The President just concluded a frenzied “jobs” bus tour to explain why unemployment is at 9.1% — after borrowing nearly $5 trillion in stimulus the last three years. You know the usual suspects responsible for our, not his, malaise: George Bush did it; the Republican obstructionists in the Congress who were wary of approving another $2 trillion in debt did it; the Tea Party did it; Standard and Poor’s did it; the Japanese earthquake did it; the Japanese tsunami and nuclear accidents did it; the Middle East unrest did it; the European debt crisis did it; new technology like ATM machines did it. Obama has cited these culprits and many more — though never either himself or his advisors who took a weak recovery and turned it into a near recession.

Yep, President The Dog Ate My Homework. President Not Me.

Both the president and his supporters fault supposedly self-interested corporations and “the rich” who sit on “trillions of dollars” in capital, and won’t hire new workers or make massive purchases of equipment.

Oh Reverend help me, I want to get my hands on that money.  By hook or crook I'll get 'em yet.

Let's see...

O'Bama is operating a three card monte game (which, by definition, is crooked) and I am supposed to feel bad or unpatriotic for not growing my payroll under these circumstances? I'm not a genius but I'm not stupid either.

There is no recovery.  We are in a depression and have been for three years.  The frantic printing and deficit spending is papering over that fact.  When the game of musical chairs stops, look out.
