Obama’s Economic Disaster
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/06/15 | Al Caruba

Posted on 05/06/2015 7:18:04 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

The nation’s first black President has so poorly served the interests of the African-American population that they are worse off today

Commenting on the rioting in Baltimore, the Wall Street Journal’s Daniel Henniger was almost to the end of his April 30 text when he said “On Wednesday morning, the year’s first-quarter GDP growth rate came in—0.02%. Next to nothing. For the length of the Obama presidency, with growth significantly below norm, unemployment for blacks aged 24 and younger has hovered between 30% and 40%. That’s the real powder key, not the police.”

Most Americans do not put the state of the economy at the heart of everything else is occurring. Instead they listen to politicians apply the blame to everything other than themselves. President Obama spent his entire first term blaming George W. Bush for the bad state of the economy he inherited, but instead of addressing it, he increased it by imposing ObamaCare, radically altering how many would be hired while others were cut to a part-time status. The bill added a number of taxes as well.

I don’t care how bad the economy gets for Blacks. They will still vote 90% - 95% Democrat. It’s like stampeding cattle over a cliff. They will all follow the leaders.

As long as they can still get away with blaming Republicans, nothing will change.

All the manipulations and massaging and all they could cook up was an anemic 0.02 "growth". Let's face it, the real pre-cooked number is recession, the only question is how bad it was.

Yet blacks would vote for him again in a heartbeat. It shows a complete lack of comprehending cause/effect. Mental? Genetic? Public school? Not sure.

And no matter how bad it gets, it’s still YT’s fault.

LBJ hit the nail on the head when he said his War On Poverty would,"Have those Niggers voting Democrat for 50 years". His only mistake, he underestimated their fidelity.

Maybe LBJ was thinking that voting, in its traditional American form with integrity, would only continue another 50 years.

If so, he got it just about right.
