Obama Blames 'Right-Wing Radio' for Making 'People Think Big Government is the Problem'

"It's pumped into cars and bars and VFW halls all across America."

President Obama visited Elkhart, Indiana on Wednesday and during a town hall meeting blamed "right-wing radio" for distorting his economic record and for making "people think big government is the problem."

"I hope you don't mind me being blunt about this," the president said, "but I've been listening to this stuff for a while now and I'm concerned when I watch the direction of our politics."

When Obama visited Elkhart seven years ago, the unemployment rate was near 20%. Now, he boasts that the rate has dropped to around 4% in the city and 5% across the state. 

The president seems to be on a legacy tour, promoting his tenure in the last remaining months he has at the White House. So, every opportunity must be used to blame the vast right-wing conspiracy, especially Fox News and talk radio:

"I mean, we have been hearing this story for decades: tales about welfare queens, talking about takers, talking about the '47 percent'. It's the story that is broadcast every day on some cable news stations, on right-wing radio. It's pumped into cars and bars and VFW halls all across America, and right here in Elkhart. And if you're hearing that story all the time, you start believing it.

"It's no wonder people think big government is the problem."

We don't need talk radio to tell us big government is the problem, Mr. President. Our Founding Fathers warned of it long ago.

$21 trillion in debt will buy a lot of fake recovery and hide the crimes of crooked politicians.

The Demagogic Party is actually the culprit. What a dumbass.

[Holdem Or Foldem]

The only real growth in the last seven plus years has been in Obama’s list of people and things he hates.
for example; guns, bibles, that tired old religion that people still cling to, right wing radio, and posts by Moonman62.

There you go Moon. You are famous at last. ;)

Looks like it won’t be long before the true baraq shows himself.

I don't know about UNemployment but EMployment in "Elkhart-Goshen" areas looks to be about at 1994 levels WOO-HOO ...

That IS impressive.

Did Ford move a factory to Elkhart?

The only “job” this asshat maybe qualified for is as a lawn jockey.

[Lurkus Maximus]

I agree. Unfortunately, some “Americans” are so blinded by agenda that they are willing to lie and misdirect and misreport that they cant admit to or see the truth.

See what the U-6 unemployment rate is for Elkhart and the state....

It is probably 10-12%...

Obama is probably quoting the U-3 rate...
