<<<< Rest In Peace. Barack Hussein Obama's Political Career, June 8, 2012.
“The
private sector is doing fine. Where
we’re seeing weaknesses in our economy, have to do with state and local
government -- oftentimes, cuts initiated by governors or mayors who are not
getting the kind of help that they have in the past from the federal government
and who don’t have the same kind of flexibility as the federal government in
dealing with fewer revenues coming in.” - B
Obama, June 8, 2012.
Editor’s
notes: we all just might
look back on June 8 and Obama’s morning news conference as the very moment he
lost the 2012 election. What can anyone
say about Obama’s quoted words, above?
Understand that he was elected to the U.S. Senate in November
of 2005 and began serving his six year term in January of 2006. Before the end of that year, his first year as Senator, he had
decided to actively work for a presidential run. By the spring of 2007, Obama had an economic team in place [Romer,
Bierstein, Geithner , Summers, to name a few] , taking time from their
full-time duties to help Barack craft his plans should he win the 2008
election.
He is the Liberals gift to America, and, once again,
we realize how illogical,
idealism can be. Only the
Clintonians within the Democrat Party cared about “experience” or saw a problem
with running a total novice for the job of president. This idiocy of their criticism against Sarah
Palin and her 15 years of political experience, framing her as “unqualified to
serve as VP because of ‘lack of experience’ ” was and is highlighted by their nomination
of someone they found walking the streets of Chicago.
To make an argument that is summarized in the
statement, “The private sector is doing
fine,” proves the point of his utter incompetence. Never mind that he had to reverse his opinion
just three hours later . . . same day.
Take it to the bank,
this statement will be quoted time and time again, during the coming 5
months. Understand that McCain said
something similar, during the 2008
campaign (“The fundamentals of the
economy are good”), a statement from
which he could not escape, a statement
that played a central role in his defeat.
Ditto Obama’s June 8 comment.

Update:
From the New York Post:
A startlingly listless President Obama appeared in the White House press room yesterday morning, spoke some dull preliminaries about the European financial crisis — and then slipped and tumbled headfirst into re-election quicksand from which he will find it very difficult to extricate himself. . . . . . No, “The private sector is doing fine” may prove to be the pivotal moment for the 2012 campaign because of what it demonstrates about the president’s ideas as he heads into the fight of his life.
