Obama: Republican candidates' economic stance ‘fantasy’
2016-04-29
[AA.TR] The economic stance of Republican presidential candidates are "fantasy", President Barack Obama
Dreams of My Sainted Father...
said in an interview published Thursday.

"If you look at the platforms, the economic platforms of the current Republican candidates for president, they don’t simply defy logic and any known economic theories, they are fantasy," Obama told The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 Magazine.

"Nobody would even, with the most rudimentary knowledge of economics, think that any of those things are plausible," Obama said as he pointed to some of the claims, including cutting taxes for top wage earners, 5 percent to 7 percent economic growth and balancing the budget.

The U.S. economy has overcome the 2008 financial crisis "better than any large economy on Earth in modern history," according to Obama, who added that there is still room for improvement.

#12  Democrats (well lefties) are also the party of wacky assassins. The way things are going the Republican nomination better double-security.

#11  Democrats have had historic low turnouts in their primaries while Republicans have set records.

Historically peaceful demonstrations lead to higher democrat turnout and violent demonstrations lead to lower turnout.

I'm seeing a wave election and desperation on the part of the left as they see an end to their control coming.

#10  P.S. Trump supporters were bloodied last night. Understand this, when Obama said "Trump will not be President.", it was not an opinion, it was a dictate from Americas first dictator.

#8  Now, now, people. There is no need for all this ranting and raving. All you need to understand is that Baraq is full of shit.

#7  The left has never understood trickle-down economics. Probably because LBJ spent the gains of JFK's tax cuts on Vietnam and Great Society and Reagan spent the gains of his own tax cuts on rebuilding the military. But the gains were there, and could be again.

#6  Fantasy is where the numbers are blungeoned until they meet you pre-conceived targets. See government economic figures, climate change, etc...

#5  Hypocrisy?

That's when people accuse religious people of being stupid and irrational for believing in Bronze-Age sky friends or flying spaghetti monsters - all the while believing themselves in something as completely unreal as a society based on a successful, sustainable collectivist/centrally planned economy.

Sorry Obama. Sorry, all of his fans. People in 1900 could be excused for thinking like that. But in 2016, if you believe in a collectivist economy, you are engaged in the most unlikely and dangerous fantasy of them all.

That stuff doesn't work.

Lesson over.

#3  You must be the dumbest piece of shit that has ever userped the office of the President. You are not worth the shit off of a bums shoe.
There was no logical reason for you to run or think you could Preside over this Nation, but it, like all of life is the same to you. Just a game.

You were more worthless the day you were born than when you went to that worthless madrassa, that worthless Cambridge or worthless Harvard marxist box checking whatever the fuck it is.

No Marxist will ever know anything about economics. Because there is no way to with that horse shit so embedded into your shallow and politically correct mind.

Fantasy is where you have lived and led US, Son.
And now, as the Gates crash around my Holy Land, you will watch as it descends into a third world Country like all the rest of them because marx kicks your nads into your tiny brain.

No matter how many Millions whom have been murdered for you useless "economy"

Your only economy is government because that is your Lord.

You piece of shit from hell serving Leviathan and Saul Alinsky.

Soviet Brak

Go fuck yourself and shut up

#1  Still better than your fantasy about being able to do foreign policy.

And the Republicans sure as fuck can't do any worse than you did.
