Obama lies about unemployment. | Eastern NC Now

Tries to blame "sequester" when his policies have caused millions to sit home and not look for a job.

    Once again, we have been treated to yet another example that says that either Barack Obama is the worse liar to ever serve as president, or the most ignorant in terms of economics we have ever had. Either way we are in serious trouble for two reasons: The Elite Media carrys his water to allow him to pull it off with the Low Information voters and Congress is so impotent that it does nothing about it.

    Last week, while the Elite Media's attention was focused on North Korea--or perhaps more accurately stated: While the Elite Media was trying to keep Americans' attention focused on North Korea the U. S. Labor Department released its monthly unemployment statistics that was a bombshell worse in many ways than if the lunatic Kim Jong-un had pushed his nuke button.

    The jobs numbers show that the U. S. economy is in about as bad shape as it can get. You can get all the details in this article Wall Street Journal.

    The Elite Media tried to spin the numbers to show that "88,000 new jobs" were added but that is so deceptive as to be considered a lie by us. Here's the Truth. Ninety million Americans are out of work, have been out of work for many months and had dropped out of the labor force and are no longer even looking for work. Fifty million of them have gone on government supported disability. Even the ultra-left Obama cheerleader, the this article LA Times concluded, after it knew the Low Information voters had stopped reading this report, that the numbers show that the economy is not only is bad shape, but that it is not getting better, contrary to the lies Barack Obama is telling, trying to blame it on the "sequester."

    For the record, that is an obvious lie. The numbers measured unemployment BEFORE the sequester kicked in.

    If you skipped over the WSJ link above and did not read it, allow us to summarize it: The reason the economy is in the tank is because so many people are not working. But the chief reason they are not working is that it is easier for them to go on the public dole than it is to get and keep a job. Millions have calculated that they "make more" money by not working than they would if they took a job.

    So yea, Obama is technically correct. It is the fault of the "sequester." But not the one he's talking about. Because of his policies millions of Americans have sequestered themselves from working.

    Now you tell us: Whose fault is that?
