October 2, 2014, OBAMA: “So it is indisputable that our economy is stronger today than when I took office. By every economic measure, we are better off now than we were when I took office.”
Every economic measure. Really? I wonder what color the sky is in the world in which Oblivious lives. Because in this world the economic outlook is quite different. In fact, it’s bleak, as Lou Dobbs points out:
- The national debt, when Mr. Obama came into office: $10.6 trillion. Today: $17.8 trillion.
- Median household income, back then, was nearly $57,000. Now it’s down to $54,000.
- The labor participation rate back then was nearly 66 percent. It’s now 63 percent.
- The home ownership rate back then: 67 and a half percent. Today under 65 percent.
- The number of Americans on food stamps, then: 32 million. Now: 46 million
This is “better off”? If he truly believes this he’s dangerously delusional. But most likely, he’s just bullsh**ing. He likes to say “let me be clear” just before slinging scat. This is just more of the same. The one thing that is perfectly clear to most people: he’s a world class bullsh**er.
