Obama: America “Not Better Off” Today Than Four Years Ago…

All hail Captain Obvious!

(ABC News) — Calling himself an “underdog,” President Obama today said the faltering economy is a drag on his presidency and seriously impairing his chances at winning again in 2012.

“Absolutely,” he said to a question by ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos about whether the odds were against him come November 2012, given the economy. “I’m used to being the underdog. But at the end of the day people are going to ask — who’s got a vision?

The American people, he conceded, are “not better off” than they were four years ago.

“The unemployment rate is way too high,” he said of the 9 percent jobless rate, the highest in half a century.

Obama said his American Jobs Act will put construction workers, teachers and veterans to work and give “more consumers more confidence.”

    Just remember BO, we WILL NOT be any better after another 4 years of your regime! Don’t act like you can turn this around. Your policies are killing this country. I pray that you’re gone in 2012..

    redefines vision

    He’s calling himself an “underdog”. I’m calling him a well educated dumb-ass!

    Has his “jobs bill” even been introduced yet?

    so that’s the strategy now?

    Mee-chelle Antoinette says reelect Barry because he grew up poor, yea right, his grandma was a vp at a bank, he went to a private school.

    and now this, “poor me, I’m the underdog, I’m the poor poor me, the mean ol’ american people are blaming me, its not my fault!”

    Definition of Insanity: Try something and if it doesn’t work, try the same thing again.

    Sound familiar?

    He’s got that exactly backwards…it’s not the faltering economy dragging on his presidency, it’s his faltering presidency dragging on the economy.

    Well, that’s practically admitting defeat by a Presidential candidate.

    This is no good at all. If he should decide not to run, or even be challenged by Hillary, the election will not be the “lock” it appears it is going to be.

    Stay in and lose, Barry.

    Hey, obowmao – I have a vision! It is of you sitting in an orange prison jumpsuit behind bars.

    How did he get this top secret information, certainly not from Television or a newspaper or magazine?

  16. WilECoyote says:

    I resent that he casually throw in the term “veteran” in promoting his so called jobs bill. There is nothing in the bill that creates jobs or reward job creators. This is another payoff for his union thugs and cronies.
    How about abolishing Dept of Energy, Education, HHS and Labor?????

    Clueless in washington…”This President is completely clueless as to what’s going on around him. That’s a dangerous situation for this country”.

    Sounds like he’s already thinking of crap to say when he goes on Oprah after he loses the election.

    “Look Oprah, I was handed an economy that was in the toilet, not my fault”

    But instead of clogging the drain Mr Obama, you took a plunger to it and down we went.

  21. Noelegy says:

    Barry’s an “underdog” in the sense of the cringing, belly-up dog showing submission to the alpha dog. That’s it.

    ____________
    Yes. That is exactly his strategy now. Play the surrender card to gain the sympathy card. He understands their pain too, don’t ya know.

    “Who’s got a vision?”

    Was he asking for his reading glasses, or what?
