OBAMA = LIAR

We all remember the famous scene from 1977's Star Wars. Sir Alec Guinness waives his hand to the storm trooper and says, "These aren't the 'droids you're looking for, they can move along." Barack Obama is trying to apply the same technique to the American people in regards to whether the non-stimulus stimulus bill worked or not. The polls show the American people might finally have become immune to the Obama Jedi ways.
Back in February, when the Obama economic team did the full-court press for why we had to have the stimulus now, they said without the "stimulus" bill, unemployment might climb as high at 9%, and with the stimulus in place, unemployment would top out at 8.5%. Well, the Democrats got their stimulus, and the unemployment number sailed way past their dire prediction of 9%.
Remember when Barack Obama told Americans that Joe Biden would keep track of every dime of the stimulus? Remember when ol' Joe himself appeared on television and announced the new website to help him account for the money, if he just knew what the "numbers" of the website address were to give to people? It turns out the one place that is going to see a major influx of stimulus money is Joe Biden's stimulus tracking website. It is currently dysfunctional, and is slated to get an $18 million dollar taxpayer-paid for makeover. In case you aren't in the website design field, let me tell you. $18 million dollars can not only build you a top notch website, it can build you about 20 top notch websites.
In Ghana, Obama defended his stimulus plan, and make no mistake, this is his albatross, by saying, "It has already extended unemployment insurance and health insurance to those who have lost their jobs in this recession." The problem is, that's not what the stimulus was intended to do. It was all about job creation - shovel-ready work projects. Extending the welfare safety net isn't economic stimulus. It's welfare extension.
As Lawrence Kudlow notes over at National Review's The Corner,
Here’s the clincher: Year-to-date, Dow Jones stocks are off 7 percent, while China stocks are up 71 percent. The world index is up 4 percent. Emerging markets are up 25 percent. They’re all beating us. None of this is good.
We’re going the wrong way. That’s why stock markets are not voting for the United States anymore.
Obama is a hack.
Jedi my arse.
That statement goes a long way towards explaining why his top-heavy prequel trilogy sucked so, so, so bad.
He even has the hypnotic gestures to go with it!Don't try your stupid Obama Mind Tricks one me!
OBAMA = LIAR
I saw it work on an American reporter in Europe the other day. The reporter asked Zero why he was saying one thing in America and another thing in Europe.
Obama said “I’m saying this now and that’s what I want you to report”. The reporter nodded and sat like an obedient puppy.
LOL Biden reminds me of Bill the cat from the Opus cartoons.
“they said without the “stimulus” bill, unemployment might climb as high at 9%, and with the stimulus in place, unemployment would top out at 8.5%. “
FALSE....
The Congressional Budget Office reported the 8.5% figure not the Obama Administration.
Warren Buffett and Paul Klugman among other prominent figures are now calling for a second stimulus bill, sighting the original CBO estimates of how severe the recession were not complete.
But Hey, why let a little thing like facts and truth get in your way of a good smear story, right?
