Obama: Washington took its eye off economic ball

Associated Press DARLENE SUPERVILLE 12 minutes ago PoliticsBarack Obama

GALESBURG, Ill. (AP) — President Barack Obama is accusing Washington of taking "its eye off the ball" and getting distracted from the economy.

The president is trying to refocus debate on pocketbook concerns after months that have been dominated by what he calls "phony scandals" and "stale debates."

Obama's remarks come in a speech he's giving Illinois' Knox College. That school was the site of his first major economic address as a U.S. senator eight years ago.

Wednesday's speech includes no new policy initiatives, but Obama is declaring that reversing bad economic trends should be Washington's highest priority.

Does he ever take any responsibility aside from blaming others?

Phony scandals as described by Obama and his radical leftist, fawning press corps.

“Obama is declaring that reversing bad economic trends should be Washington’s highest priority”

You mean trends started over the last 5 years... Or are we still blaming Bush?

The central socialist government is effective dead. It has been dying for years, but thanks to the African president life support has been removed. He has effectively aborted America.

The rotting carcass has yet to be removed and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue can’t be cleared out quickly enough to suit me. How about you? Can we honestly put up with the rest of this criminal’s term?

It’s time to bring down the curtain and rewrite the play!

The entire speech is a nothingburger, and is being given while he stands in front of a woman who has apparently eaten everyburger.

Who is that 500 pound woman?

extern void give_speech(char *content);

char content[] = "focused like a laser beam on economy";

for (i = 0; i <= inf; i++) {

give_speech(&content); }
