how does it recognize and report a intended obama death spiral?
One week after the election.
How “convenient”.

Duh....when the the first Obama recession end? We never noticed. It was a figment of the Obama media and the crooked Labor Dept. that has been cooking the books since he was inaugurated. But the worst is yet to come.
There were two false “recoveries” during The Great Depression. One lasted over two years, so this should come as no surprise to anyone, especially Helicopter Ben, who claims to be an expert on that era.
Poppycock! You forget - ol’ Barack O’Claus is on the throne for another four and he won’t let it happen! It’s cake and circuses and clowns every day!! (Brought to us by the fringe liberal cesspools on the coasts!)
Uhhhh... the first recession was caused by Bush’s first term. This one will be caused by Bush’s second term. If a Dem wins in 2016, then that one will be caused by Bush’s response to Katrina. The one after that will be because Bush messed up the TARP bail-out.
well... if we’re going down, thank God Obama is at the helm to get the blame he so richly deserves!
And now that the election is over the government can stop lying about the economic numbers and tell us the truth about how bad the economy is.
This can easily be explained. Republicans got in the way of increased theft from the productive class, more spending and stimuli, and increased management of our everyday life and business activity. And oh yeah, we eat too much meat.
There is no chart needed to prove the existence of recession to thinking people.
I would encourage all Freepers to turn off their Fox News -- and occasionally even Rush Limbaugh -- and get their financial news from resources that include a broad international perspective that doesn't have a political agenda here in the U.S. Bloomberg radio is a good example of this, especially when they have astute guests who can give a good overall picture of things.
One guest on a show last year indicated that his bank's investment decisions (I think he may have been a big shot at the Bundesbank of Germany) are predicated on the assumption that the U.S. is going to be in a de facto recession through most of this decade.
Another similar guest who was weighing in on the U.S. election this year mentioned that nobody in either campaign was talking about the things they knew were problematic but weren't worth talking about because they had no politically viable solutions to them. He predicted that the biggest crisis the U.S. will face in the next four years will be the official bankruptcy of the state of California.
Just a FWIW here ...
Santa bama and the dems own it now, all of it. No more pushing blame off on Bush or anybody else. The destruction of the US economy rests solely on obama’s shoulders, it’s all his fault from now on. Time for the producers to stick it to obamanation and his boot licking RINO toadies.
Idiots, we are still in a recession and it is deepening. Ask suffering Americans. What is coming is a depression worst than the 30’s. We have tanked and it is just a matter of time. Some Countries are still lending us billions in hopes that we go totally communists with a dictator. It has started with King Obama and his communists party. America is finished as we knew it and the Constitution is a worthless piece of paper. I hope not, but reality is setting in.
Didn’t need economic indicators, as soon as 0bama hit 270 EVs, not just recession, but DEPRESSION, was inevitable.
