His
speech was about how he was going to really fix this economy now that Obamacare
is sucking all the life out of his second term.
The
media was falling all over each other to cover it. Look at this first paragraph
from Reuters:
Seeking
to recover from the bungled rollout of his healthcare reforms, President Barack
Obama went back to basics on Wednesday with a renewed focus on government
policies that benefit the struggling poor and middle classes.
Notice
that they wrote "policies that benefit the...," not "policies he say benefit" or
"policies he believes" or "policies Democrats believe."
Nope,
they just carry the water, like good propagandists.
Meanwhile,
no one is asking why, after five years in the White House, President Obama is
still trying to fix the economy?
The
income gap he's so concerned about grew
four times faster under him than it did under Bush.
He's
spent more money than not only any other president, not more than all the other
president combined, but any person in WORLD
HISTORY in his effort to fix things like John Maynard Keynes would have
done.
And
after five years, he's still promising to make it all better.
Why?
Because
rather than compromise on anything, he's spent every opportunity since voters
tossed the Democracts out of power in the House blaming everything on
Republicans. And his supporters are all too happy to join in.
Deficit
spending? That wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for two unfunded wars, which
were illegal, by the way.
Unemployment?
Republicans won't pass Obama's jobs bill. Never mind all those jobs bills
sitting on Harry Reid's desk. Look at the Republicans!
For
two years, from 2008 to 2010, the lunatics were running the asylum, and they
could do whatever they wanted.
And
it all failed.
Remember
when Biden announced 2010 would be the "Summer
of Recovery?"
I
do.
It
wasn't. Why?
The
fact is, if leftist policies worked, the Republicans wouldn't have won in 2010,
people wouldn't be losing their insurance and Obama wouldn't be talking about
the need to raise the minimum wage...again.
It's
half a decade of failure, disguised as "a renewed focus."
The
most factual line of coverage on this speech I read came from NPR, and it was
unintentional, but true nontheless.
The
president didn't propose any new measures in his speech.
Exactly.
There was nothing new. It was the same failed ideas we've heard for decades.
A
Surge, essentially, in the War on Poverty.
All
they need is just a little more government and they can make it all better.
