It looks like Obama is going have a very sore arm after patting himself on the back so much today in his first news conference after the election of Trump as our next President. The election of Trump is a clear rejection of 99% of what Obama did as President. If Obama's ego was not so big he would admit that he tried to take the country in the wrong direction and the voters have made a correction with the election of Trump. Here are some examples of how stupid Obama is.
He is going to help the middle class and those on the lower end of the economic ladder by supporting a higher minimum wage. I don't know of anything that kills jobs at the bottom faster. He thinks that this is the way that those on the lower end of the economic ladder get "a bigger piece of the pie". It sounds like he thinks that businesses run on magic.
He challenged the new Trump administration about taking the insurance away from 20 million people who are now on Obamacare. Isn't it some kind of "set up" by Obama to make Republicans take the candy away from a child who never deserved the candy in the first place.
Obama claimed that immigrants built this country and that we need more to continue that process. He seemed to claim that if we have a younger population that it is better for the economy. I think that the median age in the Gazza Strip is about 13 years and they are one of the poorest group of people in the world. Japan has some of the oldest people and they have a better quality of life than we do. I think that you understand from some of my past blogs how stupid Obama is on this point.
How about keeping your kids on your companies health insurance plan until they are 26. Obama makes it sound like that was for "free" when it adds to the cost of products made here while not affecting the cost of products made outside the USA. The true cost of this "mandate" is hidden and thus Obama can pull the wool over the eyes of many of our stupid voters.
How about "pre-existing" conditions? This is not free either. Healthy responsible people have to pick up the tab for over weight people, smokers and drug users. We should not spend any more for health care than Japan does where they live almost 10 years longer.
Obama also made claims for how he has helped the environment. Ask farmers what they think or coal miners. All this has done is to make our products less competitive and thus has caused the loss of jobs here. For some reason, Obama did not explain how and why his administration squandered so much of our tax money on uneconomical "clean energy" like wind mills and solar. He did not acknowledge the extra energy that 25 million illegal aliens use. It dwarfs any savings that he thinks his administration has made.
Regarding health care. Obama thinks that the cost of health care goes up by magic when it goes up due to burdensome regulations and throwing more money to drug companies and insurance companies. He never points out anything that he has done to drive down cost. Remember that we import over half of our doctors. I am glad that he did not mention the liberal student loan program that has wasted over a trillion dollars. We need more doctors, scientists and engineers, not more kids with worthless political science degrees if we are going to compete with the rest of the world.
I did not take notes, so I know I have missed many of Obama's stupid claims. The question that he should have gotten was, "How did being a community organizer prepare you for the office of President of the USA compared to Trump's experience?"
PS---Both Obama and Trump need to test their actions against this simple criteria:'
* Does it raise the median family income?
* Does it increase our exports and balance of trade?
Notice that Obama has failed on both of the above!
