About keeping liberal Democrats in power, we\u2019re constantly told how wonderful the economy is<\/a>. \u00a0Oh sure, gas prices may be hovering near 4 dollars a\u00a0gallon, \u00a0cost of living prices continue to climb, health care and insurance prices are just now\u00a0beginning\u00a0to go up thanks to the healthcare reform package. \u00a0Not to mention wages continue to lag, and the number of people underemployed, underpaid, or forced to take temp or part time jobs continues to grow. \u00a0This doesn\u2019t count inconsistent economic reports, struggling private sector returns or the fact that the government continues to outpace just about everyone in the employment field. \u00a0And it totally ignores the number of people who have given up or just fallen off the unemployment charts because of being unemployed for so long. \u00a0Nope. \u00a0This is a liberal president, the press\u2019s dude, and they don\u2019t give a damn about the well\u00a0being\u00a0of the country. \u00a0Just like Sandra Fluke\/Rush Limbaugh vs. Bill Maher\/Sarah Palin showed the press doesn\u2019t give a damn about calling women vulgar names. \u00a0Or anything really. \u00a0They care about the power of the progressive revolution. \u00a0And if telling the iPad generation\u00a0that\u00a0all is well, in the hopes that the iPad generation is too stupid or lazy to care, will get the job done, so be it. \u00a0As was said many times in 2012, if a\u00a0Republican\u00a0was elected, at least then we\u2019d find out just how bad off our country is, maybe before it\u2019s too late. \u00a0As it is, nope. \u00a0Thankfully, if the comments sections are to be\u00a0believed,\u00a0 there are some who aren\u2019t buying into the pro-Obama media rallies. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
