Lies of Futures Past

Spiritual maturity is a lifelong process of replacing lies with truth." -Kurt Bruner

talking headsThe current meme being posited by Conservative wing-nuts, appearing in disproportionate numbers on our corporate-owned media, is that Barack Obama is the cause of this current economic bellyflop. I foretold that they would try something like this as long as a year ago, so allow me a moment for a particularly appropriate response:

BWAHHHHHHHHH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAA!

BWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-HAHA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAAAA!

AH-HA-AH-HA-AH-HA-AH-HA-AH-HA-AH-HA-AH-HA-AH-HA-AH-HA!

OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD I CAN'T BREATHE I CANT BREATHE I CAN'T BREATHE. OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.

Snort-snurk-gurgle-pleh. Ahhhhhhh-hehhhhhhhhhhh.

Okay, I'm better now. For those of you who couldn't follow that line of reasoning, let's try this:

On May 19th, the market was at 13,028.
On July 15th the market was at 10,962.
On Oct 10th, the market was at 8451.
On Nov 20th, the market was at 7552

Yes, that's 50% loss of stock market value in the last six months of that hideous little quislings regrettable reign. And PLEASE don't forget this little scumbag wanted to tie Social Security to the stock market. Yes, they knew this was coming all along and they wanted ALLLLL the money.

But wait.... it wasn't the stock market disintegration that was Mr. Obama's fault... it was jobs. Well, let's go to the charts:
job loss chart

As you can see these massive job losses started lonnnng before Mr. Obama took office.

Most of America understands this and that's why we desperatley need a new invention called Slap-O-Vision. You see, the next time a Republican talking-head goes on Meet The Press and begins spewing more treasonous tripe you'll just press the Slap Button and a "Whammo", instant relief.

Patent pending.
