The “Hey, It Could be Worse Tour.”
This week President Obama is starting his tour to get his message out to the public in what his administration hopes will bring up his numbers. His plan? To blame others. He’s going to do what he does best: talk. Talking got him elected and talking got him through the first year but now hopefully the public are over being enamored with this car salesman.
“So Obama tells voters every chance he gets that things would be a lot worse if not for the stimulus bill and other steps he took. At least the recession never became a depression, the president says.” from an AP article regarding President Obama’s victory tour. I wonder if this is what prisoners tell each other in North Korean political prisons, “Things could be worse–we could have been flogged today with vuvuzelas!” Things could be worse? I could have woken up this morning with my kidneys missing while sitting in a bathtub filled with ice in some strange motel I guess. So maybe I should vote Democrat?
America was promised many things, and President Obama has chosen to wipe away these promises like some type of dream we had. They promised to get unemployment below 8 percent. It’s been pretty much the opposite of that. We were told that the stimulus programs would have tangible results but this was also a lie, a spoon fed lie they are now trying to cover up. And also, another big doozie in the heap of goods we were sold: we were told that this administration had added millions of jobs. And unless this job-force was specializing in invisible people, then we were lied to again.
So when he speaks on your television program of choice over the next couple of weeks, do me a favor: turn down the sound of what he’s saying, the doublespeak, and think about real, tangible results. There have been none. In fact, a simple argument can be made that he has hurt the comeback. Because America always bounces back, unless it is trying to be Europe.
