No matter how good the numbers are, the 'Conservatives' are going to deny them. After the shipwreck of the two terms of 'W', they simply cannot accept that a moderate liberal Democratic President who also happens to be black has staightened out their mess. It truly messes up their alternative reality.
Wow...talk about an "alternative reality"! I don't know what's more amusing...that you think Barack Obama is a moderate...or that you think that he's straightened anything out.
What, pray tell, has Barry straightened out? The economy? He's overseen the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression. The stock market has come roaring back but that has zero to do with Obama and everything to do with all of the non-stop quantitative easing that the Fed has been doing year after year after year.
I know you don't want to embarrass yourself by saying he's straightened out US foreign policy! His Middle East policy is such a mess right now that I'm not sure if it's something that CAN be fixed!
The truth of the matter is that Barry's pigmentation has ZERO to do with how I feel about his job performance. He's a real life "Chauncy Gardiner".
AOL.com Article - What's making US economy a world beater? 5 factors
By PAUL WISEMAN
WASHINGTON (AP) -- How does the U.S. economy do it?
Europe is floundering. China faces slower growth. Japan is struggling to sustain tentative gains.
Yet the U.S. job market is humming, and the pace of economic growth is steadily rising. Five full years after a devastating recession officially ended, the economy is finally showing the vigor that Americans have long awaited.
Last month, employers added 288,000 jobs and helped reduce the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since September 2008. June capped a five-month stretch of 200,000-plus job gains - the first in nearly 15 years.
After having shrunk at a 2.9 percent annual rate from January through March - largely because of a brutal winter - the U.S. economy is expected to grow at a healthy 3 percent pace the rest of the year.
Here are five reasons the United States is outpacing other major economies:
We are doing better than just about everybody else, yet all you people can do is to wail doom.
Did you even read the article you cited? There's nothing in there that Barack Obama is responsible for. Quite the contrary actually. The bank fix that they talk about was TARP and that was Bush's baby. The Fed's actions...pumping trillions into the system was given twice. You and the article's author seem to be confusing the health of the Stock Market with the health of the economy! Here's a dose of reality for both of you...as long as the Stock Market is being artificially inflated with Fed quantitative easing it will continue it's "growth"...as soon as the Fed stops the QEing that bubble is going to burst and the market WILL contract in a major way. That isn't me "wailing doom"...that's me being intelligent enough to recognize the inherent weakness of a stock market held up by the Fed.
