Obama: I spend most of my time on the economy

[PROCON]

President Obama's weekly remarks

Hi, everybody. As President, I spend most of my time focused on what we can do to grow the economy and grow new pathways of opportunity for Americans like you to get ahead.

And we’ve made progress. More than 12 million new private sector jobs in the past five years. More than 16 million Americans who’ve gained health insurance. More jobs creating more clean energy. More kids graduating from high school and college than ever before.

Obama: I spend most of my time on the economy

We are 5-6 years into the slowest recovery of record. We had a Q1 NEGATIVE GROWTH! We have a large increase in government intrusion in health care and in financial regulation. We also have a significant increase in government regulation of personal rights in land use and energy production.

Frankly, Mr President, maybe you need to consider reversing course! Perhaps you should invite your allies to do the same!

[Sir Napsalot]

Obama, haven’t you learned “economy” is not something you can community organize?

Such a slow wit, 7 and a half years “on the job” (note: I used the term loosely), you haven’t learned a thing.

On the other hand, if you want to reduce USofA to 3rd world country status, you did a bang up job.

There's a golf course named "The Economy"? Who knew!

[Norm Lenhart]

Nah He’d level Broadway and Park place and turn them into low rent housing, ake the railroads solar powered and thus useless, let everyone out of jail and like the player, not have to live there, simply sit outside it all.

That makes sense, now I know why GDP headed south.

Responding just to the headline, it shows.

“Hi, everybody.”

Good grief.

[Norm Lenhart]

No, “The golf course” is like “Air Force 1”. Whatever plane Barry is on is “Air Force 1” and every golf course Barry is on is “The economy”

Simple really.

[lonestar]

It’s the stupid economy!

[all the best]

That’s the problem. The President’s job isn’t to run the economy. It is an impossible job. Just back off. Laissez-nous faire.

It's next to impossible to believe:

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy.

<><> Obama knew nothing of Sid Blumenthal's emails (a man he banned from US govt employment).

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clintons' Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities.

<><> Congressional Democrats never got wind of it?

===================================================

BACKSTORY Hillary was hand-picked by Obama to run State. She ran it like a shadow govt....w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Obama never noticed that Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters.

The avaricious Clintons devised hundreds of obscure programs to collect billions.....bragging about do-goodism, how the money was supposedly dispersed to "assist" endless charitable projects.

Obama never noticed Bill trotting around the globe .... unappointed and unasked....using "charity" to worm his way into confidences of foreign leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities.

===========================================================

Obama's cut is wire transferred to his two foundations (two that we know of)?

The IRS looks the other way..... Obama perpetually smiles....Democrats look on w/ approval.

CONCLUSION Obama's protecting the Clintons---b/c they're his meal ticket. All of them are living happily ever after--getting rich on "tolerance and compassion."

Maybe he should try spending less time on the economy? Just a thought.....

This is a man who, prior to becoming POTUS, never had a real job in his life. Literally everything was handed to him.

1. Print 5 trillion more in monopoly money.

2. Let's go golfing.

[COBOL2Java]

Heh! Point well taken!

“Hi, everybody.”

Hi, Dr. Nick.

[Paladin2]

The GOPee Congress is a complicit enabler.

[Norm Lenhart]

BUTBUTBUT!!!! LESSER EVIL!!!

“That’s the problem. The President’s job isn’t to run the economy. It is an impossible job. Just back off. Laissez-nous faire.”

No, no, no. Central planning of the economy works, in theory. It just hasn’t been done right in practice. Ever. In any country that has tried. And every country that has tried has made the economy worse. And has led to a totalitarian or quasi-totalitarian government. Often with millions dead. But, in theory, it works!

(Is the /s even necessary?)

[exit82]

Good one!

[Vaduz]

He’s focused about as much as a dog looking at cars go by the idiot is clueless about anything to do with the job growth.
Next he will want to open a plant to make steering wheels for trains.
