— andy The RNC's new ad ripping Obama's claim that "our plan" worked appears below the fold.
The MFM is in full-on defense to try and keep this latest case of foot-in-mouth disease from blowing up like "the private sector is doing just fine" and "you didn't build that" by claiming ... wait for it ... that he was taken out of context.
See, "our" refers to the Obama/Clinton plan. Whatever that is.
Now it's true that Clinton raised marginal tax rates during his term just like Obama wants to do (at least on the eeevilll rich), but Clinton's spending impulses were also held in check by the GOP House takeover in 1994. And the shrinking of the budget deficit towards the end of his presidency benefited enormously from the one-time impact of the dot-com bubble.
Now along comes Obama to claim that "our plan", meaning Clinton's success and his abysmal failure to date, somehow average out to an overall net positive. If I were Bill Clinton, I'd be asking Obama, "what do you mean we"?
Unfortunately for Obama, voters aren't going to Clinton-era polling places with full employment and an economy riding a wave of irrational exuberance.
They're going to the polls to cast a referendum on his 40+ months of 8+% unemployment, anemic GDP growth, trillion+ dollar deficits, 30%+ increase in national debt and loss of our AAA credit rating.
But I wish him the best of luck.

Something they are conveniently ignoring.....
Hillarycare failed.
And it was the Republican-led congress that forced Clinton into balancing the budget.....which is what 'worked' the most, towards helping the economy.

Obama will not allow therm to relegate it to obscurity so they have to do something, even if it is an outrageous lie.
And they have relegated the "our plan worked" to the news dust bin. The thing is "their real plan is working". They are full on to conversion of the US to communism. They are halfway home to nationalizing healthcare. They have nationalized 2/3 of the auto industry and they are still working on nationalizing the energy sector through use of the AGW fraud.

Bush was worth an impersonation. No one gives enough of a shit about Obama to bother, probably because imitating his "just-folks" fake-stutter condescension would rub people too raw.
That would require a black guy to satirize 0. That ain't happenin.

It's not healthy to poke fun at socialist dictators.
I doubt that any commedians in Cuba or Venezuela do impersonations of Castro or Chavez.

So.... Bush is responsible for the bad stuff that happened under Obama's watch and Clinton is responsible for the good stuff.
Tell me again why we need Obama?

Is it just me, or does it appear there are some folks around here who would like to have a thread devoted to the Olympics?
I don't want to tell anyone what to do, but perhaps a thread just for them would be nice, and then the rest of us NORMAL people who don't want to talk about the Olympics can have a thread that doesn't get hijacked!
