Obama gets grief for saying private sector ‘fine’
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama declared Friday that “the private sector is doing fine,” drawing instant criticism from Republicans who said it showed a lack of understanding of the nation’s economic woes. GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney responded, “Is he really that out of touch?”
Obama said Friday that businesses had created 4.3 million jobs during the past 27 months and the primary problem with employment is that state and local governments had been forced to cut jobs in the private sector. He urged Republicans in Congress to help them rehire workers.
Republicans pounced.
Romney, holding a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, said Obama’s remark was “defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the American people.” He said the comment “is going to go down in history as an extraordinary miscalculation and misunderstanding.”

Obama gets grief for saying private sector ‘fine’
Here you go America, THIS is what sheer stupidity look like! Somewhere in Kenya a village is missing its IDIOT!
Ladies and Gents, I submit that Barack Hussein Obama is the most incredibly STUPID person to EVER infest the White House. And yes, I DID say INFEST!
But while “doing fine” is in the eye of the beholder, Obama was correct that the job picture in the private sector is brighter than in the public sector. Since the recession officially ended in June 2009, private companies have added 3.1 million jobs. Largely because of cuts at the state and local level, governments have slashed 601,000 jobs over the same period. According to the government, corporate profits have risen 58 percent since mid-2009.
Even so, by historical standards, private job gains in the last three months have been weak after such a deep recession.
There is a lot wrong with this nation, there has been for a long time, but there is nothing wrong with America that can’t be fixed by sound fiscal measures, mature, Conservative leadership and a business atmosphere, as opposed to a *welfare state* that feeds radical Islam (Pakistan) and *hood rats* that only have one talent, spitting out *welfare slugs*.
Barack Hussein Obama has done NOTHING to help America.
What he has presided over is a near collapse of American financial sources, he pushed *Obama Care* off on a nation that didn’t want it, he handed out BILLIONS in stimulus that basically didn’t work (Solyndra), he stopped the Keystone XL pipeline, thus killing only God knows how many great paying jobs for Americans that NEED them, and I am sure there are many more areas of failure that some of you fine folks can add into the comments section.
Yes indeed, the private sector is alive, not well, but alive and surviving, and we’re going to clean out the White House come November, then this nation will have a fighting chance!
Hold your nose if that’s what it takes, but do NOT sit home in November, support and vote for Mitt Romney!
Bobby Jindal had a gem (from the article):
“The private sector is so foreign to him he might need a passport to go visit,” Jindal said. “He might need a translator to talk to people in the private sector.”
This President is such glaring failure. It’s just beyond my comprehension why so many fools still support him. Who the hell are these idiots slappin’ Obama ’12 stickers on their cars? I saw another one today. What the hell? Seriously?
Morons, total morons…
I see so many people posting this silly BS about *Zombies*, they need to get their stuff together and realize, Zombies are a TV thing, Obama MORONS are real, and they are a threat…
But, Obama morons and zombies can both be stopped the same way!
Just sayin’… 😈
Fred, there are Zombies. Bob Hope nailed them.

To Obama,, the Public sector means public federal employees.
And “they” are doing just fine.I heard his speech “live” on TV.
It’s the rest of us, who are in a darn near “soup line” depression.
You can take all the Section 8 lines and grind them up and make “Soylent Green” cookies out of them,,,just like the last Edgar G Robinson film.
Although the black pigment may make these “cookies” into an awful inedible color, and taste.
Fred, people are forgetting or haven’t yet figured out that Barry, of Choom Gang renown, was placed in the White House to destroy America not to make it better. He is a traitor and should be dealt with accordingly.
Yesterday, I was working in the kitchen when the press conference came on live television. I was listening (I can’t stand to WATCH Obama these days) and sipping some iced tea.
When he spoke that lie about the private sector, fortunately I was near the sink and spewed the iced tea in my mouth all over that sink! Then, I had a coughing fit. I simply could not believe my ears!
Yes, all politicians lie. But yesterday’s lie from Obama took the prize for lying in public.
Later, I watched a video of the entire press conference and closely watched his body language. IMO, he actually BELIEVES that lie! The man is not only stupid; he’s unhinged.
Barack Obama doesn’t get it and it is because his focus isn’t on helping the private sector, it is on getting more people on the government dole and that is one thing he has been successful at.
Of course the halfrican thinks the private sector is doing fine. He wants it destroyed.
