Obama’s Willful Disregard Of The Facts Or Poor Command Of Economics

Manufacturing employment did hit a peak and then begin a steady decline. The problem is that the peak was in 1979, 15 years before NAFTA came into force.

The long-term decline of American manufacturing jobs has much more to do with technological change than with trade. We’re producing more stuff with fewer workers.

But is there any harm if someone decides to run the same old Washington textbook campaign, take a few shortcuts of reasoning, and hold NAFTA responsible for the pain of displaced workers? There is. It offers false hope. It leads beleaguered citizens to think that a U.S. withdrawal from NAFTA would make their lives better, when it would almost certainly make their lives worse.

Much has been made of Obama’s troubles with answering economics questions during the last debate. I think his “problems’ are perfectly understandable, if your mindset is one of Marxist orientation you do have trouble answering questions about Capital Gains and Payroll taxes.

Just remember the next time we have a economic meltdown, Obama’s background is Community Organizer. Next time we are attacked, just remember Obama’s background is Community Organizer.

Obama’s comments about bitter rural folks clutching their guns on the way to church is not surprising, what is surprising is how a politician would believe they could pander to one crowd half a country away and not expect it to reverberate back to those rural churching going gun clutching folks.

Politicians know how to speak to a crowd, Hillary puts on a southern drawl and Oprah does her Black Southern Preacher thing when introducing Obama. But how can a politician expect to lead the country if he or she delivers speeches that are divisive?

The shine is off Obama, his halo has been turned off and I gotta believe the democrats are wondering how the heck they got in this mess again.

Time for the adults to step in.

Obama also needs to check who he is running against, last time I check GW was not running, to me the first sign a candidate is having message trouble is when they run against imaginary enemies.
