Obama: 'This Will Be a Year of Action' on Economy (An admission of five years of being a failure)
breitbart ^ | 1/12/14 | w hall

Echoing past economic promises of “green shoots,” “five million green collar jobs,” and “recovery summer,” President Barack Obama said during his Saturday weekly address that 2014 will be a “year of action” on the economy. “This will be a year of action. I’ll keep doing everything I can to create new jobs and new opportunities for American families – with Congress, on my own, and with everyone willing to play their part,” said Obama.

Obama’s latest economic pivot comes on the heels of a dismal Friday jobs report that shows the U.S. labor force participation rate has contracted to its lowest rate in 36 years.

Still, the president declared the Obama economy is booming. “Across our broader economy, there are signs of progress. Our manufacturing and housing sectors are rebounding. Our energy, technology, and auto sectors are booming. Thanks in part to the reforms in the Affordable Care Act, health care costs now eat up less of our economy,” he said.

On Friday, the government announced that a record 91.8 million Americans are no longer in the labor force.

Imagine all the money going to Obamacare that could be used to purchase goods.

Might this be an appropriate time to ask Mister Obama about the presence of absence of any Economics courses (e.g. 101 a and b) during Obama's (alleged) collegiate education?

Perhaps someone, anyone in the media or in government, might make the public request for Mister Obama to release his full and complete college transcripts (omitting grades, we'll assume a solid B+), but including everything else such as full name used as student and on degrees.

This is does not seem like an unreasonable request.
