Joe Biden, the man who saved the Vice Presidency from the ravages of intellectual decimation threatened by the candidacy of Sarah Palin, has put his superior intellect to work in explaining why Democrats are not running on the so-called achievements of the Obama administration.
According to Biden, the issues involved are simply too complex for the ordinary man and woman to grasp.
As reported, in part, at Reference 1:
Democrats aren’t running on the administration’s accomplishments like health-care and financial-regulatory overhaul and the stimulus because “it’s just too hard to explain,” Biden said. “It sort of a branding, I mean you know they kind of want the branding more at the front end.”
“Less bad is never good enough,” Biden said in an interview on board Air Force Two on Oct. 8, the same day that Labor Department figures showed the jobless rate held steady at 9.6 percent in September, the last yardstick before voters in the Nov. 2 elections determine which party controls Congress.
With unemployment topping 9.5 percent for 14 straight months, Biden is having difficulty trumpeting the 3.3 million jobs created or saved by the White House’s economic stimulus.
“It’s just really hard to convince people that when there weren’t, up until the first of the year, when there weren’t net new jobs it’s awful hard to say, ‘It’s working,’” he said at the end of a three-state campaign swing Oct. 7-8 for four Democratic candidates in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Washington. “It’s counterintuitive.”
With all due respect Mr. Vice-President, the American people are not complete idiots, contrary to the opinions of the Democrat Party and leftist media.
Americans are in the mood for revolution because it is clear that no one in the administration, particularly Barack Obama, has a clue about what works and what does not work in fixing a battered economy.
Americans intuitively know that Obama’s formula of more federal spending, higher taxes, more big government meddling, and anti-business policies do NOT promote economic growth or prosperity.
There is nothing complex about ObamaNomics: It simply does not work!
