FACT CHECK: Overreaching in State of Union speech - Yahoo! News


As always Obama stretches the truth!!

Shocking! And he's the ONLY president/politician to have done so. Again....SHOCKING!!!!

Yeah the whole, "Hope and Change" thing was just bullshit.

SURPRISE!!!!

He hoped for a more socialist/Marxist government and he got what he hoped for. He promised change and we have gotten it. Misrepresented as something he knew it would never be? Just to get elected? Absolutely. But bullshit? Nope.

Several voices were doing exhaustive interpretation of his former rhetoric, but it fell on mostly deaf ears. I can go back and read that commentary now and am amazed at how accurate it was.

I didn't watch it...I don't have any desire to sit there and have someone feed me a line of bullshit from here to Canis Major.
Cherry picking, half truths and no truths is a looooong tradition in state of the union address.

I have it recorded to watch--we were otherwise engaged last evening--but I am tempted to just delete it. I don't really care much what he said--we were advised by just about everybody what he was going to say before he gave the speech, and we have had commentary from just about everybody since the speech as to what he did say, and I doubt I would be any better informed by watching him say it. I know I would be thoroughly bored. I watched a little bit of Rubio and was just as bored so I turned him off. It wasn't that he said anything wrong on bad or that he wasn't speaking his convictions. It was just so predictable what he would say it seemed like a waste of time to hear it all said again. But naw, I won't delete it. I'll watch it. Just so the numbnuts can't tell me that I didn't even see it.

Overreaching..OBAMA: "After years of grueling recession, our businesses have created over 6 million new jobs."

THE FACTS: That's in the ballpark, as far as it goes. But Obama starts his count not when he took office, but from the point in his first term when job losses were the highest. In doing so, he ignores the 5 million or so jobs that were lost on his watch, up to that point.
Private sector jobs have grown by 6.1 million since February 2010. But since he became president, the gain is a more modest 1.9 million.

And when losses in public sector employment are added to the mix, his overall jobs record is a gain of 1.2 million.

OVERREACHING??? F...king LIE!
Just like Obama has LIED about 50 million uninsured while counting 10 million non-citizens, 14 million ALREADY Covered by Medicaid and the worst LIE
18 million who are under 34, make over $50k.. and financial have NO REASON to pay health insurance when they spend on average less then $1,000 a year out of their own POCKET!! That leaves 8 million truly uninsured that needed coverage!
BUT because of the "OVERREACHING"... LIE a lot of people that would have been MORE supportive are asking MORE and MORE about Obamacare
finding out there are MORE LIES!!!

FACTS about total employment FROM the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

http://www.bls.gov/opub/ee/2011/ces/tableb1_201112.pdf
jobs end number of
of year new workers % increase

2000...... 131,785 2,792 2.16%
2001...... 131,826 41 0.03% Dot.com bust, 9/11 occurred $5 trillion in real losses, 18,000 businesses
2002...... 130,341 -1,485 -1.13% 9/11 residual losses
2003...... 129,999 -342 -0.26% tax cuts began
2004...... 131,435 1,436 1.10%
2005...... 133,703 2,268 1.73%
2006...... 136,086 2,383 1.78%
2007...... 137,598 1,512 1.11%
2008...... 136,790 -808 -0.59%
2009...... 130,807 -5,983 -4.37% absolute worst losses in in 28 years!
2010...... 129,818 -989 -0.76%
2011...... 131,159 1,341 +1.03%
2012...... 134,825 3,666 +2.7%

STILL 2,773,000 fewer people working in 2012 then in 2007 when 137,598,000 people were working!
So Obama is again shading or OVERREACHING OK lying! There were 5,007,000 people back at work BUT not 6 million NEW JOBS!!!

Look at 2009. "Absolute worst losses in 28 years." Even though a president is sworn in at the end of Jan. the country is run on the budget of the previous president until October. Only a complete idiot would think you could present a budget the day you are sworn in. It's simply too stupid for words.

Dumb f...k! At least Bush DID budgets and ON TIME!
Each year, the President of the United States is required to submit his budget on or after the first Monday in January but not later than the first Monday in February.
While other Presidents have been late as well, President Obama’s tardiness has set several new records:

First President to deliver three budgets late in just one term.
President Obama has delivered all of his fiscal year (FY) budgets—except FY 2011—late.
First President to deliver two budgets late in a row.
President Obama delivered both the FY 2012 and the FY 2013 budgets after deadline.
First President to take an extra 98 days to deliver his transition year budget. While a President’s first-year budget submission is delayed for practical reasons—there is not enough time between entering office and the budget deadline—President Obama’s first budget was delivered more than 30 days later than any other President’s budget.
Obama Misses Budget Deadline?Again

WHAT THE f..k is the excuse for NOT doing as the LAW required???
Is Obama that much better then anyone else??

Viewership of the SOTU broke new records - people are so thrilled by what he has to say that......"The four networks had almost 19 million combined viewers between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. EST for the speech in 2013, compared with 26 million in 2012. That is a drop-off of 26.8 percent, based on the numbers reported by the website."

I wonder why.

The Real State of the Union

February 19, 2013
By Tom Blumer

...

The alleged recovery in the housing industry is one of the most heavily publicized economic myths going. We’re supposed to be excited that new home sales are achieving three-years highs, even though today’s level is barely back to where it was during the early-1980s recession, when the U.S. population was 25 percent lower. Today’s level of homebuilding activity is about half of what it should be in a truly healthy economy. Though it’s clear that the housing bubble engineered by government frauds by design Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and assisted by previous Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan caused home prices to increase beyond reason during the previous decade, the fact remains that inflation-adjusted home prices are right back where they were in 1990. So much for a home being a great long-term investment.

Uncanny in its inability to learn from past mistakes, risky lending policies and decisions have taken yet another government housing entity, this time the Federal Housing Authority, to the brink of insolvency. Last week, the Government Accountability Office “released a report stating … (that it) is a ‘high risk’ entity.”

Lincoln said something else about foolishness which ties directly into Obama’s State of the Union address: “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” As the nation’s Obama-induced economic malaise continues, the roster of those who are being fooled will continue to shrink.
