Obama: The “Toughest Three Years This Country Has Gone Through” Over Last 50 Years Just Happen To Be The Same Three Years I’ve Been President…

Coincidence? — I think not.

(CNS News) — President Barack Obama told a group of contributors at a campaign fundraiser in Florida on Thursday that his term so far has been “three of the toughest years this country has gone through in my lifetime.”

“We’ve gone through three of the toughest years this country has gone through in my lifetime,” Obama said, according to the White House transcript of his remarks.

“And there are a lot of people who are still hurting all across the country–a lot of people here in Florida, a lot of people everywhere,” said Obama. “There are still folks whose homes are underwater because the housing market collapsed.  There are people who are still struggling because they can’t find a job. There are folks who are just barely able to make ends meet.  And obviously those of us who are here, we’ve been incredibly blessed. But one of the great things about America and one of the great things about those who are in professional sports is we’ve all got cousins, uncles, family members who are still struggling and are a reminder that we have a lot more work to do.”

    I count 17 clubs in that bag—you are limited by the U.S.G.A and the Royal and Ancient golf organizations to have only 14. Oh, that’s right, you make the rules as you go along—kinda like the Demonrats. If you ever make a hole in one it will not be bona fide.

    NY Democrat Rep. Kathy Hochul Admits at Raucous Town Hall: “Basically, We’re Not Looking to the Constitution” when it Comes to ObamaCare Mandates – Raw Video 2/24/12

    Oh my. Rarely do you get a Democrat to lift the veil enough to say exactly what they are all about. This is one of those moments.

    Here is raw video of New York Democrat Rep. Kathy Hochul (NY CD-26) being asked at a Town Hall Meeting yesterday (by Freedom’s Lighthouse reader “Brad!”) where the Constitution allows the Federal Government to require a “private or religious organization to pay for anything for free?”
    http://freedomslighthouse.net/2012/02/25….aw-video-22412/
    Incredibly, Hochul’s answer? “Well, basically, we’re not looking to the Constitution on that aspect of it.”

    The crowd went wild, clearly shocked that this Democrat would just come out and say what we already know about Obama and those who support him – They don’t care what the U.S. Constitution says. If it gets in the way of their agenda, it is to be ignored.

    Great job by our friend, Brad, who asked precisely the right question, and followed up on her shocking answer by saying:

    “We are also entitled to the freedoms under the First Amendment of the Constitution. That comes before any of the other “freedoms.” So, we have to look at the Constitution.”

    Jim beat me to it: How in the hell does Obozo get away with claiming the last three years were the toughest this country has EVER faced???

    So the Civil War was no big deal? British troops burning the White House in the War of 1812? WWII? The burning of several U.S. inner cities by ghetto dwellers around 1967?

    Of course if he meant “The U.S. is closer to national death than at any time in our history, due to my policies and those of my Democratic party,” then I agree. But I’m pretty sure the Chicago Jesus isn’t that candid.

    Wonder how many WWII combat vets will vote for Obozo?

    Toughest 3 years in our history – domestically in particular — just happen have occured with Ozymandias-on-the-Potomac in charge, radically pulling the levers of power and jerking our economy every which way but up.

    That would be a delicious commercial to watch.

    Buffett Releases Annual Letter To Shareholders, Will Avoid Derivatives Going Foward, Continues Bashing Gold

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/buffett-releases-annual-letter-shareholders-will-avoid-derivatives-going-foward-continues-bashi

    “While mostly a regurgitation of old, very trite, and quite meandering thoughts, there are some tidbits of information in the latest just released 2011 Berkshire Letter to shareholders…..”

    “….that he once again sees a housing bottom (he adds: “Last year, I told you that “a housing recovery will probably begin within a year or so.” I was dead wrong”

    - this admission is far more than we will ever hear from James Cramer who has been calling a housing bottom since 2009),

    and “Housing will come back – you can be sure of that”

    - sure, just not in your lifetime, and probably not in ours either,

    but most importantly, is the discovery not that BRK’s profit declined by 30% (to $3.08 billion from $4.38 billion) on a smaller gain on derivatives,

    but that since he actually will have to post collateral on new derivatives, “we will not be initiating any major derivatives positions.”

  45. Rannie says:

    This asshole is the most self-absorbed person I’ve ever seen and completely void of American history. America lost 58,000 soldiers in the vietnam war that didn’t offically end until 1975.

    Oh wait…Obama was living in that hell hole Hawaii during the biggest troop deployment to Vietnam.

    Of course the 1973 oil crisis was a real fun time for Americans also. OPEC, plus Egypt, Syria and Tunisia proclaimed an oil embargo. The 1973 “oil price shock”, along with the 1973–1974 stock market crash, have been regarded as the first event since the Great Depression to have a persistent economic effect.

    Odd-even rationing was implemented; drivers of vehicles with license plates having an odd number as the last digit (or a vanity license plate) were allowed to purchase gasoline for their cars only on odd-numbered days of the month, while drivers of vehicles with even-numbered license plates were allowed to purchase fuel only on even-numbered days.

    In some U.S. states, a three-color flag system was used to denote gasoline availability at service stations — a green flag denoted unrationed sale of gasoline, a yellow flag denoted restricted and rationed sales, and a red flag denoted that no gasoline was available but the service station was open for other services

    The rationing led to incidents of violence, after truck drivers nationwide chose to strike for two days in December 1973 because they objected to the supplies rationed for their industry. In Pennsylvania and Ohio, non-striking truckers were shot at by striking truckers, and in Arkansas, trucks of non-strikers were attacked with bombs.

If AF1 costs something in the range of $150,000 an hour to operate and our Nation is 16 trillion in debt, we have no budget, and this President and his wife believe it okay to play countless games of golf and go on extravagant vacations totaling millions of dollars in collateral support then they are living in a vacuum. The average American, member of the 51% that pay for it all have lost their benefits, lost their equity in their homes, lost their pay value, lost their jobs while footing the bill for all of this. Groceries have escalated, gas prices are soaring, banks aren’t lending and we remain to have division, and social unrest throughout our Nation…anyone want four more to screw the lid down on you even further?
