Incredulity: Who Elected This President???

So, from what I can detect amidst all the partisan fluff:

The reason America elected Obama, twice, by comfortable margins, is that America is stupid.

The GOP ran great candidates with great messages, so they are not to blame in any way. No, really.

Okay, the thread is now up to date, and you're welcome.
.


"The reason America elected Obama, twice, by comfortable margins, is that America is stupid."

Really?

Or is this yet one more attempt by a dunce to avoid admitting the abject and utter failure of Obama?



As I noted earlier, and you verify now,...

Numerous Obama supporters/Liberals have chosen to respond to the thread, the title of which includes "Who Voted For This President?"

As is my wont, the posts are fact-laden, and all are doctumented..

It is noteworthy that, while the facts produced ire in the Leftist mob.....not a single one tried to deny any of them!!!
Hence....all true....and so must be the implication about Obama and of his voters.


Second....the correct answer to the title...
the unintelligent, and the ineducable.


At least you're not alone....your greatest fear.
 
Obama was elected by a combination of incredibly gullible and ignorant masses and the cynical, corrupt elites who prey upon them.

Hopenchange!

Is this an attempt to hide your embarrassment about not knowing the definitions of 'import' or 'conspiracy'?

Didn't work.
You just keep telling yourself that.
More proof of your pretentiousness.



Are you returning for further instruction in vocabulary?

Or, in economics?
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

2."....US hourly wages have not only not increased for the past 7 years,but for thevast majority of the labor force continue to decline,.... just the month of August will be enough to provide the Trump - and every other - campaign with enough soundbites and pivot points to last it for weeks on end: namely,that in August a whopping 698,000 native-born Americans lost their job.This drop was offset by 204,000 foreign-born Americans, who got a job in the month of August. ....since December 2007, according to the Household Survey,only 790,000 native born Americanjobs have been added.Contrast that withthe 2.1 million foreign-born Americanswho have found a job over the same time period..."698K Native-Born Americans Lost Their Job In August: Why This Suddenly Is The Most Important Jobs Chart | Zero Hedge

13. According to the2016 Index of Economic Freedom, an annual publication by The Heritage Foundation, America’s economic freedom has tumbled. With losses of economic freedom in eight of the past nine years, the U.S. has tied its worst score ever, wiping out a decade of progress. Since early2009:

· Government spending has exploded, amounting to $29,867 per household in 2015.

· The national debt has risen to $125,000 for every tax filing household in America—a total over $18 trillion.

· The government takeover of health care is raising prices and disrupting markets.

· Bailouts and new government regulations have increased uncertainty, stifling investment and job creation. America’s Economic Freedom Has Rapidly Declined Under Obama

Why the disparity in the numbers? Well, the unemployment rate does not take into account people who are not in, or have dropped out of, the workforce altogether.

19. "That basic math is why middle class incomes have been in decline under Obama.The Census Bureau reports that since Obama became President 7 years ago, real median household income has fallen by $1,300 a year. Heritage Foundation Chief Economist Steve Moore explained in testimony before the Ways and Means Committee, “At 2 percent growth the economy doesn’t spin off enough jobs to increase wages, and tax revenues grow much too slowly to balance the budget.”

The recession officially ended more than 6 years ago. Wages and incomes have always grown in recoveries, not declined. Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery. The economy is supposed to boom in a recovery to catch up with its long term economic growth trendline. But over 6 years after the recession ended, that still has not happened. Instead, what we have gotten under President Obama is the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression."http://limittaxes.org/2016/02/realizing-the-super-bowl-of-american-economic-growth/

People in need of work are twice as likely to take their own lives as employed people, and people fired in their forties and fifties find it hardest to get hired again.
That makes boosting economic growth a life- and- death issue. But you wouldn't know it listening to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. President Obama whitewashes reality, claiming the "American economy is pretty darn good right now."

· Government spending has exploded, amounting to $29,867 per household in 2015.

· The national debt has risen to $125,000 for every tax filing household in America—a total over $18 trillion.

· The government takeover of health care is raising prices and disrupting markets.

· Bailouts and new government regulations have increased uncertainty, stifling investment and job creation. America’s Economic Freedom Has Rapidly Declined Under Obama

The recession officially ended more than 6 years ago. Wages and incomes have always grown in recoveries, not declined. Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery. The economy is supposed to boom in a recovery to catch up with its long term economic growth trendline. But over 6 years after the recession ended, that still has not happened.

The recession officially ended more than 6 years ago. Wages and incomes have always grown in recoveries, not declined. Moreover, the American historical record is the deeper the recession, the stronger the recovery. The economy is supposed to boom in a recovery to catch up with its long term economic growth trendline. But over 6 years after the recession ended, that still has not happened. Instead, what we have gotten under President Obama is the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression."Realizing The Super Bowl Of American Economic Growth

12 of the 23 taxpayer funded non-profit co-ops created under the Affordable Care Act were shuttered, and the largest of them isunder investigation.

Records obtained by Richard Pollack of theDaily Callerindicate another 8 co-ops might be on their way out this year:

21. the United States had lost its once-enormous global lead in middle-class pay, based on international income surveys over the last three decades.After-tax median income in Canada appears to have been higher last year than the same measure in this country. The poor in Canada and much of western Europe earn more than the poor here.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/29/u...dgety-boys-and-a-sputtering-economy.html?_r=0

22. Middle aged people laid off and unable to find work are taking another way out. They're killing themselves. Suicide rates are soaring, according to federal data released last week. Especially in economically depressed states and job-starved upstate New York. People in need of work are twice as likely to take their own lives as employed people, and people fired in their forties and fifties find it hardest to get hired again.
That makes boosting economic growth a life- and- death issue. But you wouldn't know it listening to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. President Obama whitewashes reality, claiming the "American economy is pretty darn good right now."

23. "U.S. Economy Expands to 0.5% Pace, Weakest in Two Years
The U.S. economy expanded in the first quarter at the slowest pace in two years ....Gross domestic product rose at a 0.5 percent annualized rate after a 1.4 percent fourth-quarter advance, Commerce Department data showed Thursday. The increase was less than the 0.7 percent median projection in a Bloomberg survey and marked the third straight disappointing start to a year." http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...in-first-quarter-at-slowest-pace-in-two-years



What sort of moron does it take to imply that these failures are the responsibility of the GOP for not winning the election?

Clearly....your sort of moron.
:laugh:

Is there some kind of an answer in there somewhere?

Oh, and I just LOVE the "your sort of a moron" attack, just fabulous.

Did you miss this?

I wonder why you're so afraid to mention the two dozen documented, linked, source examples of Obama's ineptitude....

Any that aren't correct?

No? None?


Well, then....
Care to draw a conclusion from same. Rubber Ducky?
