On the final full day of campaigning in the 2012 race for the White House, President Obama is being blasted for a speech he gave in Madison, Wis., a speech his opposition calls “delusional.”
“We tried our ideas. They worked. The economy grew. We created jobs. Deficits went down,” Obama said Monday.
“We tried their ideas. They didn’t work. The economy didn’t grow, not as many jobs, and the deficit went up. But here’s the thing. Governor Romney’s a very talented salesman..."
“This is just delusional,” opined radio giant Rush Limbaugh, reacting to Obama’s suggestion that deficits have gone down in this administration. “This is our president, folks, entirely totally completely delusional. He’s not there. The elevator is not going to the top floor today…This is worthy of men in the white coats…I wonder if he knows what he’s saying. It’s on the prompter …I wonder if he believes what he’s saying.”
Obama himself stressed during his Madison speech that he doesn’t utter anything he doesn’t intend to say.
“You know that I say what I mean and I mean what I say,” the president noted.
“Deficits went down?” Limbaugh continued. “You know, not even his supporters believe this...Which Obama idea has worked? Stimulus? Obamacare? Green energy? Arab Spring? Name one. What Obama idea has worked?..."
“The national debt has had almost $6 trillion added to it. That’s done by way of a deficit every year that is over a trillion dollars. We never had trillion-dollar annual deficits until Obama. One of Bush’s last deficits was a mere $257 billion. This deeply concerns me. I know politicians lie, and I know they want to put a good spin on everything. But this, folks, I’m tongue-tied. This is not just political lying. This isn’t trying to pull wool over people’s face..."

GO ROMNEY/RYAN!!!
Snarling Mama Robinson has probably needled 3 dozen romney dolls by now.
The First Mooch probably keeps her well supplied with chicken bones to read
I heard Rush say this today. He is right but all I could think of was “boy is there going to be a media sh!storm over this tomorrow!”
I think Zippy was trying to take credit for the Clinton years.
He’s recycling TOTUS speeches from ‘08!
video clip?
Give it a rest.
Agreed. All we know at this point is it won’t be tea. (as opposed to cool-aide)
Here’s what I found:

Where is Michelle? Has she been campaigning with Barry?

For those of you who might think Rush made this up, here's a Reuters article with the above Obama speech quote: Obama, Romney focus on swing states in late campaigning
Election Eve, I s'pose, with the MSM trying to get some rest before their long day tomorrow, becomes a day where you can suddenly get away with sayin' anything...and like a dead man, they won't respond...or twitch...or anything???
I went to the Badger game a little over a week ago in Madison and there were hardly any 0bamabot campaigners there at all. I remember in 2008, the 0bama zombies were out in full force for at least two football weekends before the election. Even the Walker recall petition effort in the fall of 2011 generated many more zombies for the Dems. I pray that this is just one more sign of Leftist demoralization.
I knew there’d be at least one who would cry ‘racism’ over that post.
thank you for proving my instincts correct
True. Hannity had the voice clips on his radio show.
Including
“We’ve added 1.9 million jobs to the economy”
“We are less dependent on foreign oil”
Although at least with those they may be telling the “truth”. But 1.9 million (or whatever the number was) part-time jobs when 2.5 million were seeking full-time work. And less dependent on foreign oil because our economy is so poor the demand is so bad.
But yes, he also had these out-and-out lies too.
Wow! What a PUTZ! Delusional doesn’t begin to describe Obama.
That about sums it up.
