Obama: “Nevermind my campaign promises, I don’t know what I am doing.”
The White House is officially “dampening” the stimulus expectations. Despite campaigning on the promise of change, and millions of new jobs, and free gas, and no more war, and an end to all foreclosures, etc etc….. , Obama is now taking it all back and saying he basically has no @#$%ing clue what is going on or how to fix it. Which is probably exactly what we should expect from someone with 2 years of actual work experience and a Cabinet of tree-hugging, Prius-driving, ivory-tower liberal goons.
But helping all the lazy peoples of this country feels good, and that is what matters, right? I mean, isn’t the government’s job to just, like, help people and stuff?
However, the realities of Economics never stopped Obama from making a bunch of crazy promises. As it turns out, all of his campaign promises were all a load of crap. Granted, those of us in this country with, you know, jobs and intelligence and logic and stuff, already had this figured out. But for all the white-guilt crowd, the lazy-unemployed crowd, the “green”-crowd, and the others - Whoops! Looks like your Messiah can’t fix all your problems after all! Whooda thunk it?!
WASHINGTON (Reuters)- President Barack Obama’s aides warned Americans on Sunday not to expect instant miracles from the $787 billion economic stimulus bill he will sign this week, but said it would help eventually.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs used similar language on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
“I don’t think there’s any doubt that we’ve seen this economy has gotten worse just in the last few months. The acceleration in job loss probably means that this economy is going to get worse before it gets better,” he said.
Obama himself said last week that if he failed to heal the economy, he would be out of a job by 2012, when he faces re-election.
At least you got that last part right, Obama!
