Here's what they're going to distort.
The Bush economy has been roaring along for years. Recently the growth was a staggering 5.6 %. Economists and the administration itself are forecasting a considerably slower summer and fall in terms of growth. So any scaling back of the roaring growth will be dubbed "an economic slowdown", even though the economy is predicted to continue growing but by less than recently.
I think the demos/msm have already started distorting it. One more thing the President and his men need to get waaaay out in front of and make certain the American public hears this from "their mouth rather than demo spin.
I have my own method of determining how our economy is doing in simplistic terms. I drive 400 miles of Interstate highway once a month. When I see heavy traffic of the big rigs carrying goods - I know our economy is doing just fine and the demos are full of bs even with all their convoluted explanations of how we are doomed. How can the average American look around himself and believe all the doom and gloom.
