Speaking to supporters in Oakland, CA, President Obama declared that his economic policies are already proven successes.
“We tried that and it didn’t work,” Obama said of Mitt Romney’s proposed tax cuts and spending cuts, which he dismissed as a Bush-style “top down” economic policy. “Just like we’ve tried their plan, we tried our plan — and it worked,” he added later in the speech. “That’s the difference. That’s the choice in this election. That’s why I’m running for a second term.”
The president mentioned the auto bailouts, and it’s reasonable to conclude that he is also discussing the two signature pieces of legislation he has signed into law, the 2009 stimulus and ObamaCare. Both were sold as plans to remedy the ailing economy. Obama also sought to convert the US energy economy from fossil fuels to “green” technology, with a promise of job creation to go along with that.
The administration promised that the stimulus would knock unemployment down to about 5.5% by now. It has not even come close to that mark.
The graph is a little dated. Gallup says unemployment remains above 8 percent, with “declines” largely attributable to unemployed giving up on finding work.
So he lied. Big deal, it’s not like the MSM will report he is lying or try to refute what he is saying. And the millions who don’t have a clue about what an utter failure he is will vote for him in November.
And you didn’t even mention that he has effectively thrown open our national borders, and is in the process of gutting our national defense.
Let’s see: the “Bush style” was also the Reagan style, and the Clinton style cut spending and the deficit. The Obama way does none of what those other Presidents did, and yet they gave us 30-plus years of prosperity with a couple of short, mild recessions thrown in. Those were “top-down” failures?
How does he define “worked?” “Worked” as in we are now in boom times, or “worked” as in “the Clowrd-Piven plan” is working?
I have to say, George Orwell would have a field day with this calamitous jerk.
It’s Cloward-Piven, all right.
He’s also upset because he only gets four years at a time for his plans, not five. Unlike his predecessors in the former USSR.
Clinton’s “Style” was to gut the military and use revenues based on figures from before the Dot-Com bubble burst. There was never a surplus and he did untold damage to our national security. Do not compare him to any president from the Right.
What is so significant is that the president is so out of ideas, he is having to come back and talk about what he has done, but his record is so bad he has to give us the “Julia” cartoon version from the folks at the unicorn ranch.
How bad is it that you are willing to suffer the slings and arrows that will come when you try to tell people that things are just ducky out there….because you haven’t found anything yet you can use to effectively campaign against Romney after spending how many millions on polls?
When you have feces for brains and no soul, you get Obama. One continuous never ending cyclic lie. His life is a lie, he is a lie. If he had a clock shop he would not tell you the correct time of day.
Please tell me Jim Treacher is already working on #anditworked…
“How bad is it that you are willing to suffer the slings and arrows that will come when you try to tell people that things are just ducky out there . . .”
There won’t be many ‘slings & arrows’ because the MSM will cover, lie, deceive, omit, manipulate, spin & everything else they can think of to protect him and get him re-elected. The MSM will be complicit in selling the ‘things are just ducky’ lie.
So Zippy the pinhead’s campaign tactic–as in the past, but perhaps in the past not so blatantly, or so easily disproved–is just to offer a flat out, bald-faced lie, hoping that most of his enthralled, stupid, easily duped, mouth-breathing audience will just eat up the shit he is throwing down, and vote for the racial “Messiah,” and “The Light Bringer” who, to quote “tingle down the leg” Chris Matthews, is “perfect,” “perfect,” perfect.”
Well, if a winning majority again votes for this malevolent clown, we as a nation pretty obviously deserve what we get.
Even the media is starting to figure it out;

Until election day. Then it’s just waiting until Jan 20th for him to go. Hill-de-beast stole a coffee service from Air force One the last time she left. Maybe the ‘w’ keys off all the white house keyboards (although that was never proven). I wonder what Michalle will steal?
Michelle will steal all the WH curtains. Look for her on the cover of Oprah’smagazine in a dress that oddly matches the decor of the Oval Office!
chrysler is now majority owned by an Italian comapny, Fiat. The Big 3 have become the Big 2. But at least Barky got his voters, err… I mean union workers, bonuses!
“Speaking to supporters in Oakland, CA, President Obama declared that his economic policies are already proven successes.”
The only thing conclusively “proven” is that ObmaRx is a serial liar.
Looking at that graph, it seems to show that the stimulus was useless, even in the theoretical phase, as the 5% unemployment would have been reached at the same time regardless of what they did. So why waste the stimulus money if the end result is the same?
You already know the answer: it wasn’t a “waste” because it was always meant to be a gigantic looting and bribing scheme.
By the way, the proper name for the legislation is The Trillion Dollar Stimulus to Nowhere.
We shouldn’t be even mildly surprised by audacity any longer. Nor by the fact that the guy in the white house can say anything with a straight face. After all, that is what he has been trained to do for decades.
The facts are irrelevant to them.
They know that a measurable sliver of clueless voters will believe them. That’s all that matters to them. An incessant pounding of blatant and shameless propaganda will have its impact.
In a rational world, a free press would humiliate them for saying something so demonstrably laughable. But that isn’t the case, so that also is irrelvant.
“Speaking to supporters in Oakland, CA, President Obama declared that his economic policies are already proven successes.”
What is proven is that ObamaRx is a serial liar.
Obama, After Three Years of High Unemployment: ‘We Tried Our Plan — and It Worked’
America to Obama: You continue to inhabit a universe far, far away from here.
The operation was a success the brain has been removed from the patient. Oh he died, well that doesnt matter the operation was a success.
Well, everybody says he is afraid to run on his record, not so as long as he can just make one up. It’s not like the media will really call him out on it.
BTW, “and it worked” is the same thing as saying “the private sector is fine”, and will be received by the nation at large with the same disbelief. That he was in Oakland when he said it helps suspend the disbelief – those folks haven’t been in touch with reality in a very long time.
EPA official’s ‘crucify’ comment continues to draw fire Apr 27, 2012

And all you Repubs thought Clinton would say anything to get re-elected!
)bama has no chance to get reelected. The Tea Party will be out in force to send this sad excuse of a president home.
If we’re lucky he might go live in another country after he leaves office
Sadly, you’re wrong. A lot of people buy the “Us vs. Them” argument he’s put forward, and somehow manage to ignore that much of his powerful support is the very financial sector and wealthy people he tries to tell everyone he wants to “get”.
Those folks have been abandoning The Annotated One like rats on a sinking ship.
That’s why his campaign $$$ are short and he again had to remove the credit card security features from his campaign website and has to campaign 24/7 and ask people to defer giving wedding gifts, etc.
His plan “worked” if you realize that his intention was to force as many people as possible to become totally dependent on the government, which I’ve maintained all along.
If this is success, I’d like to know what failure looks like…
GOP ad: (Video of Obama saying “We tried our plan–and it worked!”, followed by five repetitions of the same audio over five stills:
1. Men standing in line to apply for a job, with centered text, “record unemployment”
2. Printing press printing money, with text “Record deficit and debt”
3. Desert southwest, trashed by illegals entering the U.S., with text “Refusal to enforce U.S. laws”
4. Obozo bowing to any foreign leader, with text “Bowing to foreign kings”
5. Obozo in front of Solyndra logo, with text “Billions given to companies that went bankrupt”
Voiceover: “THIS was all part of your plan?”
now i get that phrase you didn’t build that… he is projecting his record. if it didn’t work it was Dubyas fault, if it works Bill Clinton did it before. it amazes me that this clown is running on someone else record. what ever happened to stolen valor act? does it cover identity theft.
this clown in chief should be in the movies he can play different characters. call him the chameleon in chief.
The plan is known as Cloward-Piven, and it’s working better than they imagined.
It involves getting so many people on the dole that the system collapses and the socialists/communists need to come in and save the day.
