OBAMA: Wrath is well-deserved

Re: Gressler - Obama deserves scorn, not praise.

The stock market is high because companies are not expanding and creating decent jobs. Unemployment is lower? Check statistics before bragging. “The economy continues to gain jobs, but the number of long-term unemployed is nearly double what it was when Obama became president.” (factcheck.org). Wages are stagnant; prices are increasing.

“Iraq is not Obama’s debacle.” Obama was criticized for the stimulus plan not working as planned. He said, imagine how bad it would be if we did not do it. Could we not say the same about Iraq? Why is it so bad now? Bush, not my favorite politician, predicted the current situation if we pulled out too early.

Veterans’ scandal: Bush stated problems needed to be addressed. Was Obama’s management of the VA complicit, incompetent, or just ignorant?

Benghazi is the poster child for the administration: Incompetence and do what is politically beneficial.

Guns cannot be condensed into a paragraph where you pick and choose which stories to cover.

As the first black president, I hoped Obama would be an inspiration to black children, minus his college drug use. As a community organizer, people who work for you are dedicated and volunteer with their hearts. Politicians only think of winning the next election.

With regard to Obama’s use of the phrase “phony scandal”: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” (Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda for Adolf Hitler.)
