Goldman Sachs yesterday posted earnings far above estimates and the bond prices have stabilized. Oil fears are there but are not showing up in oil prices as they are down about $10 from the peak of fear.
It is amazing that most Amerians still say the economy is in terrible shape. My mom called me almost in tears last week about the economy and asked if I felt it would "ever recover". When I told her that the economy is so strong the biggest fear is the Fed will raise rates to cool it off, she thought I was nuts.
The most stark negative about the GOP and President Bush is (besides their social welfare spending) is the fact they are atrocious in getting the true word out to the American public. The RATs would be beating the drums like never before if they were in office.
Exactly! Scott McClellan is a disaster, as are Cheney and other GOP leaders.
Bingo! I agree. The GOP's marketing prowess is pathetic.
If the MSM doesn't carry it, the majority of people don't know it. That is not Bush's fault, that is the fault of the media. The facts are put out regularly by the administration.
George Bush's job is to run this nation, not be a news announcer.
My parents also think CBS/ABC/NBC evening news really is.
"The most stark negative about the GOP and President Bush is (besides their social welfare spending) is the fact they are atrocious in getting the true word out to the American public"
Just how are they going to do that?
With the help of NBC?
CBS?
ABC?
CNN?
MSNBC?
PBS?
Even if Ari were to come back, if the networks don't carry it, the public isn't going to know about it.
Recently I was wondering what happened to Bahgdad Bob. I now believe he has been hired by the GOP as a media consultant. It's the only explanation.
Any reason why the price of gas here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area jumped up 35 cents a gallon in just 24 hours. Yesterday at noon it was 2.15, today at noon it's 2.49.
The economy, the WOT, etc...
