Obama: No Hopey, No Changey to Economy When it comes to our economy, all the hope Paul Revere House Circa 1903 and change stuff has produced very little change but continued hope that things will improve even though Obamanomics remains a failed policy. Of course, it isn’t his fault, right? President George W. Bush is still responsible for today’s mess. How long is the statute of limitations on blaming George W. for 2012? Here we are heading toward re-election time and neither the White House nor the lapdogs in the liberal media hold Barack Obama responsible for anything negative. It’s as if the Bush Legacy has been taken hostage by the Obama-ites and used as a drape to cover Obama’s southern exterior. On June 1, the president stated the obvious. The latest employment numbers show that the economy is not creating jobs “as fast as we want,” but pledged the economy will improve. Speaking at a Honeywell plant in Minnesota, he added, “We do have better days ahead.” May figures show only 69,000 jobs were added during the month and the unemployment number increased to 8.2 percent. Of course, this is the official gov- ernment figure but the actually living and breathing U.S. citizens out of work is about 15 percent or 88 million Americans. Also on June 1 at a fundraiser in Minnesota after his afternoon photo op, he added that today is “as tough a pe- riod in our country’s history as anything in our lifetimes, certainly since the 1930s.” He believes progress has been made but “we’re not out of the John Papandrea (gentlemen wearing vest) was born in Greece in 1875 and died in (Continued on Page 8) 1957. John sold fruits and vegetables in front of the Paul Revere House in 1903 at the age of 28. He was the son of Andrea Papandrea, who was the Prime Minister of Greece. John was married to Carmela and they had five children.
