Rpt: Jobless Claims Rise in June to 627,000; Obama Holds Luau

I’m not saying the President doesn’t deserve some recreation, but the standard I hold him to is, “What if Bush had done this?”

Similar to President Obama, President Bush took office with a recession leftover from his predecessor (though not as deep a recession). Six months into that recession, President Bush’s tax cuts had almost ended it. Six months into President Obama’s recession, his economic policies have statistically made things worse, and his efforts show absolutely ZERO hint of making things better (per uber-capitalists like Warren Buffet).

In light of all that, I think President Obama’s Luau was not a very tasteful event. His troops are at war. In Iraq-just days before leaving the cities-the enemy is on an offensive. In Afghanistan, the surge of troops has not abated the Taliban offensive. In Pakistan, air strikes against Al Queda are threatening to topple our ally. Tens of millions of Americans are out of work, have BEEN out of work for months, and more are losing their homes (the last I saw only 1 home had been “saved” by his home retention program).

So, what’s a President to do? He could distract with something like a debate on torture that focuses attention on his predecessor-nah, tried that, and it backfired. He cold straight up blame his predecessor-nah, polls show people ain’t buyin’ that anymore. He could topic shift with pipedreams of freebies like free healthcare for everyone-nah, tried that and no one even watched. He could….

HAVE A PARTY!!!
