Rahm Emanuel: "We Rescued the Economy"

There is a serious disconnect between the White House and REALITY.

Members of the Obama administration seem to be residing on their own private Neverland Ranch.

Rahm Emanuel made a stunningly out of touch statement, reported in the New York Times today:

Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, said in an interview that the president intended to use the news conference as a “six-month report card,” to talk about “how we rescued the economy from the worst recession” and the legislative agenda moving forward, including health care and energy legislation, which squeaked through the House and faces a tough road in the Senate.

What?

WHAT?

"How we rescued the economy from the worst recession"?

If Obama intends to use his news conference tonight as a "six-month report card," and he's honest, the grades will not be good.

If this report card uses a pass/fail system, Obama will flunk royally.

But as Rahm reveals, Obama intends to lie.

If Obama has the audacity to say that his administration has rescued the economy, then the guy is more arrogant and dishonest than I thought possible.

Obama's economic stimulus package, that disastrous piece of emergency non-stimulating legislation, was a miserable failure.

Unemployment is climbing to unpredicted, exceedingly painful heights. Obama's $1,000,000,000,000 - $2,000,000,000,000 deficit is burgeoning beyond belief, making history.

He didn't inherit that. He owns it.

But this is Emanuel's idea of an economic "rescue"? Really?

God help us.

Rahm know that his lapdog press will repeat whatever he says and the uniformed citizenry can be easily fooled into believing this nonsense. It is what Amerika has come to.

Why not just save us the time and use the DELAYED economic report and the DELAYED Guantanamo report as his "report card." Last I checked those were two pretty big issues. They should give us a good idea about how our buddy in the oval office is doin.

Whadda ya say B.O.? How bout we some numbers rather than the same old platitudes.

Do you think the media would have let Bush get away with withholding those reports?

No chance.
