Comedy of Errors: Obama declares his first two years "toughest since the Great Depression"
AIPNews.com ^ | Oct. 28, 2010 | Tom Hoefling

Posted on 10/28/2010 5:53:17 AM PDT by EternalVigilance

In his latest bid to make a joke of the Presidency, Barack Obama appeared Wednesday night on Comedy Central's "Daily Show with Jon Stewart."

From the "Upshot" Blog:

"Are you disappointed in how it's gone?" Stewart asked.

Obama replied that the situation is no surprise given the country's high unemployment, underwater mortgages, and an overall poor economy. "Folks are going to be frustrated, and that's going to reflect on the political environment," Obama said. Obama said that in context, he's "feeling great about where the American people are, considering what we've gone through."

"We've gone through the two toughest years since The Great Depression."

So, to translate that out of Obama-speak into normal English: "Folks have lost their jobs, they're losing their homes, and the prospects for anything better are dim. And I feel great about that."

What a guy! And he wonders why he and the crypto-Marxist political party he leads are on the verge of what could be the worst mid-term election losses any party has experienced in more than a hundred years?

Socialism has consequences, as Barack Obama is proving yet again. And it isn't funny.

I have worked a long time, and worked in many offices with people like Obama. They make the easiest little task seem hard and they drag it out for days, when it could have been completed in hours. They act like they have done something special by doing just some of what is required for the job. And, if things get rough, or there is a problem, they whine and complain that it is too hard, not their responsibility, or want extra appreciation or pay for tackling a problem.

They are always congratulating themselves and bragging that they have done what most of us just considered typical work. They take more time off, and have more excuses for doing so.

But, the main thing is that for some reason these people just have to make a big deal out of whatever they do and actually feel that others should show them appreciation. It is a mentality that is part of their makeup. Instead of being grateful for having a job, they expect the employers to be grateful because they showed up.

He must have missed the Carter years. I think he was still doing number two in his pants at the time.

I have it on good authority that he was hanging out in back alleys in Hawaii, doing wacky tobacky at the time.

I wonder if he believes his own BS.

He believes in the "Dreams from his Father" that it is his mission in life to bring down Imperialist white America. That is his never wavering goal.

What a droopy looking bunch. Their suits are baggy and wrinkled, and the jackets are unbuttoned. They can’t even stand up straight. Not happy, at all...

With Obama everything is all about him. Is he reallyt being serious? Sadly, I think he may actually believe his own lies.

How about Reagan vcoming in with a double digit inflation rate and high unemployment and interest rates so high no one could purchase a home?

Or, how about George W. Bush inheriting a recession that was never acknowledged by the MSM, and then the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, & our entire airline industry, etc.? If not for GWB, we would have had a recession for about 4 years, but Bush understood that we needed a strong private industry and he made sure he allowed that to happen. The stupid Democrats united with the rest of America for agrand total of about 2 weeks before they began spewing their venom again, claiming Bush stole the election, and “wasn’t it a shame it happened during Bush’s watch instead of Clinton’s?” Clinton could have become such a hero!

Liberals are beneath contempt.

Yeah, quite a contrast to that idiot Bush who used to square his shoulders and hold his head up even when every jackass in the country was certain that he was the worst president in history. I guess W didn’t understand that he was supposed to mope and droop and piss and moan like a wounded Democrat.

*Meanwhile next weekend after the election he is off to India and his staff has booked all 570 rooms at the 5-star Taj Mahal hotel.*

Has Pelosi said that this is the best way to stimulate the economy yet?

Comedians are news anchors & news anchors are comedians.

I'd never heard of stewart before this and still have no clue what kind of show he has. I wish he would have asked zero: "If it was so tough, why did you play so many rounds of golf since your emaculation?" Both these dims are human excrement releasing openings.

* *WE* have been living high on the hog - travelling all over the world, best hotels, finest food & wine, being pampered by well paid staff and playing golf. *

This is what dictators do when the unemployment is 10%.

Let ‘em eat cake...

Don't insult Herbert C. Hoover. Hoover was a self-made man who not only got wealthy thorough his own industry, but was a great humanitarian who organized relief efforts to save thousands of children from starvation in two world wars.

Yes, he was a flop as a president, but he was a great success as a human being. BO isn't fit to wipe his backside.

*Just think how much better off the country would be if Mr. Obama had been asleep for the past 22 months?*

I'd like to see a sign on his bedroom door that says:

“Shhh! Please don’t wake him up until Jan 20 2013!”

He's got to keep his energy up for the next round of self-adulation.

He’s so much like Anthony from the Twilight Zone.

I’m ready to be wished back OUT of the cornfield now....

42 million Americans on food stamps and Obama is happy.

Actually, I doubt he'll be happy until everyone is on food stamps. Well, everybody but the self-appointed "elite", that is, who can munch on arugula any Waygu beef to their hearts' content.
