This headline says it all:
Obama says shutdown caused ‘completely unnecessary damage’ to economy
(courtesy of NBCNEWS.com)
The White House, in an effort to defer blame from the obviously poor economic reports that will be reported soon, took center stage today.
Indications of upcoming poor employment numbers, poor manufacturing numbers, and the typical housing slow down during this time of year would definitely create a pall over the administration.
As it is, the continuing poor reception/roll out of the administration’s signature piece of legislation: The Affordable Care Act is creating enough of a headache to them.
So, what better way to avert everyone’s attention than to blame the upcoming poor news on those damn Republicans and the shutdown?
Mr. President, please. I realize that the majority of the American people are actually apathetic and/or selectively ignorant, but really. Do you actually expect us to believe that reports compiled upon data that occurred months ago is due to sixteen days of hitting the pause button?
Really?
There’s noth
ing more to say. It will be fun to see how this plays out.
Understand something, this ‘shutdown’ is exactly what the administration wanted. It deferred people’s, the press, and congress’ attention from the ongoing IRS, Benghazi, Spygate, Seal Team 6, and the other ‘scandals’ that have been going on.
When all is said and done, you have to admit, love him or hate him, Harry Reid’s puppet President is master magician who keeps everyone’s attention from what is going on behind the curtain. And, he keeps us entertained.
P.S. Everyone does realize that our government now collects more tax revenue than at any time in history. Don’t you? Raise the debt ceiling? Why even have it?
