Please Define “Doing Just Fine”, SCoaMF
In one of the more memorable stuttering clusterfucks so characteristic of the Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure, Der Fubar assured us today:
In a White House news conference focused on the threat the worsening Eurozone crisis poses to the U.S. economy, Obama said Congress needed to act on his jobs plan to boost hiring in state and local governments. “The private sector is doing just fine,” he argued.
Once the hysterical laughter had died down, Romney replied:
“Is he really that out of touch? I think he’s defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the American people,” Romney told supporters in a park in Council Bluffs, Iowa. “Has there ever been an American president who is so far from reality?”
Yes, he is, Mittens and no, there hasn’t.
Yet another SCoaMF first!
Then the Greatest Orator of All Time Since… Since EVERYBODY!™ decided to “clarify” his remark that the economy was “doing just fine”:
“It’s is absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine, that’s the reason I had the press conference,” the president said Friday afternoon in response to a reporter’s question.
“And that’s exactly the reason why I said that… Wait, can I get another Mulligan on that one?”
Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure.
Thatisall.

That’s what happens when jugears doesn’t have the option of voting “present”.
Henry Mencken is finally proven wrong.
This is why they don’t let him get more than five feet from a teleprompter or hold impromptu news conferences. When he can’t read something or answer an off the cuff question his garden slug level of intellect is there for the world to marvel at. I have a feeling his college transcripts are going to be “Daniel Ellsberged” before the election.
God I miss Reagan…
Another microphone, another whopper. This guy should open a hamburger franchise, except for the small fact that he couldn’t even operate a lemonade stand without fifteen sycophants, three lawyers, and a duck.
The absolutely terrifying thing is that a considerable number of the Great Unwashed Masses™ actually swallow his unabashedly bold-faced lies. These aren’t misquotes, these are LIES.
I hope the GUM’s betters’ (us) stomp him at the polls this November.
Regan is doing 3000 RPM and gaining momentum.
I can’t help remembering that the PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY elected that piece of shit.
So, how’s that Democracy working out for ya, Amerika? Getting a clue there may have been a real
reason the Founders set the framework for a Republic? Ultimately, democracy gives the people
precisely what they deserve; for they will vote for that which most reflects what they themselves are.
When shit votes, shit gets elected, and the country goes to shit.
#doingjustfine has become a popular twitter tag … and meme generating device.
You wouldn’t have your union buddies in mind now, would you, barack?
The Left’s answer to the deficit: raise taxes to protect spending. The Left’s answer to the weak economy: raise taxes to enable new spending. The Left’s answer to the looming sovereign-debt crisis: raise taxes to pay off old spending. For the Left, every deficit is a revenue-side problem, not a spending-side problem, and the solution to every economic problem is more spending, necessitating more taxes

I’m assuming that the duck is included because he would be the brains of this particular grouping.
Even as he backpedals furiously, the ads are still running.
The message was never for us, but for the poor unfortunate sufferers of that horrible CRFS disorder.
‘Been finding them everywhere. ‘Can’t argue with ‘em. It’s like they have some ‘absolute truth’ that precludes and trumps any germane evidence.
Situational awareness be damned.
Y’wanna cuss, but then y’gotta mind your blood pressure,, divide that by the odds of anything good coming from the “discussion”,, so,,’worked off a little steam makin’ this.
(Yes, a deadly,,pure gallows humor pun. My profound respect to the Monk.)
Fine for him. He’s worth 8 figures.
LC Light29ID says:
That is a deliberate and malicious slur. Why are you being so hard on garden slugs?
Didn’t McCain say something to that effect about four years ago?
History does repeat…
But then, if you actually paid attention to WHAT Obama was talking about instead of just isolating the seven words to make it appear that he was saying something he wasn’t…
Here are some pictures that plainly illustrate things a lot better.
Oh, and I am going to try a little experiment in a couple of days with that website. I am going to open it up to whoever wants to start blogging. EVERYONE will have author status to post their own content as long as it is mostly graphic images. No X-rated images though. I’d like to keep it somewhat “family”..
Unfortunately, the children in all 58 states are exposed to His flapdoodle, but TG we have DJ to assure us He didn’t say what He said.

there’s only 57 states Frank, at least that’s what obama tells me……
DJ Allyn says:
if only Uhhhhbama paid attention to what he says, but then I guess he finds his unscripted monologues as tedious and uninformative as I do. I cannot stand to listen to this guy talk unpromptered, it’s unbearable in it’s incoherence
There is no way to walk that back. He clearly said he’s more concerned about public sector jobs.
Which is freaking insane. You’ve had millions of people drop out of the labor pool in the past few months, including over 700,000 women.
“Doing just fine” my ass.
The end game for affirmative action…
The “man” would be pathetic if he weren’t so damn dangerous.

Oh DJ you Magnificently Ignorant Liberal Slut™ lets take a look at that McCain quote shall we? This is what the Limp Dick Media screeched McCain said:
Now lets look at the “full” quote:
Kinda alters the meaning does it? Now lets look at Obongo The Keyean Klingon Fuckers™ full quote:
Nope the private sectors fine and
doesn’t needwon’t get my help because the fucking bastards won’t pay me so fuck’em. However, I need to help local governments hire more union employees so I can get shit loads of more coerced union dues for my campaign.Somebody needs to re-tune that fuckers ears, cuz he aint receiving what’s being broadcast.
I think that Brit Hume had it right when he said that Obama didn’t misspeak and he’s not out of touch with his ultimate goals. Obama despises private industry – for him the bigger the government the better. Remember in”Dreams of my Father” Obama (or his alleged ghost-writer) described Obama sr ideal gov where everyone worked for the govt and the govt provided everything that their subjects “needed.”? And in the book Obama jrindicated that this was his goal? He really is worried about public sector roll backs.
Just heard on the weekend’s “Best of Rush” that most of the 68,000 new jobs for the some/month were part-time!
Yeah, folks, the economy’s doing just fine – compared to Outer Botswana…
I’ll say it again; The government considers one employed if you work ONE HOUR a week.
We can’t all be postal workers.
Where does the money come from to pay “public sector” paychecks? Taxes. Therefore, if everybody works for the government, the taxes that pay the paychecks come out of your own pocket. The rate of the spiral to total insolvency comes pretty damn fast.
135,000,000 jobs in America before Il Douche took over.
131,000,000 jobs now.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Only in Il Douche’s “New Progressive Math” is going from 135 million to 131 million an improvement.
I made this image for Jay, but I thought I would share it here also.
“I made this image for Jay, but I thought I would share ti here also.” Deej, I have not clicked on that link yet, because I remember the times when I have innocently clicked on links by BC, Radical Redneck, the Major, and, (knife in the back) Intellectual Conservative. I am all out of Brain Bleach, DJ. I don’t know if I want to take the chance and click on that link. I know that links from the first four will make you want to grab a soldering iron and do a do-it-yourself cauterization of the visual cortex, but I’m not so sure of you DJ. Will following that link and looking at the image cause visual, mental, spiritual, or phychological trauma?

IIRC, what ear leader said was that he’d been to all 57 states, with one more to go. So either there are 58; or 57, with a stealth state thrown in for good measure.

I dunno — does laughter effect you differently?
I would give the image a “G” rating. Jay sent me an image of a windmill on fire. I just provided the cause for the fire.
Okay, Deej. That was funny.
But, you have to admit I had good reason for skepticism and caution, considering what the Four Photoshoppers of teh Apocalypse have posted around here. 
Leadership: An incoherent press conference and contradictory explanation show that if the president thinks the answer to job-killing federal policies is boosting state and local governments with borrowed money, we’re really in trouble.
‘Tone deaf” fails to describe President Obama’s statement at Friday’s press conference that “the private sector is doing fine,” when median income is down 10% in three years, family net worth has plunged 39%, 23 million Americans are out of work and the official unemployment rate tops 8% for the 40th month in a row, the longest sustained period at that level since the Great Depression.

Obama, who as a candidate in 2008 said George W. Bush was “unpatriotic” for adding $4 trillion to the national debt over eight years, is on pace to rack up $6.2 trillion in debt by the end of his first four years in office. That is the most of any president in American history. The country’s debt per capita is currently larger than Greece’s.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected that the president’s most recent budget proposal would add an additional $6.4 trillion to the national debt by 2022, and would have a negative impact on long-term economic growth.
Yet Cutter insisted the national debt was an issue on which Obama has led successfully. “The president has a deficit reduction plan on the table—a detailed plan to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion—$2 trillion of that has already been enacted into law,” she said. “That’s real progress in paying down our debt in a responsible, balanced way.”
The statement does not withstand scrutiny, however. Cutter may have been referring to the proposal Obama put forward in September 2011—titled: “Living Within Our Means and Investing in the Future”—that would allegedly reduce the deficit by $3.2 trillion over a decade.
However, independent analysts criticized that plan as anything but “responsible.” The Washington Post reported at the time:
The latest Obama plan “doesn’t produce any more in realistic savings than the plan they offered in April,” said Maya MacGuineas, president of the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “They’ve filled in details, repackaged it and replaced one gimmick with another. They don’t even stabilize the debt. This is just not enough.”
The most disheartening development, MacGuineas and others said, is Obama’s decision to count $1.1 trillion in savings from the drawdown of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan toward his debt-reduction total. Because Obama has no intention of continuing war spending at last year’s elevated levels, that $1.1 trillion would never have been spent. …
“Almost $2 trillion of the $3 trillion [savings] total is obtained by choosing the most convenient baseline assumption,” said Robert Bixby, executive director of the bipartisan Concord Coalition. “There are, of course, some legitimate proposals here, but not the kind of structural changes that are needed in entitlement programs and tax expenditures to put the budget on a sustainable path.”
Republican budget analysts calculated that after such gimmicks were accounted for, the president’s plan was little more than a $1.6 trillion tax increase.
Some of the $2 trillion in spending cuts agreed to as part of last year’s debt ceiling compromise have been drawn from Obama’s own proposals. But the president and every leading Democrat also vigorously opposed any spending cuts attached to a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
Later in the segment, Cutter made inaccurate claims about Romney and the GOP budget proposal authored by House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.).
“Mitt Romney has these grand plans of how he’s going to balance the budget and adopt the Ryan budget to reduce the deficit,” she said. “There’s not one single study out there that shows that the Ryan plan would actually result in deficit reduction.”
Several studies contradict Cutter’s claim. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), for example, estimated that Ryan’s plan “would result in much lower deficits and debt in the long run” compared with current CBO projections, largely through reforming the entitlement programs that are the primary drivers of the national debt.
“Under the proposal, the federal budget would show a deficit of about 2 percent of GDP in 2022, a slight surplus in 2040, and a surplus of about 4 percent of GDP in 2050,” writes CBO. “The ratio of debt to GDP would fall sharply—from about 70 percent of GDP in 2022 to about 10 percent in 2050.”
Maya MacGuineas of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, who criticized Obama’s deficit plan in the Washington Post story cited above, said Ryan’s budget “puts our nation on a fiscally sustainable path, and he deserves praise for making many of the hard choices necessary to do so.”
That is different from President Obama’s budget, under which the U.S. “fiscal position gradually deteriorates” after 2022, according to the White House’s own analysis. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told members of Congress in February: “Even if Congress were to enact [the president’s] budget, we would still be left with…unsustainable commitments in Medicare and Medicaid.”
When asked about Obama’s most recent controversial remarks about the economy—“the private sector is doing fine”—Cutter slammed the press for taking the statement “out of context.” She said the president has presided over “steady job growth in the private sector,” despite taking office “in the mist [sic] of the nation’s greatest recession we’ve ever seen.”
While many experts have argued that the current recession is the worst since the Great Depression, certainly few would agree with Cutter that it is the worst since the nation’s founding more than two centuries ago.
There is evidence to suggest, however, that the current recovery is actually one of the worst in American history. As former White House economic adviser Edward Lazear noted in the Wall Street Journal, the economy averaged growth rates of 11 percent in the three years following the Great Depression, while experiencing average annual growth of a little more than 2 percent since 2010. The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis has compiled a chart indicating that the current recovery is far less vigorous than others since World War II.
