Obama Continues to Lie About Jobs; Says "I Expect to Be Held Accountable" (Video)

Worst. President. Ever.
Barack Obama is the worst president in history on job creation–
According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. shed 2.3 million jobs since February 2009, Obama’s first full month in office. Since Obama’s election in 2008, the US economy has shed 4.4 million jobs. That’s worse than Herbert Hoover.
The June numbers were even worse for the president. The economy lost 125,000 jobs due to his disastrous policies. Despite this, President Obama has repeatedly lied to the press saying, “We’ve now gained jobs in the private sector for five consecutive months.” Of course, it’s too much to ask the corrupt media to correct him on this obvious lie. After all, they didn’t earn the reputation of being the state-run media for nothing.
About the record unemployment, President Obama told NBC that,
“I expect to be held accountable.”
Leftist NBC announcer Chuck Todd interviewed Obama in Michigan this week.

AOL News reported:
In an interview that aired today on NBC’s “Today” show, the president said he is prepared “to be held accountable for the policies that I’ve put in place,” including massive overhauls of the health care and financial systems. Citing those changes, along with investments in education, clean energy and dealing with deficits and entitlements, Obama said: “Those structural challenges have to be fixed. And it’s hard because you don’t see immediate gratification.
“But what I’d say to the person who’s out of a job right now is we are gonna be doing everything we can to create the environment where the private sector can come in and start creating jobs. But I’m not any more satisfied than they are. And until they can find a job, I expect to be held accountable.”
Obama, whose job approval ratings are mediocre, still remains more popular than Congress, whose members will face voters this fall. While history shows and current polling predicts that Democrats will lose seats in November, the president echoed his party’s pitch to voters to stick with the current majority.
“We had a disaster on our hands,” he said of the economic landscape when he took office. “We’ve been able to stabilize the economy and prevent the freefall. Instead of 750,000 jobs a month being lost, we’ve now gained jobs in the private sector for five consecutive months. But we’ve still got a long way to go.”

Total disconnect from reality/
Nearly a million homes are expected to be foreclosed upon this year.
Foreclosure activity in the U.S. real estate market increased by 7 percent in the first quarter of 2010, according to RealtyTrac’s U.S. Foreclosure Market Report. Default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions were reported on 932,234 properties in the first quarter. The pace of foreclosure activity seems to have increased through the three-month period ending March 31.That doesn’t sound like an economy that is roaring back to me.
A million foreclosures mean that there is a million families who might have a different take on Obama’s recovery.

Well actually Bush left me this mess and the Republicans are blocking my legislation. So you can’t blame me.

aro5057, LOL, Persian. No Jobs, families on the street. First comes the panick, then comes the violence, then comes the oppression, then comes the real ugly violence. Hurry November.

“There have been more delays, obstruction and stalling when it comes to just appointing people to run the day to day aspects of Washington than any President has experienced in history…”
Whine, whine, whine, exaggerate. Just maybe if he knew some normal people instead of appointing leftist freaks to run our lives for us, he could get some things done.
“The other aspect is that I can’t play political games with the Senate on these issues…”
He’s not playing “political games” with the Senate. What is happening is their constituents are keeping their phones lit up and their ears chewed out because of all the crap their passing in Washington these days – bills that haven’t been read, massive takeovers of industry, lies about “you can keep your insurance” and “there will be no rationing” and “no public funds will be used for abortions”. Most of Congress (except the Democrats that just don’t care) is just trying to get re-elected.
So, BO isn’t playing political games with the Senate…he’s playing political games with the people – and from his poll numbers, they don’t like the way he plays.
neomom commented:
Mr. President, would that be Bill Clinton accountable or Coucescu accountable. I prefer the latter.
Tom commented:
It’s all just a big sound bite. Everything the man says is nonsense.
Elly commented:
Well, that’s very reassuring mr. president, while you’re off vacationing – I guess that’s not part of your “image” of being accountable…

Yah, he will be held accountable – that is correct, and it involves capital punishment for treason.

I am so angry this morning at Obama I am shaking. He is trying to blame the Republicans for everything. He says they won’t extend unemployment insurance for the poorest and the want to give tax breaks to the rich. Ya know what give me a f—– break. This from a guy who golfs, takes numerous vacations, etc. on the taxpayer’s dime. He wants to talk about spending money? What a jerk. At this time in history, America doesn’t have a president that is for ALL the people. We have a dictator. He makes me sicker everyday. It’s disgusting.
I’ve been hearing the word MALAISE tossed around again. I believe that word is an apt description of America right now.
Obama is ABSOLUTELY the WORST president in history. Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What makes me even angrier is that, even though the Demonrats have the majority, which means it’s theirs and they own it to pass or not pass whatever legislation as they please even if every Republican votes to oppose them, his media and libturded followers will buy this sh!t about “the party of no” keeping him from making all the wonderful “change” he promised as candidate.
That these same libturds whinged and moaned constantly about GWB’s golf games, which totaled fewer in two terms that Oilbama’s in 17 months, and the vacations he took, which didn’t amount to squat compared His Incompetency’s, but don’t say jack about their Obamessiah golfing and vacationing, angers me even more.
It can’t be said enough: The hypocrisy of libturds knows no bounds.

Haven’t read from the links yet. Just want to comment about the “Ten Commandments” quotes and how their goal appears to me to be a return to pagan Earth worship. Mother Earth, the giver of life, Father Sun (Baal)…then there’s the moon as a god with a name…fertility rituals (the roots of modern-day Easter and Christmas traditions), and so on.
By the way, in pre-MooHamHead Arabia, one of the many names of either the god of the sun or the moon was “Allah.” Another god of that time in the same region was Rhamadan.
Yeah, it’s all coming together as prophesied.
