I had high hopes for President Obama’s speech on the economy. But instead of going to Ohio on Thursday with a compelling plan for the future, the president gave Americans a falsehood wrapped in a fallacy.
(snip) Fallacy first. ... Obama said. “What’s holding us back is a stalemate in Washington between two fundamentally different views of which direction America should take....
He’s right about the stalemate. But he’s absolutely wrong that November offers an opportunity to break it. ... The way to break the stalemate is through compromise, not conquest.
And that leads to the falsehood. Despite his claim that “both parties have laid out their policies on the table,” Obama has made no serious proposal to fix the runaway entitlement programs that threaten to swamp the government’s finances.

“Nothing in Obama’s speech came close to a proposal to fix the debt problem; he dealt with that only at the end of the speech — largely by complaining about Republicans’ refusal to consider higher taxes on the wealthy. ... Instead, Obama’s speech was a rehash of earlier proposals — such as sending more Americans to community college and spending more on clean energy.”
Most of us called it before the ‘major speech on economy’ and Obama’s pivot to job creation and economy. A rehash of “education, tax the rich, infrastructure, tech innovation (i.e. green energy)”.
He looked like a tired man, certainly not enjoyed this part of his job. Unlike the glittered dinner party he had last night.
Zer0 needs to get this (Dana) Millstone’s boot off of his throat.
When President Barack Obama was inaugurated gasoline was $1.79 cents per gallon, the unemployment rate was 7.6%, and the National debt was $10.7 Trillion. Four more years of Obamanomics and Greece will be looking good compared to us.
Obama definitely needs a plan, an escape plan.
he needs a way out, of the country.
He needs a refuge where he cannot be liable to any laws he broke while POTUS.
They cannot scrub his past forever, they cannot keep up bringing in new revelations of manufactured friends from the past, they cannot keep up monitoring discussion boards hoping to find a juicy fact their own internet investigators have missed.
Obama cannot live in the US when even his very own creators the Communist Party USA has no further use for him.
Obama will revert to the looter, he will or rather may have already started to loot America to prepare for his refuge, we must keep an observant eye for this very scenario.
And gets lifetime immunity.
