This is a President who has increasingly presided over one negative economic record after another. And, there is another not included in the above records: The highest number of Americans in poverty -- nearly one in seven -- since Lyndon Johnson declared a "War on Poverty" more than 50 years ago. Also, Obama is slated to have the 4th worst economic record in the history of the country. Only Herbert Hoover, Andrew Johnson, and Teddy Roosevelt were worse.
This President not only thinks, but knows, that most people will believe his lies because they don't understand all the facets and facts that make up the economy, and aren't interested in researching what he says. And, for sure, the liberal media isn't going to do their job and expose his lies.
