Obama's recovery

An email from a contributor who would like to remail annonymus

Planning your vacation to coincide with the "Obama-recovery"?

If you were seriously ill, would you rather have your doctor lie to you...look you in the eye and tell you what great shape you were in? Of course, your doctor wouldn’t do that mainly because it would deny you the chance to seek a cure -- quite possibly cost you your life. Also, both legally and morally he’d be violating his Hippocratic Oath.

Wouldn’t it be nice if only our president had taken a similar Oath? Instead, he has sold out his principles solely to satisfy his political ambitions. I would have never before said this of one of the fourteen presidents in my lifetime but this man doesn’t appear to have any principles. He is a liar. Oh yes, he’s good at what he does -- he's an accomplished liar. He has apparently lied all of his youthful and adult life, gotten away with it, and it appears to have served him well. It is difficult to find even ONE statement he has made to the American public in the past five years that wasn’t fabricated to some degree to suit his personal agenda.

His statements on White House transparency, Obamacare, a balanced budget, line-item veto, same-sex marriage, Race, Fast and Furious, the Benghazi slaughters, his involvement in the IRS felonies, his instructions to AG Holder with regard to the New Black Panther involvement in the election, his eagerness to unilaterally circumvent established law, would alone make Ananias blush! Just this week he focused in on the women’s vote by telling them that they are making only 77¢ an hour -- 23¢ less than men’s $1 -- this while his own government has contradicted his off-hand words with published numbers. They tell us it is only 5¢ and even that is explainable. Yet he ignores the truth and unhesitatingly lies whenever it serves his agenda. It is a shame that so many Americans swallow his words without confirmation.

I'm reminded of Germany from 1938 until 1945 when Hitler set the standard for lying. He did it so well, his army invaded Austria and just days later, on April 10th, 1938, over 97% of Austrians voted in favor of being occupied by Nazi Germany. He told them how good things were going to be under his regime. Of course, he never delivered. Too many Americans of the 21st Century remind me of those gullible Austrians.

You’re familiar with the endless array of “misspeaks” in the recent past. Only the president's toadies and grovelers seem to be immune to his blatant lying. Now the latest is how he’s blowing smoke about our non-existent economic “recovery.” He is painting a false and rosy picture for millions of innocent folks, introducing a "Twilight Zone" to his gullible disciples. Wouldn’t they rather have the opportunity to protect themselves knowing the truth? Following is the factual extent of the president's “recovery.”

• USA Today reports that Quiznos has filed for bankruptcy and could close many of its 2,100 stores. Sbarro, which operates pizza and Italian restaurants in malls, is planning to close 155 locations in the United States and Canada. That means nearly 20 percent of Sbarro's will be closing. The chain operates around 800 outlets.

• Ruby Tuesday announced plans to close 30 restaurants after its sales fell by 7.8 percent. The chain currently operates around 775 steakhouses across the U.S.

• An unknown number of Red Lobster stores will be sold. The chain is in such bad shape that the parent company, Darden Restaurants Inc., had to issue a press release stating that the chain would not close down entirely. Instead, Darden is planning to spin Red Lobster off into another company and sell some of its stores.

• Ralph's Markets, a subsidiary of Kroger, has announced plans to close 15 of its supermarkets in Southern California within 60 days. Safeway closed 72 Dominick's grocery stores in the Chicago area last year.

• Radio Shack is going to close more than a thousand of its stores. Staples is going to close 225 stores. Office Depot has seen same-store sales decline for 13 consecutive quarters. JC Penney lost $586 million dollars in the 2nd Quarter of 2013 alone. Sears has seen their sales numbers decline for nearly 7 straight years. Target is going to eliminate 475 jobs and not fill 700 additional positions that are currently empty. Aeropostale will close about 175.

The list seems endless and this is just in the retail sector. Economic weakness is widespread and growing across the entire spectrum. When will the administration tell it like it really is? Can it be that he is totally unaware of what’s going on? Wouldn’t it be comforting having a president we could trust? One whose specialty was governance, economics and foreign affairs instead of lying?
