It’s been a blah week for me and I haven’t really felt like doing too much blogging. I’m behind on emails. My sister called and asked why I didn’t respond to one of her emails. As a result, I haven’t really been paying too much attention to assholiness. I still have one however. I haven’t made fun of Jay Bookman in a while. Bookman is an ultra-liberal on the editorial staff of the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation. He also sports a big boner for Oboner. He wrote this op-ed about the GOP “fantasy” versus his “reality” about Obungler. In it he channels his inner Paul Krugman. Some examples.

The unemployment rate is now down to 5 percent, and an economy that was losing 800,000 jobs a month on the day of Barack Obama’s first inauguration has added more than 10 million private-sector jobs since that day.

Yet somehow, the job participation rate is the worst it has been in forty years. And that 5% unemployment rate that the libs like to throw around? That number does not count the people who have given up looking for work or part time workers who want full time jobs. The real unemployment rate is in the double digits. And what kind of jobs have been created? Low paying jobs. And I’m not even sure about that ten million number. It’s prolly as bogus as the 5% number. We have been in a jobs recession for the last seven years. Remember, under Bush the unemployment rate was 4%.

The stock market, which seven years ago had lost 50 percent of its value in the greatest financial collapse in more than 80 years, is now 30 percent above its pre-recession peak. The Dow Jones Industrial average has more than doubled, and corporate after-tax profits continue near all-time records.

And why is this? Because the Federal Reserve has been printing money to prop up the rotten Obummer economy. SRFs like me have been doing well but most of the shrinking middle class hasn’t.

According to numbers released today by Gallup, the percentage of American adults under 65 without health insurance has dropped to 11 percent, down significantly from its pre-ObamaCare peak. That number would be lower still if states such as Georgia (18 percent uninsured) had not stubbornly refused to expand Medicaid, denying help to hundreds of thousands of our fellow Georgians. The uninsured rates have dropped especially fast for black and Hispanic Americans, many of whom had never had access to health insurance and had no real hope of ever doing so.

Jay has been harping about that Medicaid expansion ever since Georgia refused to participate in that bait and switch scam. As many states who fell for that have found out, it’s costing a lot more than the gummint said it would (Here is my shocked face.) and it is impacting state budgets really hard. The number of uninsured has dropped from 18% to 11%. Big deal! He doesn’t say how much it has cost to get that number down by seven percentage points or all of the broken promises. If you like your doctor you can keep him. Lie! If you like your health insurance you can keep it. Lie! Premiums would decline by $2500. Lie! Instead they have risen dramatically, in some cases as much as $4000. Deductibles are now sky high as well. Many people are now saying their insurance is worthless. Obummercare has made things worse. Almost all of the exchanges have failed or in the process of failing. United Health Group, the largest health insurance company in America is pulling out of Obummercare. If this is success, I would hate to see what Jay thinks is a failure.

The list goes on:

The bullshit goes on.

The nation’s gross domestic product has risen by 29 percent since 2009,

WTF? That’s 4% a year. Did he get those figures from Paul Krugman? It has not risen by 4% in a single year. I don’t think it has even hit 3%. It’s been around 2.5% a year. As Mittens Romneycare said to Obongo, “You can’t make up your own facts.” That hasn’t stopped Jay.

and the federal deficit as a share of GDP is projected to drop to 3.3 percent this year, at or below the modern average and well below the range during the Reagan era, just to pick a time frame.

When you consider Oblunder started with deficits of over $1 trillion it had to go down. Unfortunately, this year will be the lowest deficit and it will start going back up next year. Obambi will have doubled the debt by the time he leaves office. It was around $10 trillion when he entered office. It will be over $20 trillion when he leaves. That is more than all of the previous presidents combined. And what lowered the deficit? The sequester which was a result of Republicans showing some spine and calling Obooger’s bluff on it. And as for Reagan, his deficits started the longest post war boom this country has ever seen. It also resulted in the end of the Cold War, which we won. Those deficits were worth it. What have Obarky’s deficits given us? Slow growth and a jobs recession. We’re fixing to enter a real recession any day now. Growth is slowing and was prolly negative again in the first quarter. About now, the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party will be writing more bullshit about a recovery summer, that in seven years still hasn’t happened.

Gasoline is selling at $2 a gallon,

Which has happened despite Oblunder rather than because of him. If he could he would stop fracking. He’s limited offshore drilling and drilling on public lands. This is all because of the ingenuity of those eeee-vil oil companies.

inflation is almost non-existent,

Because of the Fed’s policies, deflation is what we need to worry about.

the dollar is strong

Low oil prices which Obeauzeau had nothing to do with.

and because of the availability of jobs, tens of thousands of previously discouraged Americans are rejoining the workforce every month.

Yet somehow, the job participation is at a forty year low. How can that be?

All of these things were never supposed to happen, but they have happened. We’ve even uncovered Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate!¹

Good snark Jay. Counter snark. It is a fake. Ask anyone who knows anything about PDF files. Plus, there were errors on the fake BC. And, in a biographical sketch on one of his books it states that he was born in Kenya. One of his grandmothers said he was born in Kenya. Did he attend Occidental College as a foreign student? Who knows? He won’t release those records. Wonder why?

Given all that, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Gallup also reports that a majority of Americans now approve of President Obama’s job performance, a rating well above the presidential average and also above that of President Reagan at this point in his second term. Given that the hardcore GOP base comprises roughly a third of the electorate, that’s pretty impressive.

It is. How can that be? Are Americans really that stupid to think that the worst president in American history is doing a real good job. Shows just how impressive the propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party is.

Think about what more might have been accomplished with an opposition party that was capable of compromise in the national interest, that had priorities other than ensuring that this president was an absolute and utter failure.

Just think how much better off we would be if we had a competent president who was willing to compromise with the opposition party and was not bound and determined to turn this country into a Third World shithole. Fixed it for you Jay.

For writing such twaddle as that, Jay earns the AOTW Award.
