“The economy is weak”
Yeah, no sh#t, Sherlock!
And the Pope is Catholic
And bears sh#t in the woods
And the sun rises in the East

Blivovation CYA prognostications already coming out of the weenie Obama Administration.

Cut ALL capital gains, zero corporate taxes, drill baby drill, and watch the economy turn around in 3 months.

But No.We all have to pretend we are socialists for 4 years before we can chuck these idiots out of the White house?

I can't stand soup lines either. .Guess I will have to go to gardening and canning.

The White House's top budget official declared on Sunday that "fundamentally, the economy is weak" while saying the administration's own financial predictions could need a revision by midyear.

“Orszag defended the administration’s stark assessment of the economy, arguing that honesty would matter more than spin.”

Uuuummmmm...Good morning Mr. Orszag, it is “the one’s” honesty that has caused the economy to go into it’s tail spin — stop getting all liquored up on the idea of taking other peoples money and you will see business re-invest, jobs come back, and the market turn around...that my friend is the biggest no brainer in the history of the earth. Stop talking and “Get-er-done!”

Maybe Obama should take another vacation or something. All the hard work he's doing.

Blake: That watch cost more than your car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see, pal, that’s who I am. And you’re nothing...

A gift for understatement.

The economy is “weak”. No, the economy is “trashed”.
