Last week wasn’t the best week for Obama … at least as somewhere around on-half of Americans are concerned.  For the half that is dependent on government entitlement checks every month, last week was just fine.  Their checks same and there’s no reason to believe that their checks won’t keep coming in the future … so all is well between them and their plantation master, Barry Barack Hussein Soetero Obama. 

Last week we saw unemployment numbers go up and jobs creation numbers go down.  That’s five straight months of decline in the numbers of new jobs created under the ObamaEconomy.  What’s 5.7%?  That’s what our unemployment rate SHOULD be, according to Barack Obama’s crack team of economic experts, who convinced us that we just had to pass the stimulus bill or suffer the consequences.  So we passed the durn stimulus bill and $800+ billion later … we are more broke than when we started AND we have an unemployment rate of 8.2%.  That’s quite a stark difference: The promised 5.7% from Obama’s propaganda team and the 8.2% reality of Obama’s policies.

 Unable to comprehend why their Keynesian economic policies failed to kick start our economy, team Obama and the Democrats have taken to the blame game.  As the stock market was in the process of losing virtually all gains realized since the first of the year … Dear Ruler felt that he had to say something.  So once again the teleprompters were called up, and Obama strode forth to make sure that everyone knew that none of this was his fault, and that all we need is to give him some more time to work his magic.

Obama spread the blame Friday.  Bush, of course, still takes the bulk of the blame.  But this time, as he has before, Obama blamed Europe.  If it wasn’t for all of those problems in Europe all would be just hunky dory here in the USA.

 It’s all Europe’s fault! 

 No, seriously.  This was the Obama line about the latest unemployment figures flop. Obama’s deputy propagandist says, "We're digging out of a very deep hole," (blame Bush!)  "We're also seeing continued instability in the Eurozone."  Those flippin’ Grecians!  If it weren’t for them, America would be booming right about now.  It was those Europeans over in Germany who made us pass a $800+ stimulus bill, paid for with borrowed money from China.  It was those pesky French who forced us to pass ObamaCare, essentially abdicating 16% of our economy to the government.  Those galling Greeks were the ones shoved Dodd-Frank down our throats.  It’s all Europe’s fault!

 Thankfully this time Obama didn’t blame ATMs.   The ATM lobby must have made a huge campaign donation along the way.

Europe’s fault.  Bush’s fault.  Righhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht.

• Which one was it, Bush or Europe, that forced Obama to push for a national health care plan that would scare the undies right off of every small business man (and most of the large ones) in America on whom we rely for new jobs?
• Was it Bush or Europe that cranked up the regulatory machinery in the US to the tune of $38 billion in additional regulatory compliance costs for American business … every year?
• Europe or Bush … just which one of these made it clear to the American businessman that the rule of law would no longer control in business relationships when the government was involved … that the president could set that law aside in to benefit favored political interests?
• Who do we hold responsible, Europe or Bush, for a new activist EPA that has investors and entrepreneurs sitting on the sidelines waiting for possible relief from onerous regulations from a new administration?
• Europe or Bush – which one tried to make the unionization of American businesses as close to automatic as possible?  And which of those two have now sprung ambush union elections on American business?
• I’m still confused – was it Europe or Bush that flat-out said they were going to bankrupt the American coal industry, and that American’s electricity prices were “necessarily” going to have to rise a great deal.
• Now let’s see … it was free enterprise, capitalism, if you will … that created the highest standard of living enjoyed anywhere in the world right here in America.  So just who was it, Bush or Europe, that referred to free enterprise .. the free markets .. as “the enemy.”  If you’re part of “the enemy” wouldn’t it make sense to lay low for a while to see if the person who sees you as such might go away? 
• Was it Europe or Bush who promoted and passed a stimulus plan that cost,depending on who you listen to, anywhere from $540,000 to $4.1 million for each job created!  Which European thought THAT mess up?  Or was it Bush?
• What about all of these calls to raise taxes on the very people we depend on for private sector job creation?  Don’t you imagine that many of these people are holding back on their plans to begin a new business until they learn whether or not our tax structure will allow them to keep enough of the money they earn to make that effort worthwhile?  Who is responsible for this outrage?  Bush or Europe?
