Biden Says Obama, Not Bush, Should Get Credit for Economy
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 30 Sep 2011 | John Semmens

Insisting that “things are much better than most people think,” Vice-President Joe Biden said he is “comfortable with the idea of phasing former President George Bush out of the conversation when it comes to the economy.”

“A narrow focus on unemployment and deficits misses the overarching improvements we have achieved since Barack Obama took office,” Biden cautioned. “Look, if you’re among the 9% who are unemployed it’s a bummer. But if you’re one of the 91% who has a job your commute to work is easier since fewer people will be driving to jobs on the streets you use. So, I’d say the vast majority are clearly better off for this reason alone.”

Another benefit cited by Biden was the concomitant reduction in air pollution. “You know, cars are one of the main sources of noxious emissions,” Biden reminded. “With fewer of them on the road the air is cleaner. And since everyone breathes this is a gain for 100% of the population, even the minority that is unemployed.”

Biden also emphasized “the bright side of deficits,” saying that “these shortfalls have awakened the public to the need for higher taxes. When budgets are balanced it’s hard to make the case for raising taxes. But with the solvency of the nation at stake, more people are rallying to the support of their government.”

The vice-president urged voters to “not lose sight of the gains we’ve made. As the President has said, ‘we’ve achieved 80% of what we set out to do.’ Now is not the time to turn our backs on the positive strides President Obama has made. There can be no gain without pain. We need to stay the course and push through the pain in order to continue toward the promised transformation of America that the people voted for in 2010.”

In related news, former President Bill Clinton warned voters to “not be swayed by the siren song of individualism that’s being peddled by the Tea Party fanatics. So called ‘rugged individualism’ is a myth. The idea that a person can or should be expected to take care of himself or herself defies common sense. Government is, and always has been, the well-spring of human progress. To suggest that the current level of government control, direction, and regulation might be more of a hindrance than a help is pure nonsense.”

here / there you go again...but, this is just grand....

..to paraphrased from Reagan's 1980 Campaign:
When your neighbor loses his job, its' a recession.
When you lose your job, its' a depression.
When Jimmah "Malaise" Carter lose his, its' the beginning of the recovery!"
(substitute Barrack Hussein OBama for Jimmah J. Carter)
“Are you better off than you were four years ago?”
REPEAT OFTEN AS NECESSARY!

Haha. John you got me this time. I fell for it big time.

That's because what he writes is plausible. There have been a few articles that were real, but I had to check and see if they were John's.

This idiot come in and brings his pals with him. People who know even less than he. A pervert to be School safety Czar. A Jobs Czar who sent all of his companies jobs to China. An Attorney general who doesn’t know dick.Obama’s own racism and the racism of his administration taking precedent over wise decisions.

He also issued an executive order releasing a sociopath from the Psycho ward to fill the position of "Michelle's Fashion Advisor/Personal Valet."

>"this boy is carrying the Lions share,"

I still think he's sHillary's step and fetch it.

He does the dirty work gets the blame.

She "rescues" America from the evil black man. She gets her agenda in place before she takes control. With the ruling class R's help she'll even have clean hands.
