The unemployment numbers were released today and unemployment has risen to 9.2%. When asked if this would affect the 2012 election, White House buffoon David Plouffe said the following:
“The average American does not view the economy through the prism of GDP or unemployment rates or even monthly jobs numbers,” Plouffe said, according to Bloomberg. “People won’t vote based on the unemployment rate, they’re going to vote based on: ‘How do I feel about my own situation? Do I believe the president makes decisions based on me and my family?’ ”
Really? Now understandably he is thinking about the type of people who voted for Obama and who were part of Organizing For America but the rest of the country actually cares about the economy because it directly affects them. Let’s see… what has changed that ‘American morons’ wouldn’t notice:
- Gas prices have risen
- Food prices have risen
- Unemployment has risen
- Food stamp use has risen
- Welfare rolls have increased
- Deficit has increased
- College tuition has increased
- Foreclosures have increased
- War spending has increased
- The value of the dollar has decreased
- The value of homes has decreased
- Union thuggery has increased
- States on the verge of bankruptcy have increased
- Regulations on businesses have increased
- Healthcare costs have increased
- Obama’s number of golf games has increased
- Michelle Obama’s vacations around the world have increased
So please rethink your assertion about Americans being morons Plouffe because it appears that the White House happens to contain the majority of morons in this country. Your 2008 Obots never did get their unicorns. You can be assured that they aren’t going to haul their asses to the voting booth to vote for another 4 years of Ofailure.
