Matt Wuerker for January 07, 2015
Transcript:
A group of Tea Partiers hold a banner that reads "Obama Destroying America." One listens to a radio that reports that unemployment has dropped to a six year low, stocks are at record highs, and the price of gas has plummeted. Tea Party: ...just his plan to lull us into a false sense of complacency!

Obama is not responsible for the OPEC (Arab Muslim) nations dropping the price of oil. This makes US fracking and UK North Sea gas uneconomic, by the way. Or is their something we are not being told…?

Interesting. After six years of denying Obama was to blame for the economy, Obamacare and international weakness, the liberal experts are taking credit for three months of good news. I smell karma in the near future: big setbacks followed by more lefty denial.

BTW, Mr. Wuerker, haven’t heard anything from prog cartoonists lately about ‘voter suppression’. Since November 4, 2014 to be exact. Have you lost interest in this vital (fake) issue just because millions of Demo voters stayed home last election? One yearns to see another Matt Wuerker cartoon comparing the GOP to the Nazi Party. Hee hee hee.

The unemployment figures are phony (Clinton changed the way it’s figured to make things ‘look’ better, Bush and Obama like that too), the stock market is up because companies are borrowing 0% interest money to buy their stock back (that makes their stock price go up), and we’re supposed to think things are great. I can’t imagine the GOP doing a better job than the Democrats, they just have a little different bunch of Wall Street banksters to give our tax dollars to. Everybody just keep voting for ‘their crook’ and Congress will keep screwing the middle class.

lets see…. gas prices are low because opec has declared war on american energy supply. Stocks plummeted recently. Oh and unemployment is low because people have given up looking for work…. yeah

The republican party has been infested with conservative special interests. Everybody wants to be president so they can be in charge and push each of their radical ideas on what they want. They were completely dysfunctional the last six years and now they can do it on even a bigger scale. God help us all because the one thing you can count on is the middle class will end up taking in the wallet.

Actually, Obama and Chu promised $8/gal gas.

238 years of debt tripled in 6 years . . .
Kind of easy to have nice economic numbers after spending 10 Trillion to make it that way.

And remember, OBAMA IS COMING TO TAKE YOUR GUNS! And the fact that he has made zero moves to do so only proves that he is going to. ’Cause, you know, Benghazi.

“The economy does well, Bush credits the American people. The economy does well, Obama takes the credit for himself.”Except the Economy tanked under Bush. People rushed to blame others.

“The economy does well, Bush credits the American people. The economy does well, Obama takes the credit for himself.”-Wow. A so-called “conservative” says that the economy is doing well? Highly unusual.-Good expression of hatred of Obama, though.

Hey Mad4U, as the saying goes, you can have your own opinion but you can’t have your own facts. Sorry, saying something doesn’t make it so. Again, three months of Christmas goodies does not make a recovery. Let me put it this way: the media said the recession was over in 2010. Then they said it was over in 2011. Then it was over for sure in 2012. Then it was really over in 2013. The media( including the Washington Post)was still filing stories about the ‘Great Recession’- in the present tense-in 2 0 14.How long do the Obama fanboys plan to blame George W. Bush? The country has moved on from your little idol. Come with us, or sit and pout.

He’s not responsible for anything.He’s not responsible.

Obama doesn’t take credit for most of the good he has done.

You have shown the truth! But no CONservative will choose to see it.
