In her other remarks she said that the U.S. needs to raise the minimum wage, provide paid family leave, etc.

That couldn't possibly be true. Dear Leader and all the queens men assure us this is the summer of recovery again.

Maybe if we all would step outside and fire our shotguns in the air everything will work out fine.

So many Americans simply refuse to face reality. They literally don’t care what the truth is. Obama can do no wrong.
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama’s job performance. Forty-six percent (46%) disapprove.

The latest figures include 29% of all likely voters who Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing as president and 36% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7.

Where did you get the idea that international organizations like the IMF and World Bank were interested in helping us other than as a way to increase their parasitism?
