President Barack Obama held a kitchen table summit to try to restore Middle America's sinking faith in his administration's ability to revive the lackluster US economy. The souring economy and stubbornly high unemployment have seen Obama's poll numbers slump to all-time lows and they are threatening to drag down his fellow Democrats in looming mid-term elections in November.
In the rustbelt city of Columbus, Ohio, Obama sat down with the Weithman family, who he said were typical of how Americans across the country were benefiting from his economic policies.

Thanks to an expansion of stop-gap medical coverage -- a key provision of his hard-fought health care reform bill -- Obama said she was able to "keep her health insurance at a time when the family was very much in need." What a crock, tell that to her, she is desperate!
How's that Hope and Change working out for you, Rhonda?

1) If the AnnointedIdiot's mouth is moving, he is lying. 2) His continuous moving of his lips DOES NOT create JOBS. 3) The AnnointedIdiot and his merry band of idiot-ridden goons know exactly what they are doing and in how they are purposely destroying this country to remake it....we are onto his following of the Cloward and Piven strategy. 4) Tarring and feathering is due. 5) Like $hit, this idiot will always remain an idiot. =.=

...try to restore Middle America's sinking faith in his administration's ability to revive the lackluster US economy. Isn't going to happen. The economy is driven by businesses large and small. hussein is a socialist and the most anti-business President we've ever had. (also the worst by far in any category you care to name) So there will be no economic recovery while a tax-and-spend socialist is in charge in the White House, and tax-and-spend socialists control Congress. We can (and God willing, will) take care of part of the problem this November. However, the lame-ducks will probably go out with a lot more damage to the economy and our liberties. Hopefully the GOP controlled Congress can hold the line against further losses until 2012 when we can get a new President in there. (paging Sarah Palin!)

Next summit will be officially titled the Kitchen Sink Summit. Check out the joke below. If good ol’ dave is making fun of him then I would say the dems are screwed.
Q: What was the most positive result of the “Cash for Clunkers”
program?
A: It took 95% of the Obama bumper stickers off the road.

There is a huge lesson here, for ALL those obamabots out there, AND for zero himself.
It can be found in the Bible. May not be an exact quote but “Put not your faith in Man, but in the Lord they God.”
That means ANY man!
No rational person puts faith in govt of all things.

How ironic is it that this scumbag Ubama now wants to “boost faith in US economic revival” after he and the rest of the rat litter spent eight years trashing the economy while Bush was president and unemployment was around 5%? Screw them... we are at the beginning of another great depression and we need to shout it to the heavens so people with a clue can hunker down and prepare.

Economic revival? Where?
U1-U6 is ...
U-1 Persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer, as a percent of the civilian labor force
U-2 Job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs, as a percent of the civilian labor force
U-3 Total unemployed, as a percent of the civilian labor force (official unemployment rate)
U-4 Total unemployed plus discouraged workers, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus discouraged workers
U-5 Total unemployed, plus discouraged workers, plus all other persons marginally attached to the labor force, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force
U-6 Total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force
NOTE: Persons marginally attached to the labor force are those who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently looking for work. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to settle for a part-time schedule. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the release of January data.

After ‘Stimulus Spring’ and Recovery Summer, it may be Relapse Fall. November can’t get here soon enough.
