Obama Explains the Problem With the American Economy: ‘Us’

[WestVirginiaRebel]

The Blaze:

President Barack Obama told CEOs on Wednesday that the American economy is strong and would be stronger if not for Republican gridlock in Congress.

 

“There’s not a country out there, including China, that wouldn’t look at us with envy right now,” Obama told members of the Business Roundtable in Washington. “Our problem is not that China will out negotiate us or [Russian President Vladimir] Putin will out-strategize us. Anybody take a look at the Russian economy lately? That’s not our problem. Our problem is us, typically.”

 

He went on to qualify “us” and “we.”

 

“We engage in – I’m being generous when I say we – we engage in self-inflicted wounds like this government shutdown,” Obama said.

 

He went on to criticize some Republicans for opposing the extension of the Export-Import Bank, infrastructure projects and other initiatives he said should be bipartisan.
