Title: "The president. . . seems incapable of stimulating the economy or the voters"
Post by: Gaspar on June 04, 2012, 08:22:22 am
The power of Bill Clinton truly is absolute.  After a few damming words the liberal media begins to turn on President Obama

Maureen Dowd has lost the tingle.

On Thursday, Bill Clinton once more telegraphed that he considers Obama a lightweight who should not have bested his wife. Bluntly contradicting the Obama campaign theme that Romney is a heartless corporate raider, Clinton told CNN that the Republican’s record at Bain was “sterling.”

On Friday, an ugly job market report led to the stock market’s worst day of the year. As the recovery flat-lined, the president conceded to a crowd at a Honeywell factory in Golden Valley, Minn., that “our economy is still facing some serious headwinds” and getting sucked further into Europe’s sinkhole. In depressing imagery for the start of the summer campaign, cable channels carried the red Dow arrow pointing down while Obama spoke; the Dow wiped out all of its 2012 gains.

The president who started off with such dazzle now seems incapable of stimulating either the economy or the voters. His campaign is offering Obama 2012 car magnets for a donation of $10; cat collars reading “I Meow for Michelle” for $12; an Obama grill spatula for $40, and discounted hoodies and T-shirts. How the mighty have fallen.

Maybe the cat collar and a pair of these might look good...

But, it’s not his fault!  It’s the obstinate Tea Baggers in Congress!  It’s the greedy corporatists and GOP bundlers who have no problem hurting millions by not giving them well-deserved jobs until after Obama is out!  It’s Faux News!  It’s Bush!  It’s the bogeyman in my closet!

Anyone notice when you challenge someone to point out all the great economic accomplishments in this administration, the answer is blame for something else or simply devolves into personal attacks?

DUDE!  YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.  YOU'RE DELUSIONAL!

Anyone who can't see the amazing accomplishments of this president is smoking bath salts.

Fixed for appropriate government school grammar.  Otherwise, spot-on!

You're so far off it colors the road.  PM me and I'll explain it.  Don't have lunch in front of you though.

I'll just leave this here. It's inflation and population adjusted government spending. Enjoy some fact.

Spending cuts are now stimulus. Got it.

Nice pic, btw. It looks like my third cousin twice removed's wife.

To all, think of the CJC in here, sans the imagery.

You've heard it everywhere else.  Here's Obama singing it:
