After trying to stomach part of Obama's recent campaign speech trying to take credit for this booming economy, jobs returning to the US and new trade deals being worked I had to wonder what happened to the Obama who wondered how this was all going to happen.

He was clueless then on how to make the economy strong and now he wants credit. If it was up to Obama, we'd raise taxes and go back to the old 1% growth.

I watched his recent speech. What the heck happened? Did his speech writer die? He used to be good at that.

When I first heard of him, I was cautiously optimistic because people said he was well versed in constitutional law. I started becoming suspicious during the election though when I just could not find out anything substantive about the guy. I can’t even remember now who I voted for but I didn’t vote for him.

Now, having seen first hand what he is like, I’m so glad I didn’t waste my vote on him. He is the perfect example of Ambrose Bierce’s definition of a lawyer.

“Lawyer, n. One skilled in circumvention of the law.”

What an absolute disaster he was.

The economy is stronger with less government reaching into the peoples pocket, to redistribute the wealth to unproductive people with way less value in society. Along with less pressure of that boot on your throat, of regulations and red tape keeping ordinary people from the upward mobility of self employment.

Notice how some folks never think to cut spending, but are just fine with robbing their neighbor so they dont have to go without some state run scheme?

Obama has always envisioned himself as Mohammad 2.0.
