“We had reversed the recession, avoided a depression, gotten the economy moving again,” President Obama fantasized on the campaign stump in Iowa. “But over the last six months, we’ve had a run of bad luck.”
Bad luck?
Mr. Obama, meet the late Robert A. Heinlein, a Naval Academy midshipman-turned-influential-author, who decades before you entered the Oval Office presciently described your administration. It was Heinlein who penned one of the most insightful observations ever of human nature:
“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded - here and there, now and then - are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as ‘bad luck.’ “
Mr. President, you didn’t run into bad luck. You created it.

Nails it, bad luck my @ss. This guy is simply bad news; I mean electing a president who dislikes America, had no life achievements, and was raised by Marxists.
What could possibly go wrong?

Excellent article.
To paraphrase Red Foreman, “Mr. President, bad things aren’t happening to us because we are unlucky. Bad things are happening to us, because YOU are a DUMBASS.”

I think this stupid “bad luck” comment opens a big opportunity to make fun of Obama. We should all start sending rabbits feet and four leaf clovers to the Whitehouse, with a note attached “Obama’s bad economy solution”.

I love Dr Wolf, and what makes his commentaries even better is knowing that he is related to Obama.

Ever heard the term, “People Make Their Own Luck”. Well Obama did it to himself or more appropriately, he did to the country, on purpopse I may add. Nobody can be this stupid.

Bad luck, that’s what you got, that’s what you got
(repeat)
I got bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
You play your number, that number’s hot stuff
That’s gonna take you for everything you got
Walking round in the rain with your pockets bare
Goin’ to see your woman, but she ain’t even there...
....the more I think about it, I think you’re about to lose your mind
Some people call it jinx, some say it ain’t my day...
etc.
