Talk about talking down the economy! No fewer than three times today, Matt Lauer invited Barack Obama to declare that the U.S. economy is headed into recession. At the end of a "Today" interview that focused largely on Hillary-related issues and Iran, Lauer turned to the economy and pressed Obama to predict the worst.

I think Matt Lauer’s a poopyhead. (Hope that doesn’t get me banned!)
I’m so sick of the MSM types manipulating/trying to manipulate the news. Funny that Matty couldn’t pin Ubama down! :-)
I’m off to shop now! [waves]

Whenever I want a detailed explanation of the US economy, I turn to Barack Oblama.

Yeah, who needs Larry Kudlow when we have Barack?

It’s safe to say that the economy is headed for recession, the only question is when.

Great point. By the same token, I can say with certainty that it’s going to rain ;-)

Who is this “Barack Oblama” of whom you speak. Is it possibly the candidate calling himself Barack Oblabba?

What a change from the Klinton era where the liberal MSM talked up the economy night and day.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
He must have recorded that before the October 166,000 new jobs report came out.

To: governsleastgovernsbest
According to several surveys of public opinion I track, a plurality of people believe we are in a recession. Not far behind is the percentage of people who believe in UFOs.

Its safe to say that the economy is headed for recession Higher than expected job growth belies your magisterial pronouncement. so your saying the economy will never see a recession?

I can’t stand to watch Lauer no matter what he’s doing. He is the epitome of smarmyness, and my stomach turns whenever I see him on the tube.

I thought I recognized that voice. He must be the one who sings the line “I’m gonna add some bottom,
so that the dancers just won’t hide” in the song “Dance to the Music.”

Matt is just trying to get him to say something stupid for Hilliary's sake.
