NBC’s Chuck Todd Runs Down the Ways America Is Not Better Off After 4 Years of Obama

Jan. 17, 2013 1:46pm Madeleine Morgenstern

NBC’s Chuck Todd on Wednesday ran down a number of ways the U.S. is not better off than it was four years ago when President Barack Obama first took office.

Among them: median household income is lower, more Americans are living below the poverty line and the 7.8 percent unemployment rate is exactly the same.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

I bet 5 bucks that in 2014 the meida starts changeing there minds or at least starts showing the real numbers. Mostly because they know they won’t win agein with the next presadent. How ever I won’t lie. I wish the R’s would have just all said ok we will pass every thing you want, but you have to say to the world after it does not work that taxes will never work, and my years proved it. Lol. Ya right. Like any of that will happen, but ether way. I do find it amazing how easy people can be fooled. Weather its the D’s or the R’s. Most of all women. I know Obama got most of there vote, and it made my mouth drop, and made me hit my self. Why? Because I know some women are easy, but really that many? Wow. Now I know if I want a easy date all i have to ask is are you a D or R? At least I know what I am working with. Lol.

His reelection had nothing to do with the media reporting or not reporting. The fractured base of the Republican party that decided to stay at home on election day to “MAKE THEIR POINT” made their point. We’ve got him for another 4 years. The country will survive them,but what it looks like at the end scares me to death. Think of him adding the House in 2014, a distinct possibility, and consider what we look like in 2016. Oh yeah, who is going to beat Hillary in the next Presidential election? Think the press will be any kinder to the next mushy Republican nominee?

Um, I beg to differ, but the unemployment rate is much higher than 7.8 percent.

Even a pathetic Liberal “Reporter” can’t hide from the facts once in a while………………
Unfortunately those additional few million living in poverty are now OBAMA voters as they are being promised “A Whole New World”….

Like many people, I’ve considered Bush Jr the ‘worst ever’ president, but the jury’s still out. Obongo just may usurp Bush’s title, just like W took this ‘worst ever’ prize away from Lyndon (s.o.) B. Johnson.

It’s too bad that the unemployment rate they quote is so hacked. They should be showing the real unemployment rate, which is closer to 15%.

Obamacare will also do wonders for our healthcare. Went to see my internist this morning, after having seen my urologist yesterday afternoon to learn that after a prostatectomy my PSA is going up. The cancer was discovered through a PSA test and is coming back, so it’s off to radiation treatment for me. Of course we’ve been told that PSA tests ($25-50), mammograms (saved my wife by finding her breast cancer ~15 years ago), and colonoscopies are all wastes of money, except for important people like politicians of course. We don’t want to mention things like this though because it’s not PC, and likely racist too….

Maybe they are trying to redeem their souls? Or maybe it is that controversy sells news and the agenda is far enough forward that there is no risk now of being stopped. So, give out just enough truth to look like a fair broker and gin up stories that will assure their paychecks but not enough to waken the American people from their drugged stupor.

Amazing, it took Todd all this time to realize what a broke d__k, Obama was/is. Wait for Obamacare to really hit, Chuck you might think of ranking your former idol (Obama), ahead of the anti-semite from Georgia, Mr. Carter.

I’m glad to see Chuck Todd finally admit these numbers. How convenient that he waited until AFTER the election to do so. I remember Romney pointing to these same failures on the campaign trail and the New York media blacked it out. I also remember Romney promising 12 million new jobs and the New York media telling everyone we are on the verge of getting 12 million new jobs anyway thanks to Obama’s wonderful performance these past four years. I don’t believe the liberal media.

Hey Chucky,
You finally figured that out, did you. Do you really think you have the discernment to be a reporter?

I’ll tell you exactly what is going on with F. Chuck, et. al. There is something detrimental to barry going on behind the scenes and the media sense blood in the water. The more prominent members of the media (I know, oxymoron) come out and sling poop barry’s way, the closer this “detrimental” thing is to surfacing. The libs eat their own if they perceive an existential threat to their world view.

barry on the other hand, is sinking deeper and deeper into his own little magic kingdom not unlike dick nixon did before his day of reckoning.

Concerned about your natural born gun rights being stolen along with your other freedoms? Be at your local state capitol on January 19th @ high noon! It’s a country wide protest aimed at sending the corrupt powers that be a message that we will not allow our rights and our guns to be taken from us in any way whatsoever!!!

It’s a family affair. Bring everybody! The more the better! Bring your signs, be respectful, dress well and don’t give the Socialist media anything they can use for their propaganda. Because they will if they can! This is war people! It ain’t hot yet and we need to prevent it from becoming so by retaining our God given freedom and rights! Strength is the best deterrent! FLOOD THE CAPITOLS so they can’t ignore us!
