How the mighty have fallen: the man who once said he could lower oceans and heal planets now carps about “bad luck” like some busted Vegas gambler calling mom for a loan. The old saw says it’s better to be lucky than good, but you’re really screwed if you ain’t either one.
“We had reversed the recession, avoided a depression, gotten the economy moving again,” Obama told a crowd in Decorah, Iowa.
Obama gave the zombie economy a quick fix of “Stimulus” meth, already wearing off when he dosed it with the Obamacare downer.
“But over the last six months we’ve had a run of bad luck.” Obama [blamed] the Arab Spring uprisings, the tsunami in Japan, and the European debt crises – [for setting] the economy back.
There are uprisings and natural disasters somewhere every year. The European “bad luck” has been unfolding since Fall 2009. Their impact increased proportionally with Obama’s need for excuses.
“Now, those are things that we can’t completely control. The question is, how do we manage these challenging times and do the right things when it comes to those things that we can control?”
We could try electing people who know what the hell they’re doing.
“The problem,” Obama continued, “is that we’ve got the kind of partisan brinksmanship that is willing to put party ahead of country, that is more interested in seeing their political opponents lose than seeing the country win.”
No Barry, we have the bad luck of having a fool as president and dealt with it by erecting roadblocks to his destructive agenda. The problem should be rectified by 2013, with any luck.

All politicians are the same, period. But this thing we have now is worse than any of them. If it comes down to him and Perry, I'm voting for Perry end of story. I'll vote for anyone other than the scum we have in there now.
Yeah. And that day of infamy was in November 2008.
I have to remind myself that BHO is not incompetent. I believe he is tearing this country's economy down per Marxist doctrine.

I've never doubted for a minute that his intentions were less than honorable. Everything he does, he does with one purpose in mind; the destruction of this country for the global ruling elitists.
.... and the Titanic simply had a "run of bad luck" when it ran into that iceberg.
What both situations have in common is that if the man at the top, as well as his subordinates had been paying attention, the "run of bad luck" may never have happened.
Even if it hit, if it wasn't the arrogance by those that ran things more people (or all for that matter) could have been safe if they had a better escape plan, and more boats. I think more than anything it was the arrogance of stating that it was unsinkable that doomed that ship.
Obama and his people are all arrogant and they are destroying our country.
" Its not My Fault ".... , As o BOMB Ya , Tours The Country talking About Jobs . in his Brand New Motor Home , that was " Made In Canada "
Actually, to be completely honest, the chassis and shell are made in Canada. The engine is a Detriot Diesel. The customization was done in the USA.
The reason for the chassis and shell being built in Canada is that the customizers in the US won't use any other coach because of quality, this is the best one on the market. The story I read was that the part from Canada was $400,000 and the parts built and assembled in the US come to $700,000. So it was mostly American made.
I disagree in his going in the first place, because it seemed unnecessary to me, ESPECIALLY since he was going to an expensive vacation afterwards. However, if that is the case (about the vehicle) I actually do feel better about the vehicle situation. I still don't feel good about Martha's Vineyard. The rich are evil but let's vacay where they vacay? Uhm... They could have gone to Camp David or gone to the Great Lakes.
They could have gone to Camp David or gone to the Great Lakes.
Do you really expect the smartest, best looking, President ever, to go vacation where the "common" people go?
He vacations with the rich because HE is rich. Rolling in dough! Just like Kerry, Pelosi, The Kennedy clan. Do you really think they are ever going to approve anything that dips into THEIR pockets? Of course not!
Well, at least he didn't blame Bush for this!
-YET-
Give him time. He'll fit that lame-ass excuse in there somewhere in this campaign. Guaranteed.
“The problem,” Obama continued, “is that we’ve got the kind of partisan brinksmanship that is willing to put party ahead of country, that is more interested in seeing their political opponents lose than seeing the country win.”
So.... he is admitting that he is the problem then? :-/ Because that is exactly what he and his party have been doing.
I am sick of Obama, I want him gone and I hope in G-d Almighty that we (US Americans) get ONE MORE CHANCE to get this right and we get a Washington or a Reagan (at least) and see if we can make this work. If we cannot make this work after Obama we shall have to learn Chinese. I got a head start in college, but it was for fun... I wouldn't have a problem with China as the next superpower, if it weren't for the fact that generations of Christian families are imprisoned in order to prevent their propagation, (and other things), I would be more accepting of the new superpower and enjoy the cultural enrichment.
My other issues with China is how they treat their workers, the blatant racism in many quarters and the fact that girls are not "prized". My only hope that their evil desire to prize boys over girls means that they won't be having many children and will not survive (in hopes that non chinese women will choose not to be with the men or the men are so racist that they will refuse), but that is going to take hundreds of years that I just don't have available.
We need to something and we need to start by getting rid of the fools.
What is wrong with Obungles, is part of a greater problem country-wide. The inability to take responsibility for screwing up, but instead playing the victim card (much like the race card) and whining your way out of a situation. My favorite stories of all the people I arrested over my law enforcement career reminds me of Obungles. I arrested a guy for a warrant and in his pants was a whole lot of meth. When I asked what this was, He looked at me and said, "Dude these ain't my pants". so I asked who's shirt are you wearing? He said mine. Who's shoes are you wearing? He said mine, Who's underwear are you wearing? He said mine. "but I just found the pants". So you were walking around with no pants on and just happened to find the mother-lode of meth just laying there in the street? He said, "yup". He tried it ion court too, but the judge (when he stopped laughing) didn't buy it either.
There's no different between Obungles and this guy. I can just here Obungles saying, "Hey dude these ain't my pants".....lying has become a national sport, so has rationalization. "well Officer I had to shoot my husband, cause he refused to take out the garbage, which means the house would get dirty and smelly and it would affect the health of my children"... Actual statement of a suspect.
Criminals and politicians, the only difference is people are stupid enough to elect one to office.
So... he says it was bad luck. Is he going to say Bush had some bad luck? Reagan? Nixon? Coolidge?!?!?
Bush had th bad lick of an attack on American soil for the first time on some 60 years. I never heard him complaining.
You know, HE is the one who called for the Arab Spring uprisings! You can't blame something YOU called for Jackass!
