By every economic measure, we are better off now than we were when I took office. You wouldnt know it, but we are, the president said Friday.
Thats right, the president the president of the United States, mind you says Americans are better off, they just dont know it.
That is the height to which the president has raised his level of mendacity. He has the sheer audacity to tell Americans that he has successfully turned the economy around, that things are all good, but that there are no real quantifiable indicators by which they could ever know that.
In fact, Mr. Obama says Americans have never had it so good.
Over the past 51 months, our businesses have created 9.4 million new jobs, he said at a feel-good stop in Minnesota. Our housing market is rebounding. Our auto industry is booming. Our manufacturing sector is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s. Weve made our tax code fairer. Weve cut our deficits by more than half. More than 8 million Americans have signed up for private insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act.
Of course, as usual with the president, none of that is true. In 2007, there were 146.6 million Americans employed. Last month, there were 145.7 million people in the workforce. But its all worse than that. The labor force participation rate dropped more than 3 percentage points, which equals nearly 8 million people. Now, just 62.8 percent of working-age Americans hold jobs, a dismal number thats the lowest in 35 years....

He believes it.
It comes from his narcissism. Because he is president, everything is perfect — like in North Korea.
The Audacity of Mendacity. A more appropriate title for Bammy’s autobiography
WTF??
No you wouldn't know it.
Barack Obama: "We're better off now than we were when I took office. You wouldn't know it, but we are".

You can put all the chocolate you want on a turd, still doesn’t make it a twinkie.
Yet, May’s federal tax receipts were a record high for that month.
Carl Sagan’s:
One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If weve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. Were no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. Its simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that weve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
“You wouldnt know it, but we are,
LOL!
“...the simple expedient of cutting our income in half.”
Right now our household income is LITERALLY 1/2 what is was when Obama took office.
Is that directly his fault? In honesty, no, I don’t think so. But he ain’t helping!
This guy is mentally ill and unstable. It seems like he’s getting ready to go off the deep end.
Holy crap. When was this?

Bath house Barry is right as always. You see, when he says WE he means himself and Moochelle.
I lost my job, got my insurance cancelled, and have suffered a major loss of family income because of that ass#ole.
Fooled me too. NOT!
We have aborted more babies in one year than we got new jobs in our economy.
He's contradicting himself.
I doubt his advisors even told him about that number.
Or he’s just a natural born sociopath, they lie with straight faces too, due to lack of a conscience.
