It’s pretty obvious that Plouffie, like his boss, has never worked a real day in his life.
President Obama’s senior political adviser David Plouffe said Wednesday that people won’t vote in 2012 based on the unemployment rate.
Plouffe should probably hope that’s the case, since dismal job figures aren’t expected to get any better for Obama and the economy on Friday.
Most economists expect a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to show that the nation added about 100,000 jobs in June. That’s not enough to keep up with population growth, let alone lower the unemployment rate or make a dent in the 9 million jobs lost during the so called Great Recession.
It’s looking more and more like Obama will have to do something no president has done since Franklin Roosevelt: Win reelection with unemployment around 8 percent.
You see, Americans don’t care if they’re employed. And they certainly don’t care if their neighbor is unemployed either! Obama is counting on your selfishness. He needs you to care only about yourself.
“The average American does not view the economy through the prism of GDP or unemployment rates or even monthly jobs numbers,” Plouffe said, according to Bloomberg. “People won’t vote based on the unemployment rate, they’re going to vote based on: ‘How do I feel about my own situation? Do I believe the president makes decisions based on me and my family?’ ”
This is a telling statement. It says that Plouffie and Obama are counting heavily on American selfishness. They are counting on you caring about only yourself and not caring about your neighbors or your country. This really is not different from past democrat campaigns which pander to base interests but this time Plouffe says it out loud.
Hello, Davie? Earth calling!
Though I’m past one hundred thousand miles, I’m feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead, there’s something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you…
Here am I sitting in my tin can far above the Moon
America is blue and there’s nothing I can do

Except for liberals being foolish.
Another spread the misery pencil-necked *** that has never held a working job, high school to college(dropped out) to politics… noted in Wikipedia that half the campaigns he worked were failures. Looks like even the ones that did win were failures too.
It’s infallible: The opinions of all Progressives, aka, Democrats, aka, Liberals, aka, Socialists are always based ENTIRELY (1) on their wishful thinking, (2) on misinformation born out of their ignorance, (3) on intentional, outright lies, deliberate exaggerations and deliberate distrortions of the facts …, and, of course, (4) on their contrived, screwy rationales which reinforce their screwy delusions, imho. It is their depravity, not their politics, that defines Democrats, imho.
@Brian:
Thanks so much for that list, Brian.
Now I better understand why Obama said one of the things he said this morning:
Quote #4 here.
Obama doesn’t NEED any cash.
Everything he does is at the taxpayer’s expense.
(Even Michelle’s 1,556 calorie lunch of ShackBurger, fries, chocolate shake today!)
But do the Obama’s give it ALL to charity?
No.
Do the Obama’s give it ALL to the government to help pay down the debt?
No.
So, who is Obama to be the arbiter of what I, you, or anybody else, NEEDs from his own income?
Whether it’s out of complete and utter incompetence, or out of deliberate marxist/leftist malice, the Obama regime is rapidly dragging “the shining city” down off the hill, and turning off the “unnecessary” lights, and trying to paint the whole town Olive drab Green.
Worst. President. Ever.
Period.
Restore the Constitution
Hell if the only people that he encounters are
food stampmy credit card recipients, section 8 housing recipients, and free gov. stuff, of-course his head is up his a**.@Buffalobob:
It’s the new Obama diet fad.
