Fred Thompson: Obama Has 'Run Out of Things to Say'
NewsMax ^

Posted on 06/15/2012 6:03:23 AM PDT by tsowellfan

Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson says President Barack Obama no longer has anything to offer the American people except a rewrite of history, which has put his re-election campaign “between a rock and hard place.”

“For the last three-and-a-half years, he has been demonstrating he doesn’t understand the economy and what to do about it,” Thompson told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Thursday night. “They came in very convinced that Keynesian economics would bail them out. They were very brash about what they thought the unemployment percentage would be, after their policies were instituted.

“Dead wrong about that — dead wrong about the effect of the stimulus . . . So now, they can only resort -- he can only resort – to going back,” Thompson said. “And the reason he stumbled so much lately is because he is looking backwards all the time — that’s his strategy, apparently.”

I gave Fred a bunch of money for his fake presidential run.

He's such a poser.

I really don't care what he thinks or says.

He was good on Greta.

Said he would put the Economic record of Bush against the Obama record all day.

Obama has never had the tax receipts to the Government or the unemployment numbers that Bush had compared to Obama and that Obama just recycles old speeches and is going backwards in his policies.

I wish you Mr. Fred, would run out of things to say. You are an uninspiring RINO at best. Your heart might be in the right place...but your backbone is clearly lacking.

Obama thinks it is the Government’s job to give money away. That is his understanding of economics.

If only it were true that “Obama has run out of things to say”. He’s going to just keep right on talking and talking and talking ... Even after he loses blah blah blah, ad infinitum.

I'm an Alan Greenspan fan and when he quit the Federal Reserve Chairman job my thought was ... "He sees it coming."

Wikipedia bio on Greenspan states:"born March 6, 1926) is an American economist who served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006. He currently works as a private adviser and provides consulting for firms through his company, Greenspan Associates LLC."

Since Obama is just tossing stuff out there, I wish he would come up with my mom’s tuna, noodle, and potato chip recipe. She made it often when I was a kid but a few years ago, when I asked her to make it again, she had forgotten the recipe. So I am asking Obama to toss that recipe out there since he has run out of stuff to say. At least that recipe would be something useful.

The outcome would have been exactly the same. Fred was a lousy senator.

... Agree, I voted for him in our primary, wouldn't go near him now... Reverse mortgages are just a way to steal from seniors who can't afford the Obamanomics. He's a shill now.

Same here. I think that he intentionally betrayed us for whatever reason.
