Big Government deficit spending undermines U.S. competitiveness
President Obama warns Republican policies will turn America into a Third World country. Look who’s talking.
On a campaign fundraising trip to Chicago, Mr. Obama quipped that under the proposed Republican budget plan, “we would be a nation of potholes, and our airports would be worse than places that we thought - that we used to call the Third World, but who are now investing in infrastructure.” He failed to elaborate on which developing countries he thinks should be models for the United States, but his policies have secured America’s status as part of the declining world.
Mr. Obama has approached the presidency less as a traditional American chief executive and more as a developing world populist. The 2009 stimulus program was taken directly from this playbook, using deficit spending to distribute favors to his union supporters and cronies in the form of public-works projects and other handouts. It was a spectacular failure at creating the promised number of jobs but succeeded in Mr. Obama’s core mission to “spread the wealth around.”
Mr. Obama has accepted what he sees as the inevitability of American economic decline. During the 2008 presidential campaign, he declared, “we can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.” He has yet to explain why he thinks the American people need to ask permission from other countries to maintain a high standard of living.

Obama...once a communist, always a communist. He is doing to America what Sheen did to his girlfriends, but without the lubricant.
I want to go on record as agreeing with him on that. I keep my home a cool 77 degrees year 'round. It's coming time for a true test of the homestead's new A/C. Already had a 100 degree day...
Absolutely, and he doesn't give a whit who knows it. He's doing it right out in the open with the help of the thugs he's appointed that surround him.
We can sell pencils and apples to the party members on the street.
The Baraqqis added 17 million to the food stamp rolls in just two years. I’m sure they’re extremely proud of this accomplishment.
We are already a third world nation because we have a tin horn anti-American dictator in the “white house”
After these past two years third world would be an upgrade.
You (and mine) neighours freely elected a third generation Commie rewarding him for being a mulatto. Ain’t freedom grand?!
Obama our own hyper irrational Mugabe...... Magical thinking
Another good one, Phil!
I imagine a lot of his worshipers weren’t expecting that change.
Overseeing them and doing everything he can to speed them along.
“He failed to elaborate on which developing countries he thinks should be models for the United States, but his policies have secured America’s status as part of the declining world.”
Your graphic is perfect with this statement.
Thank you so much, Phil!
You are a real treasure...
Its amazing that 41 percent of America still supports this America Hater
