Oh, dear. This is beyond delusional and out of touch. Reminiscent of his absurd “doing just fine” and “headwinds!” comments, President Obama today said that the economy is totally “poised to take off,” during an interview with Bloomberg White House correspondent Julianna Goldman.
Obama tells Julianna Goldman US economy"poised to take off" after fiscal cliff deal,but no deal "without taxes on the rich" @BloombergTV

Also, metaphors are hard.
Obama, mixing metaphors: "America is poised to take off, and the question is let’s make sure we don’t have a self-inflicted wound"

What actually is poised to take off? Hilarious mockery. It was swift and sure, natch.
