As part of the large group of analysts on CNN Tuesday night dissecting the results of the New Hampshire primaries , Philadelphia Democratic Mayor Micheal Nutter repeated the lie “people are angry” , over and over again.
It was somewhat shocking to see an elected Democratic official sitting in a television studio regurgitating the garbage fed him and the rest of us by the very same network and others like it.
People are angry , people are angry, that’s the media narrative of course that goes down pretty well with Donald Trumps campaign slogan of “Let’s make America great again”
Let’s make America great again is an extension of “Let’s take back our Country”.
It’s unclear whether Americans are aware just how the media to which they look for information is deceiving them? As we ponder this question it’s important to understand the fact that what we call the main-stream-media is actually a well put together network of propaganda organs owned and operated by the richest people in the world.
It’s no wonder that for the most part substantive issues are cast to the side while fluff and inconsequential issues are front and center . That’s what the corporate shills want you to consume while they move their agenda.
How do you explain the rise of social media as the entity to which more and more people, particularly younger people are looking to for their information?
Does anyone believe Donald Trump was a serious candidate for President of the United States before the media recycled and circulated him over and over , foisting him onto the consciousness of gullible voters?
It is said if you spin a lie enough times it eventually becomes truth. Republicans running for office over the last several cycles have mastered the art of lying over and again until the lies become truth. What is astounding is when those who position themselves as leaders within the Democratic party actually accept the lies and end up repeating them. The notion that people are angry is a Republican lie circulated by a complicit media to gin up anger and ratings for the media and passion for the republicans, which they hope will nullify Obama’s accomplishments.
So lets quickly see whether there is any legitimacy to this narrative.
Under Barack Obama over 9 million jobs created, as against 800 thousand jobs being lost each month under Bush.
Vice President Biden in 2008 said ‚“In the last six months of the Bush administration, we lost 3.5 million jobs,” . “As a matter of fact, on that magnificent day … when we were sworn in, before I lowered my hand that day after taking the oath … we’d already lost over 760,000 jobs that month.”
A politico fact check bore out the Vice President’s claims.
Gas was $5 per gallon, today gas is less than $2 per gallon.
President Obama did not only save the Auto industry he made it stronger than ever.
He restored America’s image abroad.
There were two active wars with no end in sight, today the world continue to be a challenging place but Obama did not start any new wars.
The economy imploded by the time Obama took office, today the American economy creates hundreds of thousands of jobs every month since he took office.
The Housing market has regained significant portions of what it lost after the melt-down.
The affordable Care Act brought health care to millions something several presidents who preceded Obama was unable to do.
Wall street has come roaring back , with both the Nasdaq and the stock exchange registering phenomenal gains.
I could go on and on but you get the picture.
So to Mayor Nutter and others, before you parrot Republican/media talking points step back and evaluate your statements before you become a mouthpiece of deception.
Barack Obama accomplished everything he did against the greatest intransigence and obstruction any president has every had to contend with.
People are not angry, Republicans are mad that Barack Obama is a successful two-term President despite their best efforts at obstruction, propaganda and smear.
