Misery Index Doesn't Apply to Barack Obama

Misery Index Doesn't Apply to Barack Obama

It’s fully expected when Rep. Michelle Bachmann criticizes President Barack Hussein Obama but much less anticipated when representatives of two of his prime constituencies, blacks and hispanics, rip into their hero.

Bachmann cited Obama’s miserable record on economic growth and job creation and its impact on blacks and hispanics–16% black unemployment, 12% hispanic, and 40% and 26% among black and hispanic youths, respectively–as bases for concluding, “This president has failed the Hispanic community. He has failed the African-American community. He has failed us all when it comes to jobs.” (http://bit.ly/iua4Qg)

She could easily have listed any number of additional failures on his resume but focused on jobs in her Friday speech to the Republican Leadership Conference.

Instead of demonstrating leadership and vision on employment and the myriad other crises facing the nation, the Obama administration prefers to entertain Americans with an odd brand of humor. This oddity was seen in the president cracking jokes last week about the failure of his trillion-dollar stimulus boondoggle to stimulate shovels and Press Secretary Jay Carney’s riotous yuk on Monday about paying off our multi-trillion budget deficit with the $2 he won from his new golfing buddy, Speaker John Boehner.

Unfortunately, lame jokes don’t go very far for the country or the president, especially when members of his fan club aren’t amused.

Little seems to amuse the Rev. Louis Farrakhan who expressed his displeasure with his “brother” Obama’s treatment of his friend, Libyan dictator, Moammar Qaddafi in March. Calypso Louie then totally dissed his bro, the President of the United States, with the rhetorical question, “Who the hell do you think you are?”

Farrakhan is newly incensed over Obama’s kinetic action in Libya as seen in a May video now all the rage on YouTube: ”We voted for our brother Barack, a beautiful human being with a sweet heart, and now he’s an assassin. They turned him into them.” The antecedent of “them” is unclear although the founder of the black racist Nation of Islam was vividly clear in his denunciation of the “murderer in the White House,” again because of Obama’s actions against Moammar whom Louie considers a decent man.
