Well, in his defense, it’s easy to forget the suffering of others when you’re palling around with George Clooney and sending your family off on 17 lavish vacations in three years.
The soon-to-be-former president made his forgetful remark while campaigning in Seattle today. He parties with George Clooney in Hollywood tonight.
Just to jog the president’s memory, the labor participation rate has hit a 30-year low under his watch, as millions of Americans have simply given up looking for work.
Update: The Romney campaign responds:
“It’s not surprising that a president who forgot to create jobs, forgot to cut the debt, and forgot to change Washington has now admitted that he’s forgotten about the recession. In fact, it seems that the President has forgotten that he’s been in office for the last three-and-a-half years. In November, the American people won’t forget.” –Andrea Saul, Romney Campaign Spokesperson
– gay announcement was a 9 on the rectum scale.
So sometimes he forgets what a disaster Boosh was.
Sometimes he forgets what a prince he is himeself.
Rush had a great parody on this morning (Paul Shanklin I guess), that Obambus’ gay marriage position is really because, well, he’s in love with a man – himself. And the mean old Republicans just can’t understand.
Maybe his memory of the recession would be better if we lined up all 2.5 million people who have lost their jobs since January 2009 end-to-end. They would stretch across the US from coast-to-coast almost 9 times.
I’d like to say ROTFL, but I’m stunned, but my mouth agape–did he REALLY say that? Wow. wow. wow……..
Yeah, but it was Bush’s fault.
Sorry…I used brackets, which hid my comments…
just a thumbs up to AVCurmudgeon
It is sometimes hard to remember things like the Economy and Unemployment when your trying to figure out if you need to use a 9 iron or a Pitching Wedge to make it onto the greens.
Barrack Obama is going to keep looking for a cure to our economic problems, every day of the week, on golf courses all across this country.
I’ll trade his, “I sometimes forget” for Romney’s, “I am not worried about the poor.”
They both have an empathy problem.
