Unreal…Obama Tells Supporters: "I've Never Been More Confident That Our Nation Is Headed in Right Direction"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, August 17, 2010, 7:16 PM
Worst. President. Ever.
Less than one week ago the Obama Administration announced that the July deficit totaled $165 billion…
That’s more than the Bush deficit for the entire year of 2007.
During the Bush years, despite the 2000 Recession, the attacks on 9-11, the stock market scandals, Hurricane Katrina, and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush Administration was able to reduce the budget deficit from 412 billion dollars in 2004 to 162 billion dollars in 2007, a sixty percent drop.
In 2004 the federal budget deficit was 412 billion dollars. In 2005 it dropped to 318 billion dollars. In 2006 the deficit dipped to 248 billion dollars. And, in 2007 it fell below 200 billion to 162 billion dollars. During the Bush years the average unemployment rate was 5.2 percent, the economy saw the strongest productivity growth in four decades and there was robust GDP growth.
After an unheard of record deficit last year of $1.4 Trillion the economy is on track to experience a $1.47 Trillion deficit this year.
Unemployment is at record levels.
But, that didn’t stop Barack Obama from telling supporters today that he’s never been more confident that the US is going in the right direction.
My FOX DC reported:
President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he has “never been more confident that our nation is headed in the right direction.”
“We are doing what is needed to move forward, and we’re doing what’s necessary not just to rebuild the economy for the short term, we want to rebuild it for the long term,” the president said at a Seattle fundraiser for Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash).
Obama said his administration will “keep fighting as hard as we can for as long as it takes to turn this economy around,” adding, “The United States does not play for second place – we play for first.”
He also railed against Republicans for attempting to impede his efforts to rebuild the economy.
“Their slogan is ‘no we can’t.’ That’s really inspiring, this vision they have for the future,” the president joked. “Gives you a little pep in your step when you hear it.”
Yeah, America is going in the right direction… if you want the economy to collapse.

He wants to rebuild the United States of America as the United Soviet Socialist States of America. So yes, things are moving rapidly in the right direction.
bitterclinger commented:
He’s not even trying to hide it anymore. He slaps the US in the face with these insults on a daily basis — and he likes it. He lives for it. He’s got to go.
Militant Conservative commented:
This is his Malignant narcissist side talking. He can do no wrong and believes fully in his ideology of redistribution and keysian economics. Which have been tested in reality to fail every time. Hang on cuz the worst is yet to hit. the terd in chief is deluded from reality and unable to make sound decisions. powder is dry.
gride commented:
Well in his defense, it is the right direction….for him. He wants to destroy this country and he is doing that. So this is the direction he wants us to be going.

Yep, the right direction: right into the ground! UGGGHHH! I wish that man would shut up!
regularguy commented:
Just take a step back and think about the moving train wreck we’re on. I can’t come to any other conclusion except that we’ve got a violent, bloody future on our hands. Any comparison to history seems to point to some sort of war to stop the abject madness the progressives and islamists are causing. God forbid it, but I’m starting to prepare for a very ugly future. It’s still going to take a major political roll-back after November to put us back on track after all the damage he and his ilk have inflicted. It’s just pure madness.

Barry can’t give a speech without his straw man next to him.
His opponents never said, “no we can’t”. But Barry the scarecrow prez trots out the straw man and claims that is what his opponents are saying.
Many leftists do this. Make atrocious statements and attribute them to their adversaries.
“I can see Russia from my house.” <==Palin never said that.

Francesca commented:
Is it possible that he is so clueless that he really believes all the stuff he says? He seems totally disconnected from reality. However, it is the same old question . . . is he just incompetent, or is he carrying out his plan of bringing down our dear country? It is giving me a major headache not to mention depression trying to figure out his daily antics. Every morning is another outrageous Obama move.
Multitude commented:
I would encourage others to take President Obama seriously. This is a man who has a profound compulsion to signify his true intent, be it a middle finger brushing his nose when referring to Palin, McCain or the American people. He signifies verbally as well, in a manner that can and should be counter-read through fascist theory, as he fully expects not to be understood by the ilk of today that constitutes the populace, but the brilliant minds in the future who will regard him as the true transcendent leader.
Obama believes profoundly in his role in history. No normal political figure could willfully arrive at the state he has accomplished in just two years. What is more interesting is to determine where this path has been illuminated, and by whom. As one who rejects strong conspiracies, it’s evident Obama has and continues to be guided, narcissistic ego stroked by those clever enough to light a path that centers on his historical role (but leads toward a configuration suitable to their interests).
What most in the middle and lower classes fail to recognize is this: implosion of this economy is certain. The economic elites realize we’re racing toward a violent upheaval that France experienced under Robespierre (and America hasn’t yet encountered), but rather than encounter a volatility and uncertainty that will most likely result in the seizure of their assets and probably the risk to their safety, they have chosen fascism for the rest of us instead (a clever move, akin to the same choice of post-USSR). Privatize the community property of the American commons and socialize the risk.
The predominant likelihood is not optimistic: you who reads this are already sold into slavery. You just don’t realize it yet. Ask the holders of Federal treasuries who has guaranteed their bonds if you require clarification. Obamacare? Cap and Trade? Card Check? Just further mechanisms to impose biopower controls over the populace. You’ve conveniently ignored the radical expansion of the surveillance state — from Bush’s “domestic” spying on international calls to Obama’s “international” surveillance of domestic emails, blog posts and other online activities. You’re watched, tracked, taxed and controlled to the point that resistance will indeed be futile.
If you think for a moment that a change of government to a Republican House will restore your liberties, you rightfully deserve no such freedom.
jainphx commented:
Multitude—- And just what is it you suggest?
richard bagg commented:
I find myself in total agreement with multitude’s post. As to jainphx’s question… Revolution in the form of Armed insurrection is the obvious answer. Anything less will be window dressing and nothing more.

interesting, but seems only partially correct…
the center-right, majority of America, needs to start by electing as many conservatives as possible starting in Nov 2010…
There are other areas which need WORK:
- support center-right teaching in schools/univs
- de-support / don’t buy hollyweird anti-USA movies, etc
- de-support, don’t buy goods/services from big government…
THINK big but ACT local…
also… doesn’t help to keep moaning the world is all doom and gloom… the glass is also half full
keep the pressure on non-constitutional representatives EVERYwhere
don’t be a slave: GO GALT

He wasn’t talking about the economy heading in the right direction. He was talking about his success at stealing the nation’s wealth and handing it over to the parasite class. Reparations by any means possible.
The parasites said, “We want our Obama Money,” and Obama delivered.

Case Closed, The First Termer Obama, the Dumbest, Most Inept President EVAH!
I mused before ObamaDumbo got elected in the first place, what would happen when America discovered that Obama was basically Marion Berry without the crack. It’s happened.
Let’s face it. It’s evident that Obama was elected as an “experiment”. The MSM carried him over the threshold just to be in on the history of covering the first black president (although Bill Clinton was the first). They knew he was over his head. They knew he wasn’t even remotely qualified. But they couldn’t help themselves.
I mused back that once America sniffed out just how incompetent Obama is at the job of President of the United States the fall would be swift.
[...]
I still laugh when they call Obama “smart”. Smart people don’t consistently mouth their way into a pile of excrement. Smart people know when to shut the hell up or better yet not talk at all. Smart people don’t continually get associated with morons like Jeremiah Wright and sit in his g*dd*mn so-called “church” for 20 years listening to racist rants and anti-American sentiment and claim they didn’t hear a thing.
Smart people don’t make up crap as they go along.
Smart people can talk without the help of a g-d d*mn teleprompter for g-ds sake.
Let’s dispense with the “Obama is smart”, he’s not. He’s a dope. Simon knows it, America knows it. It won’t be long before the rest of the MSM joins in the funeral procession, rinsing their hands of Obama in sackcloth and ashes claiming they had nothing to do with it.
They have to, they can’t stand to see the carnage and god knows they don’t want to be blamed for him screwing the country so far into the ground that it will take decades to reverse the effects.
Fine mess you got us into, no wonder the public doesn’t trust you anymore.

Armed insurrection should and must be the last, very last option. What do you think our enemy’s will be doing while we fight. Look I’m not saying in the end it wont come to that, but common sense tells us to try everything else first. Lets just concentrate on VOTING as many of the scum out first. The LORD moves in mysterious ways. Vote and PRAY.

‘Defense: A Pentagon report suppressed by the administration describes a massive Chinese military buildup that has only one purpose: to deny us access to the Western Pacific and destroy American forces that try.
The required annual report to Congress on China’s military power was finally released Monday amid questions of why the document, due in March, was delayed five months. With the Ground Zero mosque dominating the news, maybe now was considered a good time to sneak the grim news past the American people.’

There is a phrase used today that throws into doubt our whole electoral process: The margin of vote fraud. Republicans have to beat this percentage, around 5%, in order to win any election. We’ve seen vote fraud in the WA governor’s race in ’04 and Franken’s win in MN in ’08, among many documented cases of vote fraud.
What happens when our votes are nullified by vote fraud? Do you honestly this this DoJ will leap to the electorate’s defense?
Opus #6 commented:
Rick Z, then we need to win and win big. Hands down, this is the most important election of our lives. If you need to drive your elderly mother to the polls, then do so.
RickZ commented:
Opus # 6,
I understand your point about winning big, but that’s not my point. My point is vote fraud is increasing, without any corresponding increase in arrests and trials for same. Why should a party be handicapped and forced to ‘win big’? This is like pissing into the wind and expecting to stay dry.
Until there are criminal trials for vote fraud (even voter registration fraud, which leads directly to vote fraud), with long jail sentences for those convicted, we are spinning our wheels. And with this DoJ, I have no confidence in their doing the correct thing and bringing such cases to trial. We’ve already seen how this Administration handles voter intimidation in Philly with the New Black Panthers case they dropped after winning.
When people begin to see their vote is no longer relevent, violence will ensue. Then, and only then, will the DoJ step in, taking on those who protest their votes being detroyed through vote fraud.
It’s a real ‘down the rabbit hole’ world we now live in.
Oh, and I agree this is the most important election in the history of this nation, far more important than the 1860 one (and we know where that one led). This election will show whether we stop the communist onslaught against our noble Constitution or not. If we don’t stop this progressive march now (and there are progressives in both parties, to the Republicans’ shame), I hate to think what this Country will look like in a few years. Of course, if nothing changes in ’10 and ’12, then it will be too late to be peaceful about the matter. The current crop of Dem pols have already denigrated and ridiculed the Tea Party protest of last September 12th, when upwards of a million people peacably assembled in D.C. and petitioned their government for redress of their grievances. If things stay the same, then a whole new generation will learn the hard way that our rights are not eternal but rather ephemeral, only around thanks to perpetual vigilance.

“We are doing what is needed to move forward, and we’re doing what’s necessary not just to rebuild the economy for the short term, we want to rebuild it for the long term,”…
Please substitute the word “destroy” for the word “rebuild” to find the true intent of Obama’s quote above.

i think that there’s more than enough examples

when they were in the midst of a drought and
couldn’t get a drop out of the gov controlled water authority. voting yes on obamacare this year helped secure water…the don obama may

Revolution is what he wants. It’s what he provokes. And he will say, like he did with the Mosque, that it’s unAmerican.
And people will believe that, like with the Mosque.
All he ever needs are *just enough people* to get away with what he does. He knows that.
Alana commented:
Also, you’ll note that whatever most Americans think, he thinks the opposite. Most think the country is headed in the wrong direction (more think that than ever before, iirc). So naturally, he immediately addresses that by proclaiming the opposite.
I personally don’t think this does him any good.
Scott Brooks commented:
Well, since the Democrats know that all they have to do is say a thing in order for that thing to be true, then Obama is right.
The economy is, indeed, heading in the right direction, because Obama has said it is so.
