America is Back!, Newsweek declares this week.

Cover-story author Daniel Gross says the economy is making a strong comeback, defying the odds and surprising the naysayers. "The turnaround we've had since [Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy], while not completely satisfying, has been pretty remarkable," he tells Henry Blodget in the accompanying clip.

What a crock of bull.

Tell the millions that have lost their homes, are unemployed with no light at the end of the tunnel, that all is right with the world.

Obama hasn’t lifted a finger to help the economy recover. He has only focussed on paying for votes and reparations.

I can only imagine the pain that so many of our countryman have had to endure.

Now these lowlife politicians simply adjust the 10% unemployment to be the new norm, so everything is beautiful again.

It confounds me that we don’t see daily events of folks going completely postal.... those days may come.

America is back, all those jobs that are posted and companies are going under, and America is back. With the daydream green jobs the liberals are screaming about and AMERICA IS BACK.

WHAT A DARK DREAM!!

Does anyone read this junk any more? I mean, other than people looking for Democratic talking points? I suspect Newsweeks’ subscription base is medical offices.

Try Forbes. It’s a much better magazine.
