How’s that summer of recovery working for you right now?
That is, those of you who are actually working?
Well, President Obama feels your pain…and your recovery, too.
In fact, on Friday, the Deflector in Chief declared we are over the recession. Did you miss it? Well, let me inform you. In an interview with NBC News, Obama said:
“The midterm congressional elections could come down to ‘a choice between the policies that got us into this mess and my policies that got us out of this mess.’”
Did you know we were “out of this mess”? I had no idea. I also didn’t know his policies were the salve that healed our economic wound. Unfurl that old “Mission Accomplished” banner from the battleship, folks. We’ve got another reason to use it!
Let’s see…how exactly can current facts and figures show we’re “out of this mess” :
May housing starts sank to the lowest levels in five months.
June unemployment numbers are 9.5% nationwide; real unemployment is still in the upper teens.
On Friday, the stock market fell over 260 points.
Consumer confidence dropped to its lowest levels in a year.
Yep. We’re out of it. Woohoo!
This is a president who is completely out of touch and detached from reality. If he would only start believing the press clips that are being written about him today versus the ones written in December 2008, he might come off of his egotistical high long enough to realize this isn’t a political game anymore. It’s time to put on some big boy pants and make tough decisions – decisions that won’t always please those in his party but will please the American people.
The story continued: “The president said in the interview he believes voters ‘are going to say the policies that got us into this mess, we can't go back to.’ He also said Washington ‘has spent an inordinate amount of time on politics — who's up and who's down — and not enough on what we're doing for the American people.’”
Ah. Washington has spent too much time on politics. Thank goodness he’s not there and a grand part of it, right? How’d that health care political deal you cut with retiring Congressman Bart Stupak play out, Mr. President? Surely that wasn’t political, right? No, of course not. That was just the price of getting things done, right?
When Bush left the White House, I sure hope he left the keys to the shed out back. They’ll need it to stick that “Mission Accomplished” banner on the front lawn. Maybe they can hire some people to drive the posts for that sign. That’d be the only positive thing Obama has done for job growth since he took office.
