The Washington Times published an Editorial on April 20, 2012 titled,
“Where’s the recovery?” It mirrored all the bad news on our supposed
“getting healthy” economy along with the discouraging views of the
economic fundamentals and new jobless claims creating long faces and
nervous hair pulling, while smiles abound in our anti-American White
House and among its inhabitants.
Believe it or not, all this bad news about the country that less than four
years ago was considered the greatest nation in the world, is pleasing
to our White House staff and all of its minions, czars and secretaries.
Obama’s mission is to totally destroy America as the world has known it
for the past two hundred and thirty plus years and see poverty and
hardships abound where once the fruits of our forebears’ diligence and
INTELLIGENCE (a commodity that is sorely lacking today) created
prosperity and leadership for the entire world to follow.
People SHOULD be asking, where the recovery is; it is certainly
costing the taxpayers huge sums of money to keep this charlatan in the
Oval Office in spending money for his communist, socialist and Islamist
buddies in the depths and pestholes of the world. He is determined to
put all of us along side those sand-flea-bitten cretins he calls
peaceful and enlightened.
The Times editorial announces that new jobless claims are the highest
they’ve been since late January, the four-week average stubbornly
hovering around the 375,000 mark. They also say that “Though we’re
technically in a recovery, nobody believes it. A Rasmussen Reports
survey earlier this week shows a majority is under the impression
America is still in recession.” And why not? Recoveries see indicators
of increased employment, more consumer goods being manufactured and
purchased and costs of consumables dropping instead of rising as they
are today.
One can imagine the smiles on Obama’s and his staff’s faces when they
hear about another huge increase in the cost of a gallon of gas at the
pumps. Just like the mythical Midas whose magic touch turned the item
touched into gold, probably smiling until he died of hunger these greedy
thieves will get their just dues one of these days.
As the editorial states, the country needs an explosion of industry
but all Obama is producing is a fizzle. The Philadelphia Reserve Bank
found manufacturing output growth slowed slightly in the mid-Atlantic
region, with its index of general business activity for the factory
sector falling from 12.5 in March to 8.5 in April.
Numbers such as
those do nothing to restore the confidence in America’s economic
indicators. They tend to keep people wondering when the great “messiah”
they foolishly elected in November 2008 will begin delivering on his
failed promises of “change for a better
America.”
When the people don’t feel good about their future they don’t invest
in homes and as stated in the editorial, with a significant chunk of the
market still in the process of foreclosure, housing won’t recover
anytime soon.
The economy is having a difficult time as consumer prices continue to
spiral upwards; all of which Obama and his people continue to do
absolutely nothing to remedy. As I stated above, this all fits in
nicely with Obama’s desires, particularly when oil and gas prices
escalate with no efforts from the White House to suppress or turn around
the rises.
Not too long ago Obama had an opportunity to make the price of oil
take a nose dive when the Keystone XL pipeline was presented for his
approval and he rejected it with some spurious reasoning. We all
remember a few years back when the last petroleum price explosion was
about to hit and all it took to get the OPEC producers to drop the price
was the renewal of talk amongst Republican politicos to open new area
for domestic drilling for oil. The prices tumbled to nearly half of what
they reached.
This Administration, under the usurper Obama, makes no attempt to
even talk about oil production increases for America; he instead
denigrates the idea until his serfs in the Democrat Party back off in
fear of losing favor with him. These wimps have all joined Obama’s
socialist-communist planning for the U. S. and oppose any efforts that
would be beneficial for the country.
