Why did Obama go to Elkhart, Indiana, to deliver a speech on Economic progress in this state?  What is he running for this time – dog catcher?  Doesn’t Obama realize they have a Republican governor and not a Democratic governor?.  Surely his office knew that?  That is the main reason Indiana – under Governor Pence and the Legislature’s leadership – has been so successful – it wasn’t because Obama had anything to do with it.  Doesn’t he realize that?  He is pulling that same old line – he doesn’t have anything to crow about from his own party so he is going to take the glory from the Republicans – sneaky devil.

From the looks of things during his speech, he wasn’t too welcomed and was booed.  In fact – he told the booer’s to vote instead of booing.

Wonder why he told the crowd not to watch or listen to Trump’s tweets?  He isn’t running for any spot – so why is he so concerned.  In fact, at one point he got stuck on the word “if, if, if.”  Did he leave his teleprompter at our White House?

Maybe Obama should go campaign  in a Democratic state like California next time – where all of the illegals are that he brought into the country.  They owe Obama a clap, clap.

Obama Bashes Trump’s Economic Policy in Indiana
By Claire Landsbaum

President Obama Discusses Economic Progress During Visit To Indiana High School.

Obama on Trump: Don’t listen to the tweets.

Barack Obama isn’t technically running for office, but during a speech in Elkhart, Indiana, Wednesday night, he touted the success of his administration’s economic policy in a manufacturing town he first visited during the Great Recession. In doing so, he also criticized the economic (and foreign, and immigration) policy of Republican nominee Donald Trump, indirectly attempting to tip the scales in favor of the Democratic presidential nominee.

“The primary story that Republicans have been telling about the economy is not supported by the facts,” the president said. “But they say it anyway.” That “myth,” he said, is one of “crazy, liberal government spending,” and it’s not true. Outside of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, Obama said his administration spent less on domestic priorities than Ronald Reagan’s.

Obama opened his speech by outlining Republicans’ (a.k.a. Trump’s) view of the economy as it stands:
So their basic story is, America’s working class, America’s middle class, has been victimized by a big, loaded federal government run by a bunch of left-wing elitists like me. And the government is taking your hard-earned tax dollars and giving them to freeloaders and welfare cheats, and we’re strangling business with endless regulations, and this federal government is letting immigrants and foreigners steal whatever jobs Obamacare hasn’t killed yet.

(Goodness, Obama finally pointed out how they are ripping off the American people.)

The audience laughed, but Obama promised he was serious. The Republican economic agenda is a direct response to that “story,” he said, and it won’t help working-class families. “When I hear working families thinking about voting for those plans, I want to have an intervention,” he said of Trump’s vision. “That’s not going to make your lives better. That will help people like him.”

Then, Obama dismantled each piece of the Republican vision. First, he noted that the government’s deficit had actually shrunk during his and Bill Clinton’s term, while it grew during George W. Bush’s and Ronald Reagan’s. He called for immigration reform, saying that deporting 11 million immigrants is a “fantasy” that “wouldn’t do anything to help the middle class.”

“Look, in today’s economy we can’t put up walls around America,” he went on. “We’re not going to deport 11 million people. We’re not going to put technology back in the box.”

(Why Obama, shame on you  – didn’t Obama put the space program back in the box?)

He then admonished Republicans for complaining about Wall Street regulations following the economic crash of his early presidency. “Have we really forgotten what happened just eight years ago?” he asked. “Why would you do that? Less oversight on Wall Street would only make another crisis more likely.”

(Yes, Obama  calls it oversite – Americans call it collusion.)

Obama mentioned Trump’s name only once, and the audience booed. “No, don’t boo him; we’re voting,” he said before going on to rip Trump’s blowhard style: Don’t “fall for a bunch of okey-doke just because you know it sounds funny or the tweets are provocative,” he warned.

(Yes, is Obama  calling American’s Okey-doke’s?)

The president’s speech is likely a preview of what’s to come if (or when) he hits the campaign trail in support of the Democratic nominee. And, although Hillary Clinton isn’t officially the party’s nominee, she’s all but mathematically ensured the nomination, especially if she performs well in next Tuesday’s California primary.

In an interview today, Clinton’s campaign manager, Robby Mook, told CNN he believes Obama will endorse the nominee “very quickly,” giving him time while still in office to throw his weight behind the candidate. “The president has already done a fantastic job … explaining why Donald Trump is such a threat,” Mook said. “I think he’ll be out there campaigning vigorously.” After all, “No one is better qualified to talk about what it takes to be our commander in chief.”

(Will Obama endorse a crook or a convict?  Obama Qualified – doing what and where?)
