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.

“Yeah, I’m corrupt, but there’s nothing you can do about it, because I’m black! Now, let’s get going on my agenda, I don’t have much time left, legally at least... but that might not matter either.”

Right. They could learn a lot from Obama's true-believing single-mindedness. Obama has one thing and one thing only on his mind: Das Kapital by Karl Marx.

We should have the same ardor, focus, and determination to (re)implement The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith.

I have come to the conclusion Obama is really not very good at lying. With a good liar, you are left trying to determine the truth from the lies. With Obama there is no doubt.

I also agree with the “projection” comment. He can't help it. His subconscious makes him do it.

Wednesday's speech includes no new policy initiatives,

A President in the middle of the longest recovery on record with 7% unemployment has no new economic ideas to present.

Nauseating.

I decided not to hate these people years ago in the 90's...too hard on my system. I don't want to give them the power to do that to me.

I don't like anything they do, however, and will do whatever I can to get them out of power. I completely understand your feelings though.

I think it is different this time for the reason that these people pose an existential threat to the country in general and to me specifically. I think it is normal for someone to hate the thing or person that poses the existential threat.

I completely understand.

It's just that I personally found myself experiencing emotions that negatively affected the rest of my life and I didn't want these socialists to have the power over me to do that.

Maybe you can separate it better from other facets of your life than I could.

I’m with you. He brings out the absolute worst in me and my vocabulary really turns foul whenever I see or hear him. My husband is always asking who I’m talking to as I yell at the tv or radio.

I have no words to describe him any longer. I never expected any leadership from him, but this....
