The Obama Economic Record is Even Worse than You Realize

Six years ago this month, America cast its lot toward a young, first-term U.S. Senator from Illinois to lead the greatest nation in the world. His mesmerizing words and bold promises drew folks in by the millions.

However, unless you're a bleeding heart liberal, you realize the social experiment of electing an unqualified, former professional antagonizer has been an economic disaster.

The quantitative evidence, and it abundant, is overwhelming and ever-growing.

...

In 2007, the average household income in America was $55,627.

In 2014, that figure had slipped to $53,880 -- Americans earned less on average than they did seven years prior.

Not to worry....Obama has 2 years, (and apparently no Republican opposition) to destroy the middle class.

I think the frackers trumped his plan.
$2 gas is helping a lot.

“His mesmerizing words and bold promises drew folks in by the millions.”

I could think of different adjectives.

[stephenjohnbanker]

It sure helps our cause.

Interesting quandary in that the green liberals detest fracking as it scars mother Gaea, but it has brought them lower gas prices and higher poll numbers for their dear leader.

Last week there was an op-ed in our Gannett generipaper by some black guy.

He said "Republicans talk about drill baby drill but Barack Obama made it happen."

Yes I did throw up on the kitchen table.

Change was coming. All families, not just the rich, would rise in wealth, but especially those with the lowest of incomes. African-Americans would see their lot improve, as would other minority groups. Grand and exciting changes were coming with the 44th President of the United States.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. – Winston Churchill

Can you imagine where our economy would be without hydraulic fracturing? And that’s the biggest problem with 0bama and his socialist buddies. They think any economic progress is made by government, when in fact any economic development is done despite government.

I’m feeling less stifled, myself...

It would be right where Obamajarett wanted it.

Obama did better than Bush in preserving American jobs but both were failures. No President will reverse America’s economy until the exported jobs are restored.

[Rennes Templar]

If Obummer made it happen, it is the most under-reported thing in his presidency, and there are a lot of them.

Now that the Taxers know people will pay $5.00 a gallon for gasoline, the taxes will increase to stabilize the price around $4.00.

Has it really been only six years?

Seems like a lifetime to me. Worst. President. Ever.

[Organic Panic]

But we’ll make up for it in volume.

Fracking? I was informed by a lib that fracking was only for home heating oil. lol
