President Obama this morning told NBC that the upcoming election could come down to "a choice between the policies that got us into this mess and my policies that got us out of this mess."
To call this Chutzpah does not do it justice. Obama has the nerve to speak of his policies that got us out of the mess. Which ones are those? The ones that brought unemployment over 10% when he promised that 8% would be the maximum if his plans were adopted? could it be the policies that put about a quarter of the residents of the gulf coast out of work on top of the already high unemployment as a result of the incompetent clean up destroying tourism and the drilling freeze destroying the Oil and gas industries? Maybe he means the policies of bailing out GM and Chrysler in a way that required about half of their dealers to close with the resulting hundreds of thousands of folks forced out of work. Maybe he means his policies that so spooked the business community that investment has dried up while busnessmen wait to see what rules will be in place for the future.
Obama has killed more jobs than even he claims to have created or saved. He has the worst record with regard to employment since Herbert Hoover. Even so, it does not stop him from lying about getting us out of the mess. Obama is a gifted orator. He needs, however, to have someone write something believable for him to deliver. Telling the country that he has gotten us out of the mess only makes Obama look like an idiot or a blatant liar. And we all know he is not an idiot.
