What Does Obama Do Best?

[PoliticalChic]

9. So....the Liar-in-Chief does his weekly address, and actually says:
"The average worker who would benefit is 35 years old."

Really? Lots of 35 year-olds making minimum wage?


" A different study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that 71 percent of minimum-wage workers are younger than 30 -- a starkly different picture of low-wage workers. ... We rate [Obama's] claim Mostly False." Barack Obama says the average minimum wage worker is 35 years old PolitiFact

False. Shocker, huh?




10.He went on:
"....that extra money (an increase in the the minimum wage by 39%) would help them pay the bills and provide for their families..."

a. Just more Liberal smoke and mirrors....the reported amount that those identifies 'poverty' is bogus.

" The official poverty measure obscures this by counting only pre-tax cash income and ignoring other sources of support. These include the earned-income tax credit (a rebate to low-income workers), food stamps, health insurance (Medicaid), and housing and energy subsidies.Spending by poor households from all sources may be double their reported income, reports a study by Nicholas Eberstadt of the American Enterprise Institute.

The existing poverty line could be improved by adding some income sources and subtracting some expenses (example: child care). Unfortunately, the administration's proposal for a "supplemental poverty measure" in 2011 -- to complement, not replace, the existing poverty line -- goes beyond these changes. The new poverty number would compound public confusion. It also raises questions about whether the statistic is tailored to favor a political agenda." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wpdyn/content/article/2010/05/30/AR2010053003296.html

10. Obama: In a Senate vote on mininum wage- "Republicans flat out voted no!"

Now...why would they do that?

Wait...didn't Obama say the minimum wage increase (by 39%) would aid the economy???

Did he lie....and were the Republicans right to vote against it???

" CBO report: Minimum wage hike could cost 500,000 jobs" CBO report Minimum wage hike could cost 500 000 jobs









11. Obama has no desire to improve the economy....and he wouldn't know how if he actually wanted to.


Some Democrats learn truths later in life, and admit that they have not an inkling of knowledge about economics.


"In 1988, I invested most of the earnings from this lecture circuit acquiring the leasehold on Connecticut’s Stratford Inn. … In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business, especially during a recession of the kind that hit New England just as I was acquiring the inn’s 43-year leasehold.I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender."

Freak you out.

I fervently look toward the day when one of your persuasion will actually post a cogent, specific post in contention to what you seem to find objectionable.

Am I too much of an optimist?

Are there no intelligent folks on your side of the aisle?

None?

Well, then....you must be their queen.

We have awaited the same from you for years, yet we allow you to live and function here....We do ask if you could bath more often...

I am criticizing "the community organizer."

But for the irrational who think he's a communist/fascist/Muslim/Kenyan, that may be hard to see.

I think what she actually called him was a "pathological liar."

That's kind of hard to argue with, you know?

I used to think that you were level headed.....but that has changed.


In fact, your post brought to mind the exchange between Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson...

Thoreau went to jail for refusal to pay taxes....the reaction of Emerson, who criticized the imprisonment as pointless. According to some accounts, Emerson visited Thoreau in jail and asked, “Henry, what are you doing in there?” Thoreau replied, “Waldo, the question is what are you doing out there?”

You should be criticizing Obama just as I do.

During the course of the day I'll provide a number of lies that Obama told in his minimum wage speech.

See if you can support him.

I'm not kidding.

I'm serious.

"..... they concoct bizarre conspiracy theories,...."

Find any in my posts?

Of course you didn't.

Seems to me, you're simply one of those deathly afraid to criticize the community organizer.

Grow a pair.

Meanwhile, what does Obama do best?

THIS!

Obama’s turnaround in recent weeks – he’s seized the offensive with a series of controversial executive actions and challenges to leaders in his own party on the budget — can be attributed to a fundamental change in his political mindset, according to current and former aides. He’s gone from thinking of himself as a sitting (lame) duck, they tell me, to a president diving headlong into what amounts to a final campaign – this one to preserve his legacy, add policy points to the scoreboard, and – last but definitely not least – to inflict the same kind of punishment on his newly empowered Republican enemies, who delighted in tormenting him when he was on top.


The pivot isn’t necessarily about embracing the Real Barack Obama (that’s always been a pretty elusive persona) or even about aspiring to the Clintonian ideal of a second-term president leveraging executive power into political muscle. It’s not a matter of superficially emulating a campaign, as he’s done fecklessly in the past, by hitting the road for another round of low-impact speeches or Steve Kroft sit-downs. It’s a campaign between Obama’s ears — a competitor rediscovering his love of competition, the refocusing of a sedentary, atrophied presidency through the lens of a dynamic campaign – and winning.

“He needs to run, to compete – or more to the point, he needs someone to run against,” a former top Obama adviser told me.

He’s got that now, in a Republican-controlled Capitol Hill. Obama, a political counterpuncher who often needs a slap in the face to wake up, got a gut-shot in November. The Democrats’ staggering loss in the midterms – like his disastrous performance in the first presidential debate against Mitt Romney in 2012 – seems to have jolted him to the realization that he’ll have to act boldly to preserve what he’d assumed was a settled legacy. (The Supreme Court’s decision to scrutinize the funding mechanism of the Affordable Care Act, in particular, has sent a shudder through the West Wing and provided an unexpected challenge from another hostile branch of government.)


AND THIS:

WASHINGTON -- A month and a half ago, President Barack Obama went to the East Room of the White House to take his medicine. His party was fresh off a horrible midterm election loss. His name was toxic. One leading Democratic Senate candidate wouldn't even say whether she had voted for him in 2012. His failure to influence events globally, and the inability to pass major legislation domestically, had all contributed to a prevailing sense that the White House had lost its way.

The press conference was notable because Obama struck a defiant tone, pledging to plow forward on his planned executive actions even if Republicans had run against them. He seemed almost optimistic about the prospect of working with a Republican-run Senate and House. Obama was, it appeared, in denial.

But now, as he gets set to head to Hawaii for his annual Christmas vacation, it's beginning to seem like Obama knew more than the reporters who cover him. He achieved some legacy-defining victories during the lame-duck session. And in his year-end press conference on Friday, he showed a bit of swagger that seemed implausible in mid-November.

"Pick any metric that you want," he said. "America’s resurgence is real. We’re better off."

A good deal of Obama's enthusiasm is owed to a political landscape that, at least in the interim, worked well in his favor. Over the summer, he was shackled by calculations that he was a burden to the party, and he was virtually absent from the campaign trail. A series of crises seemed to overwhelm his presidency: from the claims backlog at the VA and the influx of young undocumented immigrants crossing the southern border to the rise of the Islamic State and the Ebola epidemic. November's election did not represent a Republican wave so much as an indictment of a sluggish Democratic agenda.

But elections come to a close, and crises eventually get resolved. With that comes the chance to breathe, if not claim triumph.

“We’ve gone through difficult times,” Obama said during his Friday press conference. “But through persistent effort and faith in the American people, things get better. The economy's gotten better. Our ability to generate clean energy's gotten better. We know more about how to educate our kids. We solved problems.”

By its own metrics, the administration had a majorly successful lame-duck session.
