Obama: Recovery Will Take Years Not Months
With the economy still firmly in the grip of a tenacious recession, President Obama is urging Americans to have patience and give his economic recovery plan time to work.
Restating themes he laid out in his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama said in an op-ed posted early Sunday on The Washington Post’s Web site that his $787 billion stimulus program was not expected to return the economy to full health, but to provide a boost that would stop the free fall.
“So far, it has done that,” the president wrote. “It was, from the start, a two-year program, and it will steadily save and create jobs as it ramps up over this summer and fall.”
Really? “It has done that”? I’m not sure what planet that man is from, or which one he is currently residing, but it sure isn’t the same one I am seeing! If anything, his moronic plan has made things a WHOLE lot worse. What jobs is he ‘creating’? Seriously, I wish someone would tell me. If any at all, are there more than the 3 million that have been lost?
“Simply put, this is now President Obama’s economy and the American people are beginning to question whether his policies are working,” Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House Republican whip, said in the GOP’s weekly address.
Oh yeah. He owns this one! It is ALL his, and his socialist minions. If he had left things alone, odds are, we would already be seeing some recovery. But no….like all children, he had to tinker with it, and make it worse!
Obama, in the op-ed, said “Even as we rescue this economy from a full-blown crisis, I have insisted that we must rebuild it better than before.”
Uh huh. His idea of ‘better than before” is an economy run totally by the giverment. And we see how well that’s worked, haven’t we. People have lost any faith in their gubmint, and when that happens, it’s time to dissolve it, and start from scratch…..RETURN to the republic, which the Founder Fathers created. The one I’ve watch erode over my lifetime, but nothing like it has during the past 7 months!
Health care costs must be controlled, jobs created within the U.S., worker training programs established and budget deficits reduced, he said.
So, the United Socialist States of America, once a proud nation, is going the way of the Soviet Union, and we all know how well that worked out, don’t we. Yeah. That makes boatloads of sense.
