Obama Attempts To “Reset” Recovery

Barack Obama, who did his teleprompted best to paint a catastrophic canvas of the economy following his election last November, right through his inauguration and the subsequent passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, more commonly  referred to in the press and the political class as the stimulus package, is attempting to reset the electorate’s perception of the stimulus package as a failure.

Obama’s popularity has been falling precipitously in the polls over the past ten days due to a continuing series of negative statistics from the economic front. In his weekly address today the President sought to  remind us, following his self praise for his wonderful effort in Russia, in Italy at the G8 conference and in sharing his wisdom in Ghana, that if not for his swift action in pushing the stimulus package  through Congress, the American economy would have fallen completely into the abyss.

The President,  no stranger to embellishment, speaks of the many jobs saved by the Recovery Act to date with the  eloquence and expertise of a master  politician who knows that he can not be held accountable for something that is impossible to measure. He speaks with great pride of the many jobs created by small business in the mythical clean energy industry he is so fund of referencing. 

The President is a master pitch man. He is an eloquent carny who continues to foist upon an increasingly impatient public the mythical successes that are the product of the stimulus package. Though Bernie Madoff is currently the reigning King of cons with his massive investment scheme it is only a matter of time before this current President becomes recognized for defrauding the American public beyond anything ever perpetrated by Madoff. 

The $787 billion American Recovery Act and Reinvestment Plan is not a stimulus plan. It is an entitlement act designed to satisfy the debt owed by Obama to the unions that through there support clinched the election for this most radical of Presidents. Obama has coasted along on the wings of an adoring media and a public so eager for a change in the White House they were willing to vote for the most inexperienced candidate to ever attain the office.

As he continues his attempts to reset his relationship with the electorate we should all be mindful of his progressive agenda and his desire to embellish and distort the facts on any issue in order to satisfy the goals of his transformational Eurotopian agenda. This President harbors a great ambition that extends beyond the shores of our great nation to nations around the world. It is not enough for him to lead America he wrestles with a messianic complex the world has not witnessed since the second world war. His attempts to out perform Al Gore on the topic of climate change and Global Warming are a product of his massive ego.

This President has all the answers and if you do not believe that he will simply reset the questions.
