President Obama Explains How Great The Economy Is Doing Since He Took Over - Live Feed
This should be good...
- *OBAMA SAYS ECONOMIC PROGRESS HAS BEEN 'STEADY'; 'IT IS REAL'
- *OBAMA SAYS ECONOMIC FAIRNESS IS 'DEFINING CHALLENGE' OF TIME
- *OBAMA SAYS OBAMACARE HAS RESTRAINED HEALTH-CARE PREMIUMS
- *OBAMA: U.S. CAN SHORE UP FINANCES WITHOUT 'MINDLESS AUSTERITY'
Crucially, we should all know how much better things are than 2008 - so America will vote for his colleagues...
While discussing the 2014 election on Sunday's "60 Minutes," President Obama took a page out of Ronald Reagan's book:
I can put my record against any leader around the world in terms of digging ourselves out of a terrible, un -- almost unprecedented financial crisis. Ronald Reagan used to ask the question, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" In this case, are you better off than you were in six? And the answer is, the country is definitely better off than we were when I came into office, but now we have to make...
Steve Kroft interjected, asking Obama whether that's a good question to be asking -- whether people actually feel the improvement. And Obama seemed to concede the point.
"They don't feel it," Obama said. "And the reason they don't feel it is because incomes and wages are not going up."
This Obama should probably have a chat with the Obama who brought up the whole "Are you better off" thing in the first place. Because, as an electoral strategy, it leaves something to be desired.

We're better off... it's just that millions of you don't yet feel it!!!
What a lying sack of Ebola.
It's Obola!
The symptoms are hemorraging budgets and internal corruption.
Who is this jackhole even speaking to anymore? I mean, who's listening to what's escaping from his sewer hole???
What does Michelle Obama do after she shaves her pussy?
She straightens his tie and sends him off to work.
Please try the veal and dont forget to tip your waitresses.
Stawks are at all time highs and silver is a falling knife!
Excellent job Obama!

You're doing a heckuva' job, Barry O.
Listening to Him might make your ears bleed, and that could start more problems.
So I will pass thanks,

Economic farceness. Forward!
seriously, how does this jack-off do this day-in, day-out, all while maintaining a straight face ? ? ? ?
I would have time to practice too, if all I did was golf, choom, and make appearances on my own teevee station.
Late + 30 minutes
On time
Over Under
With an effective unemployment rate of 23%, ebola in the US, the greatest racial division in 50 years and 20+ years of bombing brown people in the ME, he has a lot to celebrate... Mission Accomplished!!!
Nice ass bung (sorry i just couldn't help myself)...
Naah, after she shaves her pussy, she shaves her husband's pussy. And you know that!
Michael Lavaughn Robinson has a penis though. Joan Rivers knows, that's why she got whacked for outting Moochelle as a tranny.

Now I know why the markets had to ramp up to green....I am sure Obama didnt want to do a speech on the state of the economy when the markets are getting clobbered, just wouldnt look good.
LIES and he knows it. The balls on this guy are the size of Hillary;s head. Brookins Institute published an article the worst business environment since 1978. Not to mention mass exodus of small business nor dismal small business start -ups. The working people are getting creamed, they have no disposal income and few real career opportunities thus you are now seeing retailers like Neiman Marcus offering discount for early Spring 2015 orders, skipping the 21/2 months of Christmas/holiday shopping. The POS NPR published an article stating that consumer has not learned anything as consumer debt is at an all time high. Of course, it didn't mentioned how misreable the economy was, the lack of opportunities and the deterimental impact of oblunder/congress policies.
The media is no friend to the working people, meat for the grinder.
Good question!
The erosion of President Obama’s base, in 1 charthttp://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/09/26/by-at-least-on...
Only three of the groups presented here think Obama is doing a better job by a wider margin than wanted to throw him out of office in 2012: people over 65, people who finished college or got advanced degrees, and people who make $90,000 or more a year. None of those groups voted for Obama in 2012 on net; in fact, relative to their demographic groupings, they're the ones that showed the lowest support for Obama. Perhaps they had nowhere to go but up. Or, perhaps, we see here the margin between where Obama's approval is now and how much support he got in 2012.
He's a puppet on a string.
POTUS/TOTUS is literally a figure head at this point. Why anyone pays attention to what a bought & paid for legislative, executive or judicial branch of government does is beyond all reason.
i think what u mean is, why does anyone pay attention to what they SAY , and that we SHOULD all pay attention to what they DO
If I had a disease, it would look like ebola
It ain't called pathological liar in chief for nothing. And it needs to send "navy corpse-man" to figt yhe "eboly" virus.
Yep, that's why we be up Typoid Barry is running his mouth.
Tell me when this cocksucker is headed to the podium so I can leave the office.
"I had to throw some secret service folks under the bus"
Someone, just aim low and squeeze.
Do people now understand why I refer to this guy as the Marxist con man?
Everything is awesome! Oblah-blah said so! Just wait, we'll all be getting raises by Christmas! I'm just going to go ahead and get that boat loan now! We should all get matching 30' Grady White Marlin 300s! Fish or fuck? We can do both!!!
Ah this explains why stawks are up again.
FUCK YOU OBAMA!
That pretty much sums it up.
I don't know who HE called but the market ramp this afternoon was someones show of authority.
Easy, Blankjew
He has a direct line to god
Maybe "god", whatever that is.
But certainly not God.
Eubonics Economics.
Or just plain chicken bone, lizard skin Voodooconomics.
"Shit. I know shit's bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution."
One day this will be the opening.

Ond day? (shit....I thought I heard two of ya over there)
At least President Camacho cared about the people.
Do you suppose some Brawndo would defeat the ebola?
No, but Chuck Norris would.
NO you dummy. Brawndo has got what PLANTS crave.

How much fairer can you get than not working and getting all your shit for free?
He was a big fan of Dire Straits.

Obama talks, buy stawks. That's the rule, right?
Exceptional!!!
Our Manchurian Golfer in Chief.
Is he vomiting blood yet?
We once had (note HAD) a dog that would eat it's crap then throw it up and eat it again. I think he ended up in high office somewhere.
oh god, you don't know how warm & fuzzy that vision makes me feel . . . . . .
"Economic Fairness" = more thieving, soul-destroying Collectivism.
And, more, still more for openly Racist Reparations; the multi-trillion dollar, utterly failed "War on Poverty" wealth redistribution, criminal enterprise.
For example, the aptly-named Pigford settlement.
Can someone take that monkeys hammer away!

Obama really makes my ass hurt.

You lie, you lie!
I thought that guy should have been removed back then.
Where did he go when you need him?
"Gold sales from Australia’s Perth Mint, which refines all the bullion output in the world’s second-biggest producer, climbed 89 percent in September to the highest level in almost a year as prices declined.
Sales of gold coins and minted bars rose to 68,781 ounces from 36,369 ounces in August and the most since October 2013, according to data from the mint compiled by Bloomberg News. Sales were about 68,487 ounces in September 2013, data show.
Bullion prices dropped 6.2 percent in September, the biggest decline since June 2013, nearly erasing this year’s gains. The dollar has climbed amid improving U.S. economic data and as the Federal Reserve raised interest-rate forecasts, while central banks in Europe and Asia maintained or expanded stimulus to spur economic growth. Gold coin sales by the U.S. Mint more than doubled in September to the highest since January, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Gettin' some while the gettin' is good AKA BTFD bitchez!
Color me curious.
What the fuck is economic fairness!?
Your money goes to the FSA.
1) Drive to the ATM of your bank.
2) Withdraw all of your money. Place it in a bucket.
3) Drive to the nearest Martin Luther King Blvd.
4) Empty the bucket out your car window onto the street.
5) Most important: Apologize for your years of white privilege.
6) You have achieved Economic Fairness
7) Bonus: Call selected, self-hating, neurotic white cowards such as 'lil Bobby Costas, smegma Al Franken and smarmy Ken Burns, and receive their smug, "progressive" approval.
Economic Fairness is defense contractors making six-figure salaries off of the taxpayers' dime, and then those said contractors go on right-wing message boards advocating free-markets!
You can sponsor ten Trayvons for the price of one of Erik Prince's goons.
And so what kind of ignorant drivel do they spew on "left-wing" message boards?
I'm sure you are an experienced and enthusiastic participant.
The way he said it, it sounded like its a new term that will be a challenge to define
it means bend over and grab your ankles, they found more buzz words that poll well with morons
FAIR = Fuck All, Ignoring Reason
Economic fairness means a minimum wage that pays all jobs the same regardless of how little or how much we need people doing that job.
Economic fairness means unions deciding that two teachers are paid the same even though one is incompetent, hates his job and barely works and the other is brilliant and hard working and puts in tons of overtime.
Economic fairness is equal pay for the same job even though two workers are never the same.
In short economic fairness is saying "screw you" to consumers and their ability to decide what they want to pay for labor, leaving them with the choice to either do the job themselves (pump their own gas or bag their own grocericies) or pay for labor that is mispriced.
Economic Fairness is Warren Buffet gets bailed out, yet Joe Blow needs to do the "moral thing" and pay off his clouded MERS mortgage on a bubble priced house.
Which is the inevitable result when you take away the power of consumers to decide what things are worth and give it to politicians.
Lying comes so easy to him. The king of BS. Anyone that supports his agenda should be in Gitmo.
Did he call Yellen and demand that the market rally for his speech?
Is anyone listening?............
Liberia to prosecute man who brought Ebola to US - Yahoo News
All flights should of been barred into US. Not a questionnaire.
XOM has had to quit the kara sea project as well as 8 others...with ebola in dallas i wonder if XOM is thinking perhaps a move to another location might just be the smartest move. Obola's ability to oversee the financial well being of the economy is only matched by his ability to safe guard the borders and the public's well being.
Modern poliiticians are clowns. The Hand that pays them does what it will. They take the blame and then retire, it all gets dropped without recourse and resolution.
Clown/whores . . . but good, concise summeary.
Fucking idiot stooge...
Mission Accomplished
discretionary time in non market work activities is down .. that is why American's in aggregate are poorer.
if he has to tell us we're doing better, then it is clear we are not doing better.
I love it when they have to explain how great they have made things for us, cuz clearly we're imbiciles and can't see it. More like we can see just fine how shitty it is, and know exactly who to blame. FU, you criminal.
GOLFER IN CHEF
PROGRESSIVE-DUMBDOWN
UH,uh,uh Everything is fine Folks
its all good he has a job
so what if you dont
He is such a divisive cunt...!!!!
Always goes back to "economic fairness" and "wage inequality" and "income gap". He knows damn fucking well that the fucking income gap is 100% ZIRP-driven speculation, which only benefits the wealthy.
But he also knows that many (most?) americans are too fucking stupid to understand this....
Hats off to you, King Barry. You understand your subjects and know just how to control them.
I'd love to take a big bloody ebola shit right down his fucking throat.
I doubt if he's ever even heard of ZIRP, let alone understands it's ramifications. His one and only job is to represent the facade we know as "integrity of the office."
Please stop ascribing human traits to puppets.
It's good to be king!
This clown is so full of shit, I cannot stand to listen to his lies anymore. The stats and figures are about as accurate as his claims that the intelligence community underestimated the situation in Syria when he's been absent from daily intelligence briefings 60% of the time.
Turning him off, it's drivel for those who are among the FSA to eat up like the government cheese they get in the form of EBT card monies every month. Who still listens to this guy anyway? He's a puppet for crissakes.
I don't listen to any of them, EVER. I look forward to the day when I've never once heard the voice of POTUS. Which, by my calculation, will be in 2024, once Hitlery steps down from the throne.
That sock puppet is so detached from reality it is repugnant. Does anybody in the world seriously believe a thing coming out of his mouth?
The only direction Obama has for the United States of America. Guiding Reggies cock into his asshole.
The greatest challenge of our time is to survive this administration....
Seriously? How is this any worse than GW's fiasco? It's been shit living in this country for over a decade now. I've been laid-off three times since 2007.
Greatest nation on Earth, my arsehole.
Sorry you got laid off. Keep trying.
In fairness this puppet inherited a shit storm from the last puppet, and the bare notion that the president's actions have much to do with anything is itself highly questionable.
That concession made - the way this guy can stand there and read absolute rubbish, cherry-picked, twisted figures, and garner applause is hard to stomach.
As for mindles austerity - how about not spending billions on Ukraine, Syria, Iraq and Israel? How about nationalizing the Fed - that will save you 6% off the top right there... how about raising the marginal corporate tax rate on any business hiding money offshore, or actively exporting jobs? How about ending business killing sanctions, open up trade with Cuba and Iran and reduce or remove bases in Germany, Japan, Korea, etc?
Agree or disagree with any of the above, fair enough - but for fuck's sake, how is it we still allow politicians to talk about the "map" of the economy, with fudged metrics, versus the "territory" of unemployment, real wages, real inflation, etc?
O still chooming away
barry's in full retard mode riding into town on his plaid colored unicorn
What's with the American flags in the back ground?
Helloween Decorations.
I truly believe that he doesn't understand a fucking thing the teleprompters prompt him to say. No one wants him at the daily briefings. They just tell him he must have more important stuff to do than to go to these silly meetings while the handlers nod their heads yes. He just nods back and walks away.
I was sure the Chimp-N-Chief would be playing with balls on a course somewhere. I guess he felt the need to assure the serfs he has their back.
I'm sure the moron voters still believe.
This shithead has been promising "fairness" for 6 fucking years! Meanwhile, the rich get richer and poor get poorer - YET, none of his equally shitheaded followers have figured it out! You deserve what you voted for! Morons!
In other words, it's fair.
This speech just SCREAMS that they are not just worried about the current situation but have nothing to offer but the same promises and BS we have been fed since the early 70's when we were taken off the gold standard. For me, there are just too many signs of what is to come and it is catastrophic. Time to check the preps.
Obamanomics is working about as well as Abenomics.
If it were not for those pesky incomes and wages being stagnant even in the face of record --cough, cough -- corporate profits, everyone would be sitting pretty. And, to be sure, all we need is faith in society's betters...er...elite...um...leaders and everything will turn out A-okay.
Economic fairness? I'm failing to see how it is fair to make one person to work so another does not.
Just look at that bounce Dow up 170
S&P up 25
Russell up 22
LOL nothing rigged here !
That actually looks like technicians trying to outsmart the market by buying when the current market decline equals the last similar market decline.
top 1 %
If things were better, we would know it.
What would it take for Obama to lose support amongst blacks? SNL answers that question.

Yeah...fuck that...13% of the population, and still they suck dick
Remember: "It's not lying, if it's all bullshit."
An American, not US subject.

Ahh, wait for it,. wait for it....knew it would come sometime.

Economic fairness, who the hell ever said life was fair?
He reminds me of a character from 'Team America: World Police'.
What do I have to do to get MY own puppet?!
Definition of Economic Fairness = Wealth Confiscation
Since I took office, my donors have increased their wealth five fold. Things are going great!
Corporate U.S. Healthiest in Decades Under Obama With Lower Debt (Bloomberg)
Steve Wynn, founder of the Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) casino empire, once called President Barack Obama’s administration “the greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime.” Barry Sternlicht, chief executive officer of Starwood Property Trust Inc. (STWD), said Obamacare was driving down wage growth and “affecting spending and the desire to buy houses and everything else.” They are among a chorus of corporate executives and lobbying groups that regularly assail Obama for policies that they say are stifling investment and hurting companies. Corporate and economic statistics almost six years into his administration paint a different picture. Companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 (SPX) Index are the healthiest in decades, with the lowest net debt to earnings ratio in at least 24 years, $3.59 trillion in cash and marketable securities, and record earnings per share. They are headed this year toward the fastest average monthly job creation since 1999, manufacturing is recovering and the U.S. has returned as an engine for global growth. The recovery, which stands in contrast to weak growth in Europe and Asia, has underpinned an almost threefold gain in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index since March 2009. Wynn has been part of that recovery. Since Obama first took the oath on Jan. 21, 2009, the shares of his luxury hotel company have surged fivefold while the S&P 500 Index more than doubled.--
just sayin!

"OBAMA SAYS ECONOMIC FAIRNESS IS 'DEFINING CHALLENGE' OF TIME"
How much of a challenge is it to drive everyone down to poverty level, except the elites that Obama pals around with at $32,000 a plate?

Is economic fairness anything like king Solomon's fairness? Cut the baby in half (thereby killing it, of course) and distribute fairly, evenly amongst claimants?
Except Solomon was illustrating a point of genuine ownership, he wasn't actually going to act on it. But this Kenyan Islammo-commie is acting on it.
But of course he's exempt. He's doing his part by gettin' it done on everyone else.
Hardly anybody believes this lying fuck anymore.
