Ed Morrissey’s Obamateurism of the Day is a quip that Our Lord and Savior Barack Hussein Obama made about creating over 2 million private sector jobs in a little over a year. From the actual (original) White House transcript:
As a consequence of that swift, decisive, and sometimes difficult period, we were able to take an economy that was shrinking by about 6 percent and create an economy that is now growing, and has grown steadily now over many consecutive quarters. Over the last 15 months we’ve created over 2.1 million private sector jobs. (Laughter.)
Of course, when it was brought to their attention that such an absurd claim wasn’t funny, the “Laughter” was changed to “Applause.”
There’s nothing funny about double-digit unemployment (counting those who are underemployed and those who have given up looking for work). There’s nothing funny about people losing their homes and lives because of the Obama Recession brought on and intensified by His economic policies.
This isn’t the first time that Dear Leader thought the lack of jobs in America was a laughing matter.
