It’s “absolutely clear” the U.S. economy is heading in the right direction, President Barack Obama said Thursday, amid fears that the economy had faltered.

Obama made his case during a visit to Missouri that his administration’s efforts, particularly through its signature $787 billion stimulus package, had staved off a second Great Depression and put the country on the path toward economic recovery.

“But what is absolutely clear is that we are headed in the right direction — and that the surest way out of these storms we’ve been in is to keep moving forward, not back,” the president said in prepared remarks set for delivery at Smith Electric Vehicles in Kansas City, Mo.

The event is part of the administration’s ongoing attempt to draw attention to jobs created by Recovery Act projects. Smith received a $32 million Recovery Act grant to build up to 500 electric trucks, part of the $2.4 billion in stimulus funds set aside for advanced battery and electric vehicle development.

This is the place he was speaking at in the posted article.

$64,000 per truck in recovery money, err, taxpayer money!!!

A freaking electric truck LOL.

I know a bit about the trucking business and I wonder just where and how these vehicles will be utilized.

It takes a LOT of power to move the amount of weights trucks carry.

Seems like a gigantic boondoggle

It is going in the right direction...for Obama, that is, since the goal is to destroy the US economy in order that a marxist dictatorship take the replace of the former Republic.

That chart says Clinton created 18,399,000 jobs. I suppose the tech boom and Y2K wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t President.

HOW MANY damn fundraisers has this MORON attended since the worst environmental disaster in America began? 5? 7? 10???

I am so pissed; if George W. Bush were touring the nation, LYING to the people about how GREAT things are economically (10% unemployment, for instance) AND the shores of our nation were being assaulted by OIL, the Hussein-fellating MEDIA would be screaming at the top of their lungs.
