The President reprised his role as prevaricator-in-chief this weekend in an interview with George Stephanopolous, when he claimed he inherited an economy WORSE than the great Depression. Except the the NBER says it was not worse than 1980-82. He claimed he stabilized the economy and we have had 42 straight months of growth(1.7% annually can hardly be termed "growth"), and the creation of 7.5 million new jobs in that time. But the BLS says we have only created 5.1 million jobs, 4.4 million of which are part time. He went on to claim 170,000 new jobs in auto industry AFTER his bailout, but the TRUTH is, according to the BLS, that we are still DOWN 74,000 industry jobs since then.
He claimed that "too big to fail" is a lot less likely to be in place the next time, due to his policies. But Dodd Frank ENSHRINES TBTF as national policy. And he then resorted to possibly the most assinine claim he has ever made. That our slow job growth is due to technology, automation replacing jobs. Atm's replacing tellers. It is embarrassing that a man this uneducated in basic economics is making economic decisions for the nation. it is also proof once again that the words that he speaks bear little relation to reality.
America NEEDS honesty. We DESERVE better than this.

More Liberal Utopian hypocrisy
For ten years Liberals have been telling us we could not trust intelligence that was laid out before the publics eye prior to going to war with Iraq. NOW those same people tell us we must trust the very same intelligence sources but this time they won't show us. THEY are convinced, I doubt they would have accepted that relaxed standard from W.
For ten years they have told us that there was NO REASON, NO NAtional interest in going to war in Iraq. In Libya, Egypt, and now Syria there is not even the fig leaf of national interest, it is a sectarian civil war. Yet they are beating the drums of war.
They derided Bush for Mission accomplished, but defend Obamas juvenile red line challenge.
In 2002 we had reports from 9 countries intelligence services that Saddam had WMD and was working to get a nuke. That was not enough. NOW we can not even be sure who set off the Sarin gas, and we must go to war immediately, but now, we can wait a month or so for congress, and it wont be boots on the ground, unless it is boots on the ground, after the limited strike fails to shock and awe.
A little Middle East history; Carter usurped the Shah because he was a dictator, but he maintained stability in the region, and kept the Islamist radicals at bay. Now the radicals are in charge.
Obama undermined Mubarak because he was a dictator. But he maintained stability, and defended American interests, and kept the radical islamists at bay. NOW the Islamists are in charge.
Obama actively helped overthrow Libya, and ushered in the Radical Islamists, now it is a broken country descending into sectarian violence, but ALL the sects have one common enemy, AMERICA! They burn Obama in effigy, for his interference.
NOW, Obama wants to insert the US into ANOTHER sectarian civil war, to affect change, with the most likely outcome being the Alqaeda backed rebels taking over.
WHEN does the president STOP using our money and lives to help our enemies take over countries?
