The Dear Leader doesn't live in reality. He actually thinks his economic record is awesome and has turned the country around. Just ignore the numbers that say the opposite, and you too can be Barack Hussein Obama.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you, everybody. Please have a seat, have a seat.
It is wonderful to see all of you. I've got a lot of friends in the room here. People who knew me before anybody could pronounce my name. (Laughter.) People who knew me before I had gray hair. (Laughter.) It is wonderful to see those of you who've been friends for a long time, and it's wonderful to see new friends here as well.
Same worn out lines from 2007. (Laughter). Here's comes a typical Obama speech filled with "I," "Me," and "My."
What I'd like to do is to make some very brief remarks at the top and then have a chance to take a few questions, because that will give us a chance to have a dialogue, and you might have some suggestion that we haven't thought of. And it's one of the great things about these kinds of events is people here have so much expertise in so many different areas that it's a wonderful thing for me to be able to pick your brain as well as just you guys hearing me chatter.
Democrats in the crowd: Let's spend more than we take in and then tell people we need to raise their taxes to keep on spending. (Laughter)
We are obviously going through one of the toughest periods in American history. We went through the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, and immediately after being elected, I had to take a series of very difficult steps to rescue ourselves from the brink. We had lost 4 million jobs in the six months before I was sworn in; lost another 4 million during the period probably six months after I was elected. And so as a consequence, we had to do some things that we didn't expect we would have to do, just to save the economy -- stabilize the financial system, make sure that states and local governments didn't have to lay off police officers and cops and firefighters. We had to save an auto industry. I never expected to be a automobile executive. (Laughter.)
What Obama left out is the numbers that are happening under his economic policies are at Depression-era level. The numbers are worse and the Misery Index proves this...along with economic numbers, unemployment numbers, housing numbers and food stamp usage numbers. All at record or Depression-era levels under the O man.
As a consequence of that swift, decisive, and sometimes difficult period, we were able to take an economy that was shrinking by about 6 percent and create an economy that is now growing, and has grown steadily now over many consecutive quarters. Over the last 15 months we've created over 2.1 million private sector jobs. (Laughter.) We have an auto industry that, for the first time in a very long time is profitable, and the Big Three automakers actually gaining market share, and not only gaining market share, but also gaining market share in the cars of the future so that they're actually competing in compact cars and sub-compact cars and electric cars and hybrids.
Just ignore the Bureau of Labor Statistics that shows we have a job deficit, not a 2.1 million surplus. How does one create jobs only to see the unemployment jump almost 3 percentage points?
Obama also left out that the taxpayers, who bailed out GM and Chrysler, will lose over $14 billion or how the Chevy Volt is a dud.
And so I'mextraordinarily proud of the economic record that we were able to produce over the first two and a half years, but having said all that, the economy is still so tough for so many people around the country. The hole that was dug was so deep. And most importantly, the reasons that I decided to run for President in the first place still had not been fully addressed, because the fact is, is that even before this financial crisis, wages and incomes had flat-lined for most Americans. Those at the very top had seen themselves do very well, but the bottom 95 percent, the bottom 90 percent, they were treading water at a time when their cost of health care and cost of college education, cost of groceries, cost of gasoline all were going up. And that was before the crisis hit. And now they've got to worry about homes that have lost value and businesses that are just barely getting by.
Just wait til you run on the economic record in 2012 (Laughter). The hole was deep and Obama took it to historic levels. The cost of everything Obama mentioned has went up even higher. As anyone with half a brain cell knows, the numbers are worse under Obama.
And so although we've made a turn in a positive direction, the underlying structural challenges that we face remain. And so the reason that 2012 is important is because I did not just run for President to get us back to where we were; I ran for President originally to move us to where we need to be.
Obama can't name one area that is positive and continues to show he is disconnected from reality. The overwhelming majority knows things are worse under Obama. Go back to golfing Mr. President (Laughter).
