His first quote asserts that "America has flaws." He means to say that white, "Christian" slave traders came to this country, stole its lands away from the [nomad] Indians, and wrote documents (the Federalist papers, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, et al.) that codified the black man as 3/5 of a human, and set the white man in control of all competing ethnicities. His second quote argues that the US resisted partnerships with Europe (despite the fact that conservative America fought and died to save Europe when it could not save itself). When he refers to Europe's "dynamic union" he is referencing the fact that Europe is a borderless community, making their ability to resist Jihad almost impossible. That last quote deals with 9/11 and our willingness to move away from our traditions and ideals (his accusation). This, coming from a man and woman (his angry wife) who ran on following statement:
May of 2008:
MICHELLE OBAMA, speaking Puerto Rico: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."
Two years ago that Mitt Romney boasted that if he were elected president, he’d “get the unemployment rate down to 6 percent, perhaps a little lower” by the end of his first term in 2016. Obama did it 2 yrs sooner.
ReplyDeleteIf one ignores that pesky participation rate thingy, you would be correct. Surely you would agree that 6% of 158 million folks is not the same as 6% of 167 million, and that is why Obama has this lower unemployment rate. I don't get why that has to be a Right Wing Nutjob observation. It is a fact.
DeleteI listen to business news each and every day. There is a remarkable consensus to the fact that monetary "easing" is the fuel for the Market. Take that "drug" away, and you have economic collapse. Quantitative Easing was first used in 2008, when Lehman Brothers fell apart. The rich investor was scared out of their minds, and we started doing something that they have no idea how to stop.
By the way, when did Obama promise 6% unemployment? Four years ago. He wasn't "early, he was late, and does not count 9 million folks healthy and able to work, but who are no longer looking.
