near record low;
Concerted action to prevent sexual assaults on college campuses;
The highest high school graduation rate in the nations history;
Historic steps to reduce carbon pollution in the U.S. and around the world;
Checking the Ebola outbreak, Russian aggression in Ukraine and the ISIL terrorist group in the Mideast.

Does it say how many times Obama went golfing in 2014? Does it mention that Obama managed to get in more games of golf than even some pro-golfers?
Nah - why would the MSM tell the truth, either?
There is so much lying that I dont have time to list it all. Lets start with the record amount of people out of the work force and the record amount of people on foodstamps.
Hilarious! The ones that aren’t absolute BS had little or nothing to do with the Obama Administration.
Just like the Clintons, throw something against the wall enough and some of it will stick.
Lies and damn lies. I pray for the day this slug leaves office.
As ever, the Left blames their losses on “we just didn’t do a good enough job getting our message out”. And as always, it seems never to occur to them that they did just fine, and the public rejected their message utterly.
To the bullet points, then:
Record-pace economic growth - but only if you go by the widely-debunked government numbers, and then only the initial ones, not the revised ones. Non-agenda economists like ShadowStats have shown that the economy has done nothing. Much of this “growth” was recorded in Q3, and digging into the details reveals that virtually all the spending was the at-gunpoint spending for Obamacare.
Longest streak of private-sector job growth - which was preceded by an incredibly-deep private-sector job loss event. We are only now back to 2008-era raw numbers of employed, but the population growth since then has left an employment deficit in the tens of millions.
Number of Americans without health insurance at near-record low - except not. Analysis of the Obamacare numbers show that most of the enrollments are either not valid or duplicates, and many of them are people who already had insurance they liked, but lost due to the law. Very few uninsured now have insurance.
Sexual assault on campuses - the only “concerted action” has been a string of poorly-constructed hoaxes, most of which have libeled innocent people in pursuit of a narrative.
Highest high school graduation rate in nation’s history - thanks to social promotion, resulting in the largest cohort of college-bound illiterates in the nation’s history.
Historic steps to reduce carbon “pollution” in the US and around the world - through onerous regulations that destroy the economy, yet place the entire burden on the US; very little has been done about international pollution, and all this despite no warming in 18+ years now, only a modest rise in atmospheric CO2, and increasing evidence that humans have had zero effect on the climate.
Checking Ebola and halting both the Russians and ISIS - and yet Ebola continues to rage out of control, the Russians are free to act however they wish, and ISIS has not only not retreated, they have just declared war on Catholicism (after they burn down the White House).
Liars lie. That is what they do. Clown Prince nobama is an established chronic liar. Shouldn’t he be in prison and, then, exiled? Just askin’.
This administration (small "a") can only dream of a growth rate like we enjoyed during the Reagan years. (and the Clinton years, which were just a Republican-House controlled continuation of the Reagan Revolution)
Heck, they're not even in the same area code as the growth during the Dubya years from post-September 11th until Pelosi & Co took over the House.
