So Obama has nine more months to turn the economy around or he won’t be reelected. That’s according to him. It’s good to know there’s a time limit, at least, where he has to claim ownership of the economy from Bush. Of course, you have Debbie Wasserman Schulz already claiming ownership of the economy for Obama and saying this is what a recovering economy looks like. That’s really about their only strategy into 2012, though.
“Yep, look at this recovering economy!”
“I thought a recovering economy wouldn’t suck so much.”
“You’re wrong. Stop talking and being so wrong and just enjoy this awesome economy. And be grateful you’ll have so much time to enjoy since you aren’t burdened with a job.”
And the thing is, maybe the economy is technically turned around and very slowly starting to go in the right direction, it’s just does Obama not expect us to not notice how far he went off course before finally getting things around? It’s like we’re driving from Newark to New York, and we’re constantly yelling at Obama, “Turn around! You’re going the wrong way!” And eventually we’re in Los Angeles, right at the shore where we can’t go any further off course, and Obama finally says, “I guess I better turn around.” And then he expects us to buy him lunch for making the smart move of turning things around. And we’re like, “Man, we were so much better off when we were back stuck in that ditch.”
A local employer called me to set up an interview this morning! Thanks, Obama! You’re the best!
Frank-your driving from Newark to New York via LA analogy is so unbelievable spot on. I bow to your brilliance.
I thought you were working for Frank, Marko. God knows I am.
You know, I don’t know how much more of this Obama recovery I can stand!
So as a gay girl in Syria Frank, do you get paid to have the sex with the Donkey and other such animals? How much? Do you Twitter pictures of your Donkey Sex pictures to anyone here in the United States? I know it has nothing to do with the economy but we are very interested in Twitter and lewd sexual pictures right now and if you are Twittering (which is very ghey here in America) with any Congressmen or Women pictures of Donkey Sex, we would like to know about it! We might even pay for excellent Donkey Sex Twittered Photos if they include comments from the congress people!!! Allah Akbar!!!
its like expecting you be considered kind for wiping the blood off the person you just beat the crap out of.
But, Debbie Wasserman Schulz has a job she has no business having – being one of the heads of a major political party, so she thinks things are going really well.
Seriously, the driving to the coast analogy cannot be topped. Notify all Republican candidates at once.
Nicely said, Frank.
Franklin Roosevelt did. Hell, the economy never even corrected under his watch (standard of living never rose during his presidency so don’t even try to cite GDP numbers to me), yet he is hailed as one of the greatest presidents this country has ever seen. The economy tanked for a decade under his watch and he drags us into a war and he’s a great president? What a joke our education system has become that it teaches this farce to our young people.
The economy is recovering because of or in spite of Obama? At this blistering rate of recovery, I’ll soon be making more than half of what I made in ’06
How about this analogy?
You buy a new house from a previous owner. After moving in, you notice that the kitchen drain runs a little show. You hire a plumber to unclog the slow drain.
He shows up and proceeds to pull out the counter tops because that will increase the input into the clogged drain.
He then forces you and your neighbors to purchase upper end faucets because your pipes are old. He then passes the new faucets along to his neighbors.
He then goes though your kitchen and removes all meat, rice, potatoes, shortning, lard, and oils because everyone knows that you aren’t supposed to put those down the drain and this will help unclog the drain. He passes along the foodstuffs to his neighbors and when you’re at work he stuffs cotton balls down the pipe.
Next, he goes to your neighbors’ kitchens and pulls out their pipes because “most plumbers” believe that part of the problem with slow drains is that other drains are flooding the sewer and keeping your drain from working properly.
He then takes two months off for a golf vacation while your pipes get worse and worse and sewage starts to backup into your kitchen. You keep calling and leaving messages but he just erases them without listening.
Finally, after realizing that you might actually fire him he shows up with a mini-flashlight and one of those fuzzy pipe cleaners and expects you to not only be happy but offer to pay him a bonus for “doing something” about the problem caused by the previous home owner.
Woohoo! 9.1 unemployment, underemployment 18.4, one million forclosures last year and this year is on pace to be worse, national debt higher than all the previous presidents combined… THE SUMMER OF RECOVERY II. Sure glad they are owning up to this robust economy.
He drove the economy off course? Small potatoes.
It’s more like his economic ship of state is on the rocks with an outgoing tide and a 9.0 earthquake just happened with a 50′ wall of water coming. All on his watch!
Former hostage-if you can all THAT on a bumpersticker, you’d be rich. I would even take time off from driving and chatting on my brain-cancer causing cell phone to read it!
It’s worse. It’s like in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire when Harry falls off his broom and breaks his arm. Then Professor Lockhart comes over and ‘fixes it’ for him by removing all the bones from his arm. Harry is left without any bones in his arm, but at least it’s not broken anymore!
If you’ll excuse me, I’ll now return to my geekdom.
“NoBama 2012!”
“Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?”
“How’s that hopenchange working for you?”
“
HOPEDOPE”“9.1% Unemployment. $4 a gallon gas. Highest food prices evah. Higher taxes, lower earnings. CHANGE!”
It’s like this:
A guy going into a hospital for a hernia operation but they give him the wrong anesthesia.
He goes into cardiac arrest, is clinically dead, but is revived – and the doctors congratulate themselves that the patient is merely comatose.
I like that approach, DamnCat:
The Economy Guy goes into a hospital for an intestinal blockage operation to fix 75 years of bleeding socialism in his gut, but his chart gets switched and they amputate his foot, instead. Then, because the nurses (Congress) are friggin incompetent, his foot gets gangrene and red streaks run up his leg. Fearing blood poisoning, the doctor orders a tourniquet to stop the poison from reaching his heart but the night Resident orders an amputation during which the wrong leg is cut off. Realizing a mistake was made, the attending orders the other leg amputated and proceeds to congratulate himself on getting the situation under control. Meanwhile the patient dies of sepsis in his gut and it explodes all over the walls.
You certainly paint a picture, Jimmy.
Ooops… Not Goblet of Fire… I meant Chamber of Secrets.
Okay NOW I’ll return to my geekdom.
B+
There is something up their sleeves. marxist never claim responsibility for anything.
It is either Bushes fault, I was hacked, you people insist on keeping to much of your money, the world is changing, we have to give parasites what they want, etc. etc.
osama is certainly not going to take credit for the economy. He will lie, dodge, or blame jojo when the truth is exposed.
dws, not quite as looney as howey dean, but twice as stupid. But I hear she has a cute smile. Although, to me, she looks like a less bloated rosie odonnell.
Believing osama should get credit for a good economy is like a terrorist telling you he is going to blow up the plane, and you get on anyway.
Taking a car stuck in the ditch
and thinking you can get it out by burying it
takes a special kind of stupid.
He must have velcro shoes, can’t imagine
an intellect like that can tie them.
