Santa Cruz Sentinel ^ | 2/5/16

President Barack Obama on Friday used a new jobs report to continue his victory lap on the economy - and jab at the Republicans vying for his job.

In brief remarks to reporters at the White House, Obama declared the U.S. has "the strongest, most durable economy in the world."

And what does Obama have to do with lower oil prices? Remember how the Democrats ridiculed Palin for "drill baby drill?

T. Boone Pickens dumped all of his oil holdings today. Hmmm, makes you wonder where BHO is getting his information.

The Usurper has done everything he could to boost the cost of energy.
World events have conspired against him, fortunately for the gas buying public.

The unemployment numbers are as phony as Mario Rubco

...Obama declared the U.S. has "the strongest, most durable economy in the world."

Our economy has endured 7 years of 0bama without totally collapsing yet so I guess that's a fair statement.

So I guess we can blame him for the stock market correction too.

The Kenyan lives in his own world. Reality means absolutely nothing to him. He believes everything that he hears his cronies regurgitate to the dumb unwashed masses when he’s the one who tells them to say it in the first place. You can’t have 4.9% unemployment when 95 million Americans are out of a job.

Ask him this one question: Mr. Obama, as President of the United States of America, how do you measure success?

highest number of unemployed adults in USA history

jobs exported en masse to foreign countries

he’s destroying industry by industry, sector by sector....
jobs by the millions

and all new jobs have gone to his precious immigrants these past seven years, too (see today’s economic press report)...NO net new jobs for Americans in USA,

he’s a very very successful ‘president’...at destroying America and the American economy, jobs

extremely successful

You have to bear in mind, he is preaching to the choir (his base) - and few people are less impacted by the job market than them.

AND A STOCK MARKET THAT IS DOWN NEARLY 6% THE LAST MONTH, NEARLY 10% THE LAST YEAR AND SIDEWAYS AT BEST FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS WHEN IT WAS NOT LOSING?

GREAT ECONOMY MY ASS!

WE’LL BE DANG LUCKY IF WE DON’T SEE A FULL BLOWN MELT DOWN THIS YEAR.

The best most can give it is “higher than it is now” by end of year.

What a dickweed!
