Unemployed carpenter Charles Oliver penned a letter to President Obama to ask, “Are we as Americans going to be alright?” Mr Obama responded: "I know things are tough right now, and I won't lie to you - it will probably take another year or two to fully dig our way out of this hole.
"But yes, we will be ok. Because America has gotten through tougher times before, and because of good people like you."
Mr Oliver sold the letter to pay for repairs on his truck. The letter is currently on auction for $10,000, none of which Mr Oliver will see, should it be sold. Mr Oliver said of Mr Obama, “He’s out campaigning saying everything is coming up roses. He’s a lying SOB.” It's hard to say he's not right.
A forensic analysis of the handwriting indicates that Mr Obama is very much under confident of a recovery from these times as the first paragraph of his writing slopes on the right side (indicating a gloomy outlook). He did not cross the "T" in the word "it" in the last line of the first paragraph indicating that he is trying to brush past a full awareness of the current crisis, avoiding fully coming to terms with it. The odd shape of the "G" in "dig" indicates that he is extremely under confident, to the point of not even comprehending, the concept behind the word use.
His only action that will affect the economy over time is to raise taxes, which as any economist will tell you only injures economic growth. But clearly, Mr Obama is no economist.
Mr Obama writes the word "hole" most distractedly and unrecognizably of all - putting down something resembling more of the world "like" or "hide." This underlines the fact that, once again, he has no concept of the state of the US economy. How could he as a man who would throw a secret party with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, providing them carte blanche to spend whatever they like when the economy's in a worse state than it's been in in decades?
