Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer, Feb.26th;
“How do you go after Barack Obama, though, right now? I mean, the stock market is up. It looks like the unemployment is going down. David Axelrod in his campaign said the other day Osama bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. It’s going to be a tough job for you, is it now?”
New orders for U.S. manufactured goods fell in January by the most in three years as demand fell across the board from machinery to aircraft, suggesting the economy started the year on weaker footing than expected.
Yeah, but Obama is like so dreamy! He’s like a black Justin Trudeau!
The stock market is up? Really? The Dow Jones priced in gold does not look quite so “recoveryish”. http: //pricedingold dot com/dow-jones-industrials
The great whirring of the Fed printing presses is giving the market what it likes: lots of liquidity.
Earnings. Where are the earnings?
Bob Schieffer is just another water carrier for Obama.
IS the Obama campaign really going to campaign on.
Osama Bin Laden is still dead…..
He made the right decision, good for him, I find it hard to believe he would have made another decision. Its not like he pulled the trigger. Seal Team 6 should run for President if thats the decision criteria.
“New orders for U.S. manufactured goods fell in January by the most in three years as demand fell across the board from machinery to aircraft, suggesting the economy started the year on weaker footing than expected.”
So orders were down for EVERYTHING,and yet it only “suggests” the economy was fubar to start the year? Gotta love leftard weasel words.
Well, Bambi has the old guard of the Republican party doing their best for him.
The present Republican primary campaign is disgusting for a [former?] great power.
And there’s also this:

After all that Democratic joy when the unemployment rate dropped to 8.3%, it jumped right back up to 9% in just a month.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Schieffer.
Heh,
Is it intersting to note and to look at the parallels in the reporting of mass media. Compare what Pres Bush got and what the current President is getting. It is almost diametrically opposed on each point.
Remember during the presidency of Pres Bush, the key phrase was also “unexpected”, however it was always in the direction of being surprised that things were actually better then the”experts” were constantly predicting.
The current president gets the “unexpected” to pretend to mean that the “experts” predicted much better than the current state.
So much for the pretend experts.
Miss Kate being always alert for that, made the observation on many occasions.
I agree. This is a good experiment into how much the media can sway public opinion. They are trying so hard to make the economy seem better than it really is. Obama has seen an upswing in the polls but I think he is peaking about 300 days to early. Just wait for $150 per barrel of oil and $5 gallon gas in the US and $6 a gallon here in Canada. We are going into a rough patch and the media’s cheerleading is not going to help him much come July. There’s not much any of us can do but hang on and hope for a better day this time next year.
The MSM cheerleading continues.
“the economy is improving”. Translation, it can’t get any worse, can it?
The rising cost of transportation will hurt Obama no matter what kind of spin he puts on it. He has made it clear that he approves of green power and unfortunately for him, but good for those of us that want to see him turfed, green power does not deliver the groceries, power ships or airplanes and has the tendancy to empty consumer wallets in Gaia’s name. By May we should see clear indication that the fragile economy has not only stalled but is sliding back downhill again. In the USA as well as Canada, everything moves on wheels and the more it costs to turn those wheels the more unpopular the ruling elite will become. If the price of fossil fuels does not come down drastically by August Obama will be toast, as he has been instrumental in putting his eggs in the green basket rather than doing what’s best for economic recovery. The pain at the pumps will be the primary factor in dumping the worst POTUS the USA has ever had.
The good news is that we are no longer sinking.
The bad news is that we are still at crush depth.
