Barack Obama went before the TV cameras today and declared that when it comes to the U.S. economy, ″the private sector is doing fine.″ Oh REALLY!? I suppose the 23-odd million American adults who are either jobless or under-employed should be kicking themselves for not pursuing careers in teaching, law enforcement and trash pick-up. Obama thinks the big problem we face is not enough government jobs. He does think that there are ′headwinds′ in the EuroZone, with Greece and other countries on the verge of default. But Obama′s solution to that is more spending, more deficits and more taxes.
The other day I wrote about Obama being delusional and I′m sure that many people just shook their heads and thought ′Andy is delusional.′ But when our fearless leader stands up and makes claims as he did today, how far from the truth am I? Just look at how the Obama administration likes to talk about creating 4 million green jobs. This week, during Congressional hearings, we learned what constitutes a ′green job.′ Working at a record resale shop is one example. Actually, working at any resale shop counts. So too does driving a school bus.
I wish I could take credit for making this stuff up, but I cannot. Obama and his ignorant minions are believe this nonsense. Is it any wonder that a few Democrats who still have some grip on reality, like Ed Rendell, have come out an criticized Obama recently? They see the handwriting on the wall.
So Barack Obama thinks that the private sector is doing fine. I′ve got news for you, Obama…, you are INSANE! The private sector is in survival mode. They are hunkered down, defending themselves from endless assaults of new government regulations and the rapidly approaching ′Tax-Aggedon′ next January. Of course, the latter could be avoided if Obama listened to Bill Clinton and renewed the Bush Tax Cuts BEFORE the end of the year. But Obama will not do that.

That’s just not true. Major corporations are making money had over fist, they just are not hiring anyone. They are waiting until after the election. Most big companies are owned and operated by conservatives. Why should they hire anyone? Why should they do anything at all to help the economy? They want the Democrats and Obama to fail this fall, so their budgets for this year have little in them for hiring and expansion. Look at their balance sheets. Major corporations today are sitting on more cash than ever before.

Out of touch elitist.

That statement is the kind of statement that sends me into a 1/2 hour senseless diatribe.
So I’ll spare us all by compression.
What a focking idiot

Ah, Klo, but those “Major Corporations” are sitting on cash because they are afraid to spend it. Thanks to Obama, we face an uncertain future with new regulations enacted everyday and the threat of higher taxes and costs around every corner.
Besides that, the vast majority of the “private sector” is NOT “Major Corporations.” Small businesses have been the driving force of our economy. They hire the majority of new workers. Just Obama-Care alone has forced small businesses to only hire a new employee in extreme cases.

I hate to say it, butt you make some sense, this morn. Only diff is, I think what you say is a good thing.
If business people ‘ sitting on their cash ‘ has one scintilla of influence on the election, so be it.
At the rate this clown is going, he is torpedoing himself. I think even the most ardent Liberals are thinking that ‘Feel Good’ affirmative action hires in the White House, isn’t such a good idea.
In the end, four years of the ‘Man With No Past’ and his hateful racist wife, has done irreparable damage to blacks. For one thing, The Race Card is OVER. It has been very useful and effective for some sixty years. This little Flash In The Pan Pimp has ruined it for those blacks that won’t be strolling into the sunset with millions.
After that Amazon divorces him, Botswana Barry will once again be scratching for nickels and dimes. I’m bettin’ he’ll go into Interior Design or perhaps he can drum up a market for those pants Eldridge Cleaver was trying to hock.

Kattle…
First of course he’ll lose.
The Florida Bush/Gore fiasco will look like a segment of jackass.
Then the talk show.
Then a book he can use to push the talk show to sell, a book full of Bushs diabolic schemes, affair with Michelle etc that got him where he is that day

Blacks aside Kattle, this man will have destroyed the Democrat Party by the time this is over and he’ll be a bigger pariah than Jimmy Carter.
Democrat candidates will be persona non grata for years on both the state and national levels.
My black friends are already bemoaning the fact that, because of Obama, they’ll never see another black president. I assure them that they will, only next time he’ll be a Republican.

Are we already agreeing that when Obama loses in November, that there will be riots in the streets?
June 10th, 2012 at 5:14 am
Andy…
I bet money on it couple weeks ago.
They’ll burn their own neighborhood down, liquor stores and bars across the country will lock up and board up.
Mitt will have every right to cry about what he inherits

You’re not alone. I’ve been hearing the same from others lately.

“Are we already agreeing that when Obama loses in November, that there will be riots in the streets?”
I don’t see it. At least not on a massive scale. There will be some trouble in certain areas that will involve the usual culprits, ie, those that loot after a natural disaster or riot after their home town team wins a championship. The opportunists!!
I expected a much different response from blacks after he was elected. I thought there would be a dramatic drop in crime in black neighborhoods as they embraced Obama as a role model. That didn’t happen. It was more like a novelty that quickly wore off and the euphoria quickly evaporated as they returned to business as usual.
My friends all hope that he’ll be reelected if for no other reason than he may be able to redeem himself in a second term. However, they see the writing on the wall and know deep down that he hasn’t been very effective. They don’t confuse loyalty with reality.

He was elected as token black.
In most workplaces even though racist as hell. still needed a symbol of appearance that they were equal opportunity employers, juxtaposed to America, the world and so guilty liberals could feel good about themselves.
If I was black and voted for him I would be upset not because he made blacks look unqualified. Theres a million black men with much less grooming than him that could run this country better. If I was black and did vote for him on less substantiveness reasons I’d be very angry because he did destroy the chance they gave him to prove equality when in all actuality its disgusting that these reasons are why he was chosen.
Okay world, are you happy now ? See, we did it. We created the worlds first black American.
But intead of making progress with the first history making black president you didnt care if he had brains or character.
And that is not a black/race thing.
Its liberal bullsht that made us look like a bunch of idiots for making one of the most important decisions of our lives based on your brand of racism that is no different than before we did away with blackface.
“You’re black so you need help, because you’re a victim of a 100 year old bigotry thats almost obsolete “…
is just as bad and nasty and degrading for ignoring those who truly are victims of racism.
Because of this political tool you will always believe you’re an entitled victim.
You been voting democrat for 50 years now. Hows it workin out for you ?

You hit the nail on the head, Micky. Doesn’t matter if Blacks and Hispanics are doing far worse now under Obama than when GWBush was Prez.
