Here's why:
The first comment I really found odd was his recent notion that the disarming and dismantling of Syria's chemical weapons supply was actually his idea. That really raised a red flag with me. The psychological and personality issues surrounding such a delusional deception to oneself is troubling to say the least. Then he claimed credit again even as I'm told the deal defers outside intervention for the foreseeable future. Or is that just my war-promoting newspaper giving as all a fake again? They said the French invasion of Mali would be months away, and weeks later they went it. In any case, Obomber reserves the right to commit war crimes.
Yesterday was what did it for me, though. In the small clip I saw of the remarks he made about the Washington Navy Yard shooting his eyes looked heavy and he looked like he was on drugs. That only added to my concerns. It was the comments he made about the economy that were startling:
"Obama, conceding lingering problems such as a stubbornly high jobless rate and a growing income gap between the richest and poorest Americans, noted that the country has come far from where it was five years ago ‘‘but that’s not the end of the story. As any middle-class family will tell you or anybody who’s striving to get in the middle class, we are not yet where we need to be.... After all the progress that we've made over these last four and a half years, the idea of reversing that progress is the height of irresponsibility.’’ The president said that he inherited the financial ills when he was elected in 2008."
Did he just pass the buck? After five years and a filibuster-proof Congress for the first two? He hasn't fixed the ills after five years? Then why the hell did the American people bother to have him selected for them?
And is it just me, or are these "ceremonies" commemorating the collapse of Lehman Brothers odd? Who celebrates such things?
And ABOUT THAT ECONOMY he is TALKING UP:
"Rates of unemployment for the lowest-income families — those earning less than $20,000 — have topped 21 percent, nearly matching the rate for all workers during the 1930s Great Depression."
That is not counting those not counted because they gave up looking for work and are sponging of friends and relatives now, and history will record the current one as the Grand Depression.
"The 400 people posted a combined net worth of $2 trillion, up from $1.7 trillion a year ago. That marks their highest combined value ever. The increases aren’t surprising, given that net worth for the wealthiest people has risen in the years since the financial crisis, widening the gap between the exceptionally well-to-do and the rest of the country."
Yeah, that was TRILLION with a CAPITAL T!
"Since the recession officially ended in June 2009, the top 1 percent have enjoyed the benefits of rising corporate profits and stock prices: 95 percent of the income gains reported since 2009 have gone to the top 1 percent compared with a 1 percent increase for the remaining 99 percent."
Which means the remaining 99% saw a decline when the Fed's monetary inflation (prices up because of continued printing of $85 billion to buy up Wall Street's crap every month. No one else is buying AmeriKan bonds or investing in AmeriKa anymore. I know the banker's mouthpiece isn't telling you that, but....) and deflation (because of the Fed's actions your dollar's purchasing power is a lot less, American) is taken into account.
Yup, corporate profits hit a record high and are in a golden age but the labor market $till $tinks. Judging by the time frame, this economy is on the verge of collapse -- thus the need to rush to war!
"The richest Americans got richer during the first two years of the economic recovery while average net worth declined for the other 93 percent of US households, a report released Tuesday said."
Then the "recession" never ended, and we are in the midst of the Great Depression and yet you would never know it by the corporate pre$$:
"The economy is showing strength as summer ends. Still, most of the growth in the number of people working is due to fewer layoffs rather than strong hiring. Many employers remain reluctant to fill jobs. Also, many of the jobs created this year have been part-time positions in industries with generally low pay, such as hotels, retailers, and restaurants. Such jobs leave consumers with less money to spend."
Thanks to Obombercare, but Obomber says that's progress and it's the official lie so the Fed can stop the printing pre$$es before the money supply balloon explodes.
And what that pos propaganda is telling you is there IS NO JOB GROWTH! Holding on to the job and not being laid off is NOT GROWTH!
Looks like Obomber has company in the insane ward of the asylum.
"Americans’ cautious spending on clothing extended into August, capping a weak back-to-school selling season for retailers. The results raise questions about whether Americans will spend during the winter holidays in November and December. While the back-to-school season, which runs from mid-July through mid-September, is not an absolute predictor of how Americans will spend during the winter holidays, it does offer insight into consumers’ mindset. Thursday’s tally adds to evidence that while jobs are easier to get and the turnaround in the housing market is gaining momentum."
But the conomy is showing strength says an article that was published the same day on the preceding page of my newspaper. Talk about mixed me$$ages as they are ALREADY PROMOTING CHRISTMAS?
UPDATES:
"But a report out today from the National Priorities Project (NPP) shows that the country is handing more than $1 trillion to the already-wealthy. That’s right, the government is cutting services and laying off hundreds upon hundreds of thousands in the name of cutting deficits, while handing more than $1 trillion a year to the wealthiest. The rest of us pay taxes and suffer cuts in jobs and services to make up this lost money. According to the report, lots of 1%ers will pay no taxes at all this year....

Looks like stealing to me.

Gee, that's one anniversary the corporate media is missing.

These are the benefits of the economy as Obomber sees them. No wonder his approval ratings are way down.
At least his party will reign him in, right?
"On Monday, Obama sought to recenter the focus on the economy. Chris Lehane, a former Clinton adviser, said that while Obama has “a year or so left to get something done domestically,” the current political situation might require a new approach. “It’s thinking about what you as president can do that doesn’t necessarily require Congress.”
I'm sorry, but that is an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE, a violation of the U.S. Constitution, and a dictatorship -- and there is likely nothing worse on this earth than an insane dictator in charge of AmeriKa's military arsenal.
And while we are on the topic of lying and the economy, check out this whopper:
"The fight pits Democrats against Republicans on how to address the series of across-the-board cuts known as sequestration. Democrats want to alter many of the cuts and replace about half of them with tax increases on corporations and high-earning individuals. Republicans, who gave ground on taxing high earners during the budget showdown at the end of last year, generally oppose any tax increases and want to restore military funding while making deeper cuts to domestic programs."
I guess he doesn't even read his own paper.
That's one hell of a tax "increase," huh?
Yeah, everything is responsible for the imploding economy except the private central banking Ponzi scheme known as the Federal Reserve -- or so says the banker's mouthpiece.
I must be insane for reading it.
That's the definition, right? Keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result?
Every day I open it expecting to find some truth, and yet every day it is loaded with distortions, obfuscations, omissions, divisions, distractions, elitist insults, and outright lies.
