Obama campaign: Does Romney “even understand how our economy works?”
Hot Air ^ | 7-24-012 | Erika Johnsen

Steel yourself — these three minutes of relentless condescension, smarmy incredulity, and stunning misinformation are not easy to sit through.

(video at link)

(snip) The other money line from Ms. Cutter, however, ran thusly: “Apart from the flagrant hypocrisy, these attack ads make you wonder: Does he (Romney) even understand how our economy works? We build our businesses through hard work and initiative with public and private sectors working together to create a climate that helps us grow. President Obama knows that.” Wow. I can’t fathom why they’re so eager to invite such obvious counter-punches, but here it is — President Obama’s policies have been running this economy for well over three years, and it is still in shambles. In fact, practically every indicator is currently heralding the United States’ decline back into recession, and no amount of “headwinds” or “inherited problems” is going to help Obama save face on that one.

Americans are hurting, and despite all of the Obama campaign’s attacks against Romney’s business record, it’s getting less easy to convince them that Obama is an effective steward of the economy. These days, with all of our big-government rules and regulations, it feels like the private sector is more often fighting the public sector for survival than working with it, and President Obama’s solutions always seem to involve more government. As Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has said, President Obama has never even run a lemonade stand — he had a comfy career in academia and limited time in the private sector before turning to community organizing and public office, and voters are more willing to trust Mitt Romney‘s experience on that score now that Obama has a record of mega-fail behind him. Nice try, though.

No liberal should be allowed to speak on the economy, other than to confess the harm done.

There strategy is apparently to just fling every accusation of their failures right back at Romney. It looks ridiculous.

Remember this is the guy (Obama) who said this on 7/16/2012:

"I don't know about you, but in my life what I found -- you know, sometimes I do boneheaded things. I've made mistakes. What I find is when I try something that doesn't work, then I don't try it again," President Obama said at a campaign event in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"We don't go back to doing something that didn't work," Obama also said.

So, Mitt Romney doesn't know how "our economy" works.

Well, Mizz Cutter, I know how "the economy" works.

And you are correct, I do not know, nor does Mitt Romney or anyone else know how "your economy" works.

Increasing tax revenues by increasing economic activity has always been preferable to economic activity being "stimulated" by welfare and unemployment checks.

Hussein is definitely a condescending prick. It comes from his Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

>> create a climate that helps us grow

Ah, there’s the kernel of her statement.

It’s clever; it’s absolutely true and you have to get past the “sounds OK” and parse it and think about it to see why.

>> create a climate << (BIG GOVERNMENT) that helps >> us << (BIG GOVERNMENT) grow.

Surprise!! It’s a tautology! :-)

This is straight from the typical leftist playbook: Never admit you are wrong, and state emphatically what you want people to believe, irrespective of how ludicrous it is.

His speech filter went on break on 7/13 for a moment and allowed him to slip out this bit of Socialism 101.

Now, when The Precedent really gets worked up on the stump imagine how difficult it must have to work to keep things like “Five Year Plan” and “Great Leap Forward” from blurting out.

Does he (Romney) even understand how our economy works? We build our businesses through hard work and initiative with public and private sectors working together to create a climate that helps us grow. President Obama knows that.”

So says Stepahnie Cutter.

Let us review MS. Cutter's VAST EXPEREINCE working in the "Private Sector" from which to base here statement on:

Cutter was born in Taunton, Massachusetts in 1968

She graduated from Smith College and Georgetown Law School 1997

She worked for Bill Clinton as Deputy Communications Director at the White House during his administration

and as Associate Administrator for Communications at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

She also served as Communications Director for Senator Edward M. Kennedy

and in July 2003 was named Communications Director for the Democratic National Committee.

In November 2003, she was named communications director for the John Kerry campaign.

In June 2008 she was appointed as chief of staff to Michelle Obama for the 2008 Presidential general election campaign.

She served as the Chief Spokesperson for the Obama-Biden Transition Project.

She served as Timothy Geithner's counselor.

In May 2009, she was appointed to serve as adviser to President Obama in the Supreme Court nominations

In 2010, Cutter was named Assistant to the President for Special Projects, charged with managing the communications and outreach strategy for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

In 2011, Cutter was named Deputy Senior Advisor to President Barack Obama.

In September 2011, the White House announced Cutter would leave her position as Deputy Senior Advisor to serve as deputy campaign manager for Obama for America

Ah, it appears that Moron Mooncalf Cutter has about as much experience working in the "private sector" (IN OTHER WORDS HAVING HAD A "REAL" JOB) as does her boss, Barack Hussein Obama.
