Living in Obama World
Making Sense
Placeholder Image
Barack Obama is living in his own dream world.To hear him tell it, thanks to six glorious years of his leadership, America is in great shape again at home and overseas.According to his boasts, which the mainstream media rarely challenge, the economy has rebounded from the Great Recession and federal budget deficits have been sliced in half under his watch.Never mind that we’re in the slowest economic recovery since FDR’s awful policies prolonged the Great Depression.Never mind that the “official” unemployment rate of 5.7 percent is a statistical fraud because it doesn’t count the millions who’ve dropped out of the job market.Never mind that the federal government still spends $486 billion more every year than it takes in and future deficits are projected to be a trillion bucks a year.And never mind that ObamaCare is a fiscal time bomb that’s already driven up the cost of health insurance for millions of individuals and small business owners.Pay no attention to all those grim realities at home, says our strange man in the Oval Office. All is well on Obama World.And don’t worry about those bloody wars going on in Syria and what’s left of Iraq. Don’t worry about the future of Afghanistan or the recent terrorist takeover in Yemen, either.We have ISIS terrorists on the run, President Obama says.
