The Dear Leader doesn't live in reality. He actually thinks his economic
record is awesome and has turned the country around. Just ignore the numbers
that say the opposite, and you too can be Barack Hussein
Obama<http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/06/20/remarks-president-dnc-event-0>
.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. (Applause.) Thank
you, everybody. Please have a seat, have a seat.
It is wonderful to see all of you. *I've* got a lot of friends in the room
here. People who knew me before anybody could pronounce my name. (Laughter.)
People who knew me before *I* had gray hair. (Laughter.) It is wonderful to
see those of you who’ve been friends for a long time, and it’s wonderful to
see new friends here as well.
Same worn out lines from 2007. (Laughter). Here's comes a typical Obama
speech filled with "I," "Me," and "My."
What *I'd* like to do is to make some very brief remarks at the top and then
have a chance to take a few questions, because that will give us a chance to
have a dialogue, and you might have some suggestion that we haven’t thought
of. And it’s one of the great things about these kinds of events is people
here have so much expertise in so many different areas that it’s a wonderful
thing for *me* to be able to pick your brain as well as just you guys
hearing me chatter.
Democrats in the crowd: Let's spend more than we take in and then tell
people we need to raise their taxes to keep on spending. (Laughter)
We are obviously going through one of the toughest periods in American
history. We went through the worst financial crisis since the Great
Depression, and immediately after being elected, *I* had to take a series of
very difficult steps to rescue ourselves from the brink. We had lost 4
million jobs in the six months before* I* was sworn in; lost another 4
million during the period probably six months after* I* was elected. And so
as a consequence, we had to do some things that we didn’t expect we would
have to do, just to save the economy -- stabilize the financial system, make
sure that states and local governments didn’t have to lay off police
officers and cops and firefighters. We had to save an auto industry.* I* never
expected to be a automobile executive. (Laughter.)
What Obama left out is the numbers that are happening under his economic
policies are at Depression-era level. The numbers are worse and the Misery
Index <http://www.miseryindex.us/> proves this...along with economic
numbers, unemployment numbers, housing numbers and food stamp usage numbers.
All at record or Depression-era levels under the O man.
As a consequence of that swift, decisive, and sometimes difficult period, we
were able to take an economy that was shrinking by about 6 percent and
create an economy that is now growing, and has grown steadily now over many
consecutive quarters.* Over the last 15 months we’ve created over 2.1
million private sector jobs. (Laughter.)* We have an auto industry that, for
the first time in a very long time is profitable, and the Big Three
automakers actually gaining market share, and not only gaining market share,
but also gaining market share in the cars of the future so that they’re
actually competing in compact cars and sub-compact cars and electric cars
and hybrids.
Just ignore the Bureau of Labor Statistics that shows we have a job deficit,
not a 2.1 million surplus. How does one create jobs only to see the
unemployment jump almost 3 percentage points?
Obama also left out that the taxpayers, who bailed out GM and Chrysler, will
lose over $14 billion or how the Chevy Volt is a dud.
And so *I'm**extraordinarily proud of the economic record that we were able
to produce over the first two and a half years*, but having said all that,
the economy is still so tough for so many people around the country*. The
hole that was dug was so deep*. And most importantly, the reasons that
*I*decided to run for President in the first place still had not been
fully
addressed, because the fact is, is that even before this financial
crisis, *wages
and incomes had flat-lined for most Americans*. Those at the very top had
seen themselves do very well, but the bottom 95 percent, the bottom 90
percent, they were treading water at a time when their *cost of health care
and cost of college education, cost of groceries, cost of gasoline all were
going up*. And that was before the crisis hit. And now they’ve got to worry
about homes that have lost value and businesses that are just barely getting
by.
Just wait til you run on the economic record in 2012 (Laughter). The hole
was deep and Obama took it to historic levels. The cost of everything Obama
mentioned has went up even higher. As anyone with half a brain cell knows,
the numbers are worse under Obama.
And so although we’ve made a turn in a positive direction, the underlying
structural challenges that we face remain. And so the reason that 2012 is
important is because I did not just run for President to get us back to
where we were; I ran for President originally to move us to where we need to
be.
Obama can't name one area that is positive and continues to show he is
disconnected from reality. The overwhelming majority knows things are worse
under Obama. Go back to golfing Mr. President (Laughter).
