ABCNews: We're Currently Enjoying a Recession and Not Enjoying It Very Much
— Ace

Left to Right: The Lightworker; Sheriff Joe

Quoted at Hot Air.

"Recovery Summer" turns out to be half right -- Barack Obama's crack economic team did in fact predict that summer would follow the spring (with 95% confidence).

GOP Targets Obama's 'Recovery Summer' Amid Economic Gloom

Republicans Poised to Hammer Democrats on Jobs Promises Ahead of November

You make it sound so negative. We're not going to be talking down his super-amazing legislative accomplishments, managing to get big, destructive bills through a hostile Congress in which he has great majorities of Democrats; we're going to be talking up his two years of abject, catastrophic failure.

The White House dubbed it "Recovery Summer" and President Obama declared the economy had begun "growing at a good clip." Vice President Joe Biden predicted weeks earlier that creation of 250,000 to 500,000 new jobs a month could soon be on the horizon.

But with summer quickly coming to an end, those jobs gains and a robust economic recovery have not yet materialized, leaving Democrats on the verge of a fall election campaign in which Republicans are poised to make them eat their words.

"Sadly, this so-called 'Recovery Summer' could end up with more Americans finding themselves out of work then when it began," said National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Ken Spain. "Expect Republican candidates across the country to ask one simple question of Democrat incumbents: 'Where are the jobs?'"

...

"I think we're going to get a fair amount of credit by November," said Vice President Biden. "I think we're going to do fine." Biden has predicted the Democrats will keep both the House and Senate.

You will get a great amount of credit, Sheriff. More than you can handle.

But touting summer 2010 as "the most active Recovery Act season yet" and, implicitly, as a period of job growth, belies a reality many Americans say they are experiencing.

Only 27 percent of Americans see the economy as improving, according to the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll. And a new low -- 43 percent -- approve of Obama's handling of the economy.

"'Recovery Summer' is their 'mission accomplished' without the banner," said Larry Sabato....

Picture -- a real unaltered presidential double-facepalm -- found by Slublog. Once he sent me that I had to post this article.

By the way, the headline is a near-exact quote from Bush the Elder, who clumsily expressed himself that way during the recession that doomed him.

31 So, Chris, the lesson tonight is that, no matter how right the President is, no matter how far reaching and long term his plans are, if he does not produce results immediately for an electorate that is condition for instant gratification, like 3 year olds throwing a fit, then that fit will continue and, unjustly, in my opinion, taint a President who, if we could just get the message out over the thundering din of his distractors, has accomplished perhaps more in his first 18 months than any President since FDR.

That is creepily accurate.

Then we move on to the road map.  That's why proven failure Paul Krugman is such a snot about it.

"When I began monitoring the newsletter industry in the 1980s, it was taken as an article of faith that October was the worst month of the year.

Then somebody decided to actually check the historical record (imagine that), and discovered this widely-held belief was wrong.

September, not October, turned out to have the dubious honor of being the worst month on average for the stock market."

90 9. Wisconsin - Republican up 1. Turn out is going to be the key.

I did my first stint at the local Victory Center on Saturday...mostly voice mail and no answer (was a gorgeous day to be outside).  I hate hate hate calling strangers...but I'm going back next week.  If I don't have a job by mid-October I can be there every day....and if I don't have a job on Weasel Stomping Day I'll be giving rides to old people.  (If the local Democrats slash the center's tires, I'll use my car.)

Barry: Let me be clear. Recovery Summer didn't mean the economy recovering and the unemployment rate going down and businesses getting back on their feet. The recovery was me recovering from all of the hard work I'm doing by golfing and going on vacation. And by that definition Recovery Summer is a great success.

Biden has predicted the Democrats will keep both the House and Senate.

 

"If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what." ~Barack Hussein Obama

I agree, CAC, the house IMO is pretty much a done deal. The Senate is the battle ground and I want to take that hill too. Then we can start repealing those things the People never wanted in the first place.

Progressivism is Liberalism on bad drugs (we've always known it, but they fooled many of the People for a while there). Both are dirty words to Free People now. They are well on their way to obscurity.

But we can't let up. These fucks are like herpes, they never really go away. We gotta kill 'em dead...once and for all.

113 Good news on the crush the Dems in Nov. --just received in my email news that Tipton is leading Salazaar in CO, 3rd district. WooHoo! The poll by Magellan Strategies surveyed 973 likely general election voters in the 3rd Congressional district. The survey’s margin of error of 3.14%. For complete poll results go to: http://votetipton.com/poll Scott Tipton is a 30-year Colorado small business owner who has a proven track record of creating private sector jobs, balancing a real budget and making tough choices – responsibilities the Democrat-controlled Congress has failed to uphold.

114 I want 12-14 senate seats. We can't get fillibuster proof, veto override but if we get enough seats some of the Dems will probably cross the aisle to save themselves and the party rather than sticking with the socialists.

If you euqated the depression unemployment which ranged around 20%, we are just shy of there with an apples to apples compare at 18.4%. Remeber they didn't use the phony number, 9.5%, we do now.

117 "Recovery Summer" turns out to be half right -- Barack Obama's crack economic team did in fact predict that summer would follow the spring (with 95% confidence).

But are you sure there will be Winter?  I can say with certainty there will not. And if there is, you won't see me again until next summer.

Only 27 percent of Americans see the economy as improving, according to the most recent ABC News/Washington Post poll. And a new low -- 43 percent -- approve of Obama's handling of the economy.

 

Given that roughly half of the population is of below-average intellegence, it looks like even some in that half have begun to see that The One just isn't.

130 ABCNews reports ....Biden has predicted the Democrats will keep both the House and Senate. Which would be true for Nov 3, the day after Nov 2 elections, and will carry forth until newly elected members are seated in Jan 2011. Then i predict a totally different scenario for both bodies.
