It it a recovery or just the dead cat still bouncing?

Obama said he had trouble with 7th grade math, which would explain why he can't understand basic economics. His problem isn't his lack of math skills, but rather his refusal to listen to anyone who does understand the math. The economy is indeed as bad as it appears.

The administration has exacerbated the recession by standing astride the hiring process; threatening employers with higher taxes, higher energy costs, higher medical plan costs, more EPA regulations and union favoritism.

They updated the first time unemployment numbers for last week to almost 400,000. Tell me we are recovering?!!

Just two little things I noticed yesterday - I was in a large grocery store & in the bakery dept. the day-old corner was SWAMPED with shoppers trying to save a little money on bakery items. If the economy is so great, why are people trying so hard to save a few cents on bread? There were also a couple of shelves where an item was not even available - that usually means a n extreme couponer got everything. Also, while driving I've really begun to notice the signs in people's yards. ALL of them are Rpmney/Ryan signs. I've seen only one BO sticker on a car - no yard signs.

Save money, bake your own bread. My favorite recipe:

Buttery White Bread for Bread Machine

This is a delicious, buttery white bread that is
great for sandwiches, toast or just plain with butter.

This has the lightness and texture of Wonder Bread but
with a nice buttery flavor.

2/3 cup lukewarm water
1 large egg
1 tablespooon granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons table salt
5 tablespoons soft butter (I used butter flavor Crisco)
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3 1/4 cups Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 1/2 teaspoons (or 1 packet) bread machine or instant yeast

Add ingredients to bread machine in order listed or
according to your bread machine mfg's directions.

Settings: White Bread, 1 1/2 lb loaf, Medium Crust.

Press Start.

Makes One, 1 1/2 lb loaf.

The obama recovery is actually worse than people say. The government is borrowing money to get people hired. No business does that. No, successful businesses hire people from cash flow, from existing successful business.

Next year, recession is highly likely, no matter who wins.

The Obama recovery is dramatically worse than any since the Great Depression.
Jobs have gone down and just stayed down.
Obama has put us on the path to the 'lost decade'.

You may be correct #7, but perhaps all the pent up business activity that has been kept in check by the threats of increasing taxes from the oblamer regime will be unleashed next year, bucking the trend. We sure don't need another dumbocrat takeover of congress in two years.
