I think that one of the things that we all agree to is that the touchstone for economic policy is, does it allow the average American to find good employment and see their incomes rise; that we can’t just look at things in the aggregate, we do want to grow the pie, but we want to make sure that prosperity is spread across the spectrum of regions and occupations and genders and races; and that economic policy should focus on growing the pie, but it also has to make sure that everybody has got opportunity in that system.
BARACK OBAMA, New York Times, Apr. 28, 2009
“Everybody except… you know… the people who actually make the pie grow.”
And not surprisingly, his sentiments are expressed by both Republican and Democrat parties.
While he blames Bush all the time, he actually did inherit over a 100 years of bankrupt philosophy of government.
But, when all is said and done, he can’t hold a candle to Lyndon Johnson in this regard. On the economy, Obama is truly an amateur Communist.
I was going to give him a pass on the egregious “grow the pie” metaphor, but then he repeated it and showed that even he doesn’t listen to his own droning of liberal talking points.
That is one of the most garbled, feel-goody, meaningless sentences I have ever read.
It’s as if he had a bunch of Elizabeth Warren phrases on magnets, and assembled them randomly on his refrigerator.
Any responsible teacher would fail him if he turned in a composition containing this sentence. But let me guess: his teachers told him how smart he was?
I hope everybody “has got opportunity” to see through him by now.
It could be worse, he could have said also but it has to surely made being that everybody in that system has to them opportunity gotten.
Unto each, according to the gotten opportunity; from everybody in the system made sure by an embiggened pie.
Ahhh, the pride of the Ivy League…resists he much to coherence.
This idiot’s never made a pie. He doesn’t understand how pie is made. As usual he’s making stuff up putting it on the teleprompter and selling his head off. What a maroon.
GOD warned us!
And I know its in style to blame the Kenyan Commie Presidential Imposter but GOD warned us! Obamunism is the just punishment for a nation that has abandoned GOD.
Obama doesn’t care about growing the pie. He has proven that he knows how to shrink one.
We should forever commemorate this administration.
I vote for OBAMADEPRESSION
A man-made recession to create and maintain power.
Can you imagine what thee Obama would have done IF he had a vibrant growing economy and billions of tax dollars to waste? Before Obama is out of office 10 million babies will have been butchered. And his very first official act as President was an executive order to give 777 million dollars to abort babies in other countries. 10 million dead babies wasn’t enough for Obama.
Its actually good that the economy suffered under Obamunism. Its good that we had a major economic downturn while he had a Communist posing as a Democrat. And I hope it stays this way until the Commie is gone.
You should all thank GOD for the depression because without the bad economy millions and millions more would have been killed by Obama and his godless ghouls.
