Obama says Economy Better Today????

[r0beph]

OMG! Does his power have no limits at all? One man is singlehandedly destroying the economies of two nations! How did we ever allow one individual to wield such power?

I dunno, bush destroyed the economy of America, Iraq, and Afghanistan. We reelected him.

Doesn't really look like it's going up 4x as you stated; in fact it seems to be going down (which happens to be up, in this case...) either way, its getting better, not the assumed "worse" that you've made up from uncited (and seemingly imaginary) sources.

National Debt is a different story,

But if you notice it's been Two versions of Bush and Company who tanked that. Obama inherited the mess. If you want the truth, I suggest you exchange Obama's Deficit, with Bush's Debt, the rise and increase right now is directly correlated with Bush's acts in office, anything Obama does won't show a rise for a while yet. Come back when that data is valid, and we'll talk.

Talk about misleading, your "deficit" figures are in fact just a trade deficit, and have nothing to do with the budget deficit which is what was being talked about.

Both the deficit and the national debt are going way up.

He's been copying Bush's technique on the economy. Maybe doing the same in Afganistan would work as well.

Yeah....right....everybody benefitted from Lil' Dumbya's Bank Bailout Buck$!!

Here is the take on the current economy and how bad it has gotten
under Obama by Paul Krugman (A Liberal Kook for sure)

Just to be clear: the economic situation remains terrible, indeed worse than almost anyone thought possible not long ago. The nation has lost 6.7 million jobs since the recession began. Once you take into account the need to find employment for a growing working-age population, we’re probably around nine million jobs short of where we should be.

And the job market still hasn’t turned around — that slight dip in the measured unemployment rate last month was probably a statistical fluke. We haven’t yet reached the point at which things are actually improving; for now, all we have to celebrate are indications that things are getting worse more slowly.

Now the fact he states is this:
It's getting worse!

It's called CHANGE!
