Obama: ‘Absolutely clear’ economy is going in right direction
the hill ^ | 7/9/10 | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 07/09/2010 12:41:06 PM PDT by Nachum

It’s “absolutely clear” the U.S. economy is heading in the right direction, President Barack Obama said Thursday, amid fears that the economy had faltered.

Obama made his case during a visit to Missouri that his administration’s efforts, particularly through its signature $787 billion stimulus package, had staved off a second Great Depression and put the country on the path toward economic recovery.

“But what is absolutely clear is that we are headed in the right direction — and that the surest way out of these storms we’ve been in is to keep moving forward, not back,” the president said in prepared remarks set for delivery at Smith Electric Vehicles in Kansas City, Mo.

“Right direction” in this context means “over the cliff, as the Dems want it to go”.

Maybe I’ve been too harsh on Obama. Maybe he is just stupid after all, instead of being a very shrewd, corrupt and malevolent enemy of the Constitution and the very (well articulated) principles on which this country was founded.

Nah.

It’s the “Big Lie of the Week.” He’s going around touting his “recovery” all week in hopes he can make people believe it’s true.

I think the act is wearing thin, even with stupid greedy Americans.

It’s also now clear, when he says the economy is absolutely going in the right direction, that his plan is to destroy the economy.

The Communists of the former East Block were always making such BS proclamations.

“I proclaim that the economic crisis is now over!”

What an imbecile.

Ah, I’d thought the phrase “Let me be absolutely clear” was Obama’s way of signaling that a falsehood would follow. It seems the phrase “absolutely clear” is the signal.

Pretty much anything he says, you know the opposite to be true.

Obama: ‘Absolutely clear’ economy is going in right direction

Since Obama wants to destroy the United States some newsman should ask him if the water the economy is circling with is going clockwise or countercolckwise.

It was going to take a really, really bad president to prove that Jimmy Carter wasn't the worst. Now it's been proven.

The event is part of the administration’s ongoing attempt to draw attention to jobs created by Recovery Act projects. Smith received a $32 million Recovery Act grant to build up to 500 electric trucks, part of the $2.4 billion in stimulus funds set aside for advanced battery and electric vehicle development.

This is the place he was speaking at in the posted article.

$64,000 per truck in recovery money, err, taxpayer money!!!

A freaking electric truck LOL.

I know a bit about the trucking business and I wonder just where and how these vehicles will be utilized.

It takes a LOT of power to move the amount of weights trucks carry.

Seems like a gigantic boondoggle

It is going in the right direction...for Obama, that is, since the goal is to destroy the US economy in order that a marxist dictatorship take the replace of the former Republic.

That chart says Clinton created 18,399,000 jobs. I suppose the tech boom and Y2K wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t President.

HOW MANY damn fundraisers has this MORON attended since the worst environmental disaster in America began? 5? 7? 10???

I am so pissed; if George W. Bush were touring the nation, LYING to the people about how GREAT things are economically (10% unemployment, for instance) AND the shores of our nation were being assaulted by OIL, the Hussein-fellating MEDIA would be screaming at the top of their lungs.
