I am sick and tired of many a policy analyst/wonk and even some Republicans saying they "believe" President Obama has compassion for the poor and the middle class. I challenge that notion and do not believe it to be the case. Moreover, I seriously question whether or not, as Commander-in Chief, he really cares about our nation's national security.
Our country's real unemployment rate is about 14.3%, not 7.6% . The real unemployment number, which was used years ago, would not look good for the Obama Administration which has not or does not enact policies which encourage job growth. One need only look at businesses cutting employee hours in order to avoid obamacare.
While I did not hear the "chuckle" I am appalled that he did this although, it may have been unintentional. Obama may "see" few jobs as a
result of the pipeline, but experts, who have been studying the pipeline dispute that. In an ever increasingly dangerous world, this man prefers development of "green" energy as opposed to making us energy independent of countries that would do us harm. And, he is knowingly perpetuating policies that hurt people and this country - he says all the right things that people want to hear as he toils away to do the opposite.
