This report is a little too softball, considering that they seem to yield to the idea that the economy was in more dire straits than Obama and his economic team had expected. They say that the stimulus almost met it’s job creation goals, but it was ‘overwhelmed’ by much great job losses than expected. That’s interesting, because the point of the stimulus was supposed to turn things around. Everything. You can create 1 million jobs, but if you are losing 1 million at the same time, you’ve not created anything. That’s a net jobs creation of ZERO. And to suggest that Obama didn’t know what he was getting into, we’ll that’s poppy cock. We’ve heard him say over and over that this is the worst crisis since the great depression.

All that said, it’s a pretty good indicator of an economic record that he won’t be able to run on this fall. Or as the analyst notes, if things don’t turn around and we see substantially more job growth, “reelect me because it might’ve been worse” isn’t a great platform to run on.

    It’ll be both entertaining and infuriating to see how they and the corrupt media spin this.

    What saddens me is the growing moocher class, the public school educated dumb masses, and the increasing numbers of sleeping Americans that couldn’t give a squat. They will continue to be easily hypnotized and confused – and stories like this will fall on deaf ears. And that could get dear ruler – as ridiculously inadequate as he is – another four years.

    We should have a victory here easily… but evil and ignorance reign supreme these days.

      You said it best. Pathetic isnt it? And these same people who are apathetic or just plain ignorant will be the loudest whiners when they wake the hell up and finally notice the changes.

        Agreed. It will be too late for them… they will have already sold their souls.

    Yeah there was slippage along the way all right…the day and hour that the idiotic electorate voted your sorry Keynisian Marxist rear end into office. We plan on rectifying that problem post haste in November.

    Everything Obama says is a lie, he doesn’t want the economy to get better. “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” The only way to replace our system is to collapse it and replace it with a socialist model, ObamaCare for example. It’s the “Cloward and Piven” strategy http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/08/cloward-piven_paradise_now.html

    How’s that god-like power thing going for yah libsticks? Looks like your Messiah is just a mere mortal who is a really good example of why faculty lounge-lizzards should stay out of the WH. He’s also a prime example of why the Peter Principal is a fact.

    This is a very surprising report since Bloomberg is typically in the tank for “ZERO”

    I bet you don’t hear this type of report from again

    As we get closer to November – I am really getting concerned that the GOP will screw this up

    I just pray the Independents wake up and see the light

    Don’t bother trying to convert the “ghoul aid” drinkers –

    Get out the vote in 2012

    This has been a very depressing day. First I hear Obama tell immigration proponents that he has ’5 more years’ to get the job done when asked what’s taking so long on immigration. Pure arrogance.

    Then, in his speech today, he pulls up an old Palin (and then Newt) approach of ‘all the above’ to energy, all the while putting a stop to any energy independence we could have.

    Also, he claims Republicans will come up with a ‘we’ll get gas down to $2/gal’ fake line (knowing all along that Newt has already said he knows how we can get gas back down to $2.50). The news media spins it like Obama said it first and imply that the Republicans came out with it today, after Obama.

    The crowd (of young Obamabots) just ate it up. He had them believing he’s been the best President this country has ever seen and he can do more. Zombies at the doorstep.

    I tell you, this man is dangerous.

    He has people believing that we can get electric cars and wind power running this country long before we can get oil and natural gas flowing. The only wind I’m seeing is a hot bag of air blowing in my face. What the H is wrong with these people?

    He tells everybody that his failed programs are successes and they buy it every time. Hope and Change, my a$$. His poll numbers seem upside down.

    Santorum talks about Satan and I agree with him. When Satan speaks, the unknowing believe it is ‘gospel’. Satan falsely uses the Bible and makes people believe he is righteous. Satan makes us believe he is just when he is actually leading us down the road to ruin, with the LSM pushing all the buttons.

    We must find a way in November. We have no other chance.

    “reelect me because it might’ve been worse” –It’s an argument that holds great intellectual sway over millions.

    Oh, add Samuel L Jackass and I guess that makes it millions plus one. We can be glad that Mr. Jackass wasn’t born a pig or there’d be a fourth party candidate on the ticket.
