LOOK AT THE NUMBERS and notice the trend.

[Neubarth]

For those people who think the economy is rebounding. When I show them the real numbers as opposed to the headlines coming out of Obama's Washington, they call their brokers and ask if this is really true.

Our manufacturing sector is very sick, but our service sector is collapsing. We are falling deeper and deeper into Depression and all Obama has done is try to deceive people into thinking everything is fine and getting better. Lie after lie after lie after lie has come out of Washington in the headlines associated to the economic data releases. Shame! He needs to create jobs, not lies. You can not feed and shelter your family with lies.
