President Barack Obama's Legacy Pitch
Politico ^ | 10/30/14 | Brown, Epstein

Posted on 10/30/2014 8:35:37 AM PDT by pabianice

Speaking to a mostly white college audience:

"“This progress has been hard but it has been steady and it has been real,” Obama said at Northwestern University on Oct. 2. “And it’s the direct result of the American people’s drive and their determination and their resilience, and it’s also the result of sound decisions made by my administration. So it is indisputable that our economy is stronger today than when I took office.”

Obama griped to party donors several days later that his accomplishments are a mystery even to his most loyal supporters.

“Most of you don’t know the statistics I just gave you,” Obama said at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in New York City. “And the reason you don’t know them is because they elicit hope. They’re good news. They shouldn’t be controversial. And that’s not what we hear about. We hear about phony scandals, and we hear about the latest shiny object, and we hear about how Washington will never work.”

"But [a radio pitch], delivered mostly on black radio, is striking in how it is far more blunt than anything he’s saying at rallies and party fundraisers:

“I am just hoping everybody comes through because I really want to get a lot stuff done in these last two years,” Obama said this month on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. “I need everybody to really pay attention to this thing. I couldn’t be prouder of everything we have already accomplished but this is something where I am just hoping everybody who is listening says, ‘We are going to give one last push so the president and the first lady have the opportunities to really use these last two years on our behalf.’”

"a lot of stuff." "really pay attention to this thing." "this is something where I am just hoping everybody who is listening says, 'We are going to give one last push so the president and the first lady have the opportunities to really use these last two years on our behalf.’"

No big words. No specifics. Cloudy grammar. How insulting to black audiences.

Carter had a better legacy than this fool.

He was a screw-up, but he didn’t leave our moral foundations and traditions in tatters.

An administration of fraud and BS. He never fixes anything, just tries to BS people into believing that he has fixed something.

What I don’t get is this: If he succeeds in destroying the country, who will care about his legacy? (Except maybe a few foreign communists and Muslims).

Obama's legacy is the Zombieconomy.

If you have anyplace to spread this around where fellow Michiganders will see it feel free.

They have an insatiable appetite for your tax dollars and zero interest in brains.



I also have a photo free version in case anyone would like to add their own democrats.

Huh? What world is this buffoon living in, or more correctly what world am I living in?












Courtesy of the WSJ,
In a recent interview with the Economist, President Barack Obama made the following statement: “I think you’d have to say that we’ve managed the economy pretty well and business has done okay.” He said: “Since I have come into office, there’s almost no economic metric by which you couldn’t say that the U.S. economy is better and that corporate bottom lines are better. None.”

"“This progress has been hard but it has been steady and it has been real - and it’s the direct result of the American people’s drive and their determination and their resilience, and it’s also the result of sound decisions made by my administration and it is indisputable that our economy is stronger today than when I took office.”

WTF ??

To try and slice and dice that makes my brain itch.

WHAT THE HELL IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA REALLY SAYING ??

Here goes:

This progress has been hard but it has been steady and it has been real

Okay, what progress are you talking about? The fact that you have refused to do what we all know you need to do, and you do stuff that you shouldn't be doing? Is that "progress"? Hard, steady, real ?? Could you be talking about your golf game and the after party ?

and it’s the direct result of the American people’s drive and their determination and their resilience

So, it was OUR drive and determination and our resilience that resulted in your "progress"?

and it’s also the result of sound decisions made by my administration

What "sound decisions" ? Everyone knows that you let your handler (Valerie) make all the sound decisions while you sleep in until 10 am every morning.

and it is indisputable that our economy is stronger today than when I took office.

Oh really ?? Stronger as in a better position to be tripped up by you?

People of FR. We all know Hussein is a fraud. And when he speaks like this he proves that he a big nothing, no original ideas, no true statesmanship, and no soul.

His words are nothing and he has done more harm to this country than Khrushchev and his shoe ever wished he could do.

EBOLA

E = Ebola

B = Barak

O = Obama's

L = Legacy to

A = America

EBOLA is the quintisential epitome of Obama's so-called "legacy" to America.

Obama = EBOLA (Grusome, bloody, death, virulent disease and destruction aptly sums up what Obama and everything he, his entire administration and policies have wrought upon America, her citizens, her traditional allies and everything they have touched!)

I was a youngin’ when Reagan was president. But I have listened to his speeches on youtube. Can anyone recall Reagan using the word “stuff” in a speech, interview, or debate?

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this stuff.

His legacy is that he’s screwed more people than John Holmes and Magic Johnson combined.

The way he talks isn't of leadership but more like a street punk. This is the
result of his youth walking around and looking for his next high "Choom Gang".
And trading homosexual sex to have access to free cocaine and other drugs.

Here's his legacy pitch.
He doesn't throw well because he usually plays catcher.

I have been around and listened to Presidents as a teenager in 1960 and I never ever remember ANY President use the word "STUFF". We are now in the American Idol iPhone generation and I can't stand it. Soon I will be away from this crap.

I don’t think he even needs a choom room, chances are, he did so much of whatever drug that the effects have been written on his brain, and stick with him.
