It’s Obama’s Economy Now
As the market plunges deeper by the week, more and more people are beginning to realize that it is President Obama’s agenda and proposed policies that are in effect, killing the economy of this country.
Take this article from today’s Wall Street Journal, subtitled “As the DOW Keeps Dropping, the President is Running Out of People to Blame.”
“Americans have welcomed the Obama era in the same spirit of hope the President campaigned on. But after five weeks in office, it’s become clear that Mr. Obama’s policies are slowing, if not stopping, what would otherwise be the normal process of economic recovery. From punishing business to squandering scarce national public resources, Team Obama is creating more uncertainty and less confidence — and thus a longer period of recession or subpar growth.”
Welcome to reality Obama. You cannot grow an economy by punishing the people who provide the fuel on which it runs.
The Washington Times also took a major swipe at the White House today with an article titled “Obama Lied, the Economy Died.”
“George W. Bush didn’t lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He was merely mistaken. Whereas President Obama told a whopper last week when he claimed he was not for bigger government. As he said Tuesday night: “As soon as I took office, I asked this Congress to send me a recovery plan by President’s Day that would put people back to work and put money in their pockets. Not because I believe in bigger government – I don’t.”
“If President Obama were to try to misrepresent his positions for the next four years, there would be nothing he could say that would approach the inaccuracy of his claim last week that he is not for big government. It is the essence of the man and his presidency. He doesn’t like America the way it has been since its founding – and it will take an abusively big government to realize his dreams of converting America into something quite different.”
Those of us who are old enough to remember Ronald Reagan recall his famous proclamation that government was the problem and not the solution. This why we laughed at the media when they called Obama Reagan-esque as he stood there and said that only government can solve our current problems.
You don’t have to be a community organizer with a degree from Harvard to know that the economy would be a lot better off if the president would just shut his mouth and get out of the way.
