According to nearly everyone’s favorite faux journalist and very devoted Barry apologist, Juan Williams, Barry may just be "on to something" with his statements that echo President Ronald Reagan's famous question that asked voters if they are better off today than they were four years ago. Now I don’t know about any of you, but I for one can very safely say that I am in no way better off than I was the day this America-hating socialist first stepped foot into the Oval Office. I’m now paying more than I was then for everything!
Williams does his best to perpetuate the idiotic myth that Barry has somehow engineered an economic ‘recovery’ in this country. He claims that, "'On Obama’s watch, 5.1 million jobs have also been added to payrolls, the S&P/Case-Shiller national home price index is up about 17 percent and the S&P 500 stock index has more than doubled while hitting all-time records.'" But what Juan conveniently leaves out is the fact that it’s also been on Barry’s watch that the nation’s workforce has been made to shrink by over 10 Million workers.
Williams seems to take great pleasure in pointing out that the unemployment rate has been lower for the past five months than during the last five years, and is now at 6.1 percent. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones industrial average is near an all-time high, now regularly closing at over 17,000 points. Look, as far as the unemployment numbers go, I think we can all safely agree that those numbers have now gotten to point where they have become meaningless. And the 17,000 Dow to which he refers, is just as phony as the unemployment numbers.
Also it’s also according to Juan that consumer confidence is also up to its highest point in nearly seven years. And Barry, just this past Sunday, said on CBS' "60 Minutes" that he plans to spend the weeks before the November midterm election campaigning for Democrats, or at least those willing to be in the same room with him, on his economic record, and that he would put it "against any leader around the world in terms of digging ourselves out of a terrible, almost unprecedented financial crisis." Good luck with that!
Because most Americans seem to be more than just a little skeptical when it comes to the rather questionable claims heard coming from Barry and his many supporters like Juan make when it comes to our supposed booming economy. Most don't seem to believe that he’s handling the economy all that well. And a CNN poll released just today would seem to show that 42 percent of respondents said they approve of how Barry is handling the economy, and just 44 percent gave him a favorable job performance rating.
Barry did admit on Sunday that Americans aren't feeling the recovery, but of course he accepted none of the blame, blaming it instead on what he called the fact that on incomes and wages that are not increasing. That problem can be addressed through Democrat policy, said Barry, and he plans to convince Americans that the economy has actually improved during his presidency. Right, now if you believe that then I’ve some wonderful ocean front property in Arizona that I’ll let you have dirt cheap. How it is that he can even make such claims?
And as Williams points out, Barry's job approval, when it comes to the economy, has a negative ranking, with RealClearPolitics showing that 55 percent of Americans disapprove of the way he’s handling of the economy, with only 40 percent approving. The economy is the top issue to voters, Williams said, so Democrats will need to work to turn the negative numbers around. And it’s also worth noting here that it has been on Barry’s economic watch that median household incomes have fallen by some $2,100.
According to old Juan, Democrats and Barry both say wages are down because those evil Republicans are just not working hard enough to boost wages, and have refused to back efforts to raise the minimum wage. But as we know there is a reason for that. Further, Democrats say the House refused to extend unemployment benefits for people who have been unemployed for longer terms. But if Barry’s economy is doing as well as Juan claims it is, then why is that we have people who have been out of work long enough for their ‘benefits’ to run out?
And then in demonstrating the fact that he can only be smokin, snortin’ or shootin’ up what must be some pretty powerful shit, Juan actually said that Barry may be playing the right card when it comes to campaigning on the economy. And in what I’m not quite sure was an attempt to convince himself or possibly others, Juan said, "If the midterms turn into a referendum on which party to trust to boost middle-class wages, look for Democrats to hold the Senate." But the fact is, it has been the Democrats who have done their best to destroy our economy
Let’s face it, Williams is nothing but a pathetic hypocrite who has demonstrated time and again that he is a guy willing to say absolutely anything in trying to get his team elected. And I think we all realize that if we now had a Republican in the White House who was putting up the same kind of economic numbers as is his BFF Barry, Juan and his many leftwing media friends be hammering that president 24/7. The plain fact of the matter is that Juan has zero credibility when it comes to just about any topic on which he might choose to speak.
