Obama To Middle America: The Economy Is Doing Great, And If You Don’t Think So, You’re Dumb
Investors Business Daily ^ | June 3, 2016 | John Merline

If Shakespeare were around today, he’d probably say that “the president doth protest too much, methinks.”

How else to describe Barack Obama’s hour-long harangue to an audience in Elkhart, Ind., about how the economy is doing fabulously well, and that the only reason people don’t believe it is because of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh?

Obama’s pique is understandable. After all, presidential candidates from both parties are currently running around the country bashing the economy — the one that Obama promised eight years ago would be going gangbusters by now.

“People are anxious and uncertain about the economy,” Obama said in the opening of his speech, to which his basic message was, “How dare they?”

Obamalies, the lies about lying, then lies about lying about lying. Then, on the rare occasion that it actually slips up and tells the truth, it quickly reverts to lies and subterfuge to counteract and cover up the truth with more lies and deception.

“We spend less on domestic priorities outside Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid … than we did when Ronald Reagan was president. … You can look it up.”

Unemployment at 5% but we don’t count people who can’t find work.

My brother has an MBA. He is a veteran. He just landed a new job after his old one disappeared due to the company “downsizing”. He is now a part time forklift operator. Good times.

Don’t forget the underemployed, I know about that personally.

We don’t need ‘right wing media’ to tell us about the realities of the job market. FUBO

And his sheeple and Big Media (but I am being redundant) believe every word that comes out of his mouth. This country is in a world of hurt if the masses don’t awaken before the November election.

JD/MBA and currently working retail management. I can’t begin to count the blessings of Obamanomics.

Obama is an imbecile and needs a keeper to look after him. He is not only evil but very dangerous.

It wasn’t just the fabulous spin and “lying with numbers” in the speech, it’s the WHERE he did it. I can’t believe that he went to a city that has been especially hit with job exports, downsizing, offshoring of manufacturing. So, in short, he went there to remind the peasants just how good they have it, with their $300 flat screen TV, all the Ramen noodles they can eat, and $9.50 an hour part time jobs.

No doubt, this was a big deal there to have the President give a speech. I wonder how hard it was to find anyone for local interview with any comments that could actually be broadcast.

This man was never told, to his face, the thing he most needed to hear...Just STFU.

Imagine the grief the world would have been spared if some principled soul had done this.

basically, if you live in middle America and you question the crowned king Odumbo as speaking with forked tongue. The problem is Middle America does not have to believe a lying sack of dog excrement, they live it and yes Odumbo is basically a snake oil salesman whose elixir does not work on Middle America. Odumbo needs to go on yet another apology tour to MECCA and Medina. Allow the Muslims to have at him once and for all. see how long he lasts when the Saudis cannot hold the masses back the piece of excrement has to go on his pilgrimage to the most holy ( actually sinful) Muslim shrines to the worship of satan.

I am down to one thing in which I am in agreement with Obama. He knows and operates with the fact that just about half of America made up of stupid and delusional people that he can say anything and they will go with it.
Last point, I’m pretty sure Obama and his corrupt administration knew what the jobs report was going to look like which is why he pulled a pre-emptive strike in his BS speech before the report was released.
The sack of crap is a congenital liar.

I’ll tell you a REAL conspiracy theory. Or just a conspiracy thought, perhaps.

Do an autopsy on Mohammed Ali.

Rather sudden, and rather convenient timing when the socialists badly need a public distraction.

Just a thought.

Here’s the deal - a great indicator of how the economy is doing are interest rates - rates are now and have been for years at the very bottom with economy activity the only reason to increase them - that has not happened.

Anyone with some savings is getting screwed by Obama.

Interest rates would likely be where they are regardless of who is President. That’s not to say that there aren’t problems that are directly attributable to the present administration, there are, for instance healthcare insurance. I’d love to earn something more than a pittance on the savings that I’ve managed to hang onto, but realistically that isn’t going to happen for some time.

The entire left uses the same lie. Every leftist talking head repeats the same lie on every network. Alan Colmes is a perfect example of this lie.
