Krauthammer: Economic Metrics Indicate 'Fear,' Meaning 'Party in Power has No Chance Whatsoever'

Better strap in because we could be on a wild ride if what some economic prognosticators are saying is true - not just on a financial market basis, but politically as well.

Noted economist Nouriel Roubini has upped his forecast the economy could head into a double-dip recession. And CNBC "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer is predicting mass panic in the markets after tomorrow's gross domestic product report tomorrow. So based on a lot of this, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer suggested that economic fears have returned to the public. He was asked by Fox News Channel's "Special Report" host Bret Baier what all the negative data meant.

"Historically high and number of unemployed for more than six months also historically very, very high," Krauthammer said on the Aug. 26 broadcast of "Special Report." "I think there is something new happening in terms of the economy, at least the perception of it and that is a return of fear."

The Baraqqis screwed it up so badly they over-rode the natural economic cyclic trend to recover from 2008.

Business has gone Galt.

Democrats are going home (hopefully) in January.

In nov 2008 with the market crashing Obummer come outta nowhere & promised the people implied STABILITY & PROSPERITY with the banner of Hope & Change.

In reality what oBummer has delivered is the most corrupt & inept govt the county has ever seen while foisting a series hugely unpopular socialist programs onto a already overtaxed society which is driving the country into even more uncertainty and instability.

The average American KNOWS how riled up; their friends, coworkers, family and neighbors are with this administration and congress. If elections were held this in two days (this Tuesday), these progressive marxists, voters of programs and stimulus packages no one wanted, tax-raisers and economy destroyers would be unemployed much more quickly.

We’re just too stupid to understand. Obama needs to get on TV and make speeches about this until the ‘prompter melts down!

I have never been more motivated to oust these communists. I try social networking to inform people etc

I signed up to do poll watching for the gop in nov and plead with everyone to do the same.

I know the gop is flawed but if we can at least take back the house we can slow down the communists.and prepare for 2012 and elect sarah or thune.

The Obamas will literally spend the next two years flipping off the entire country.

I agree. Obama is not nearly as smart as clinton and will go into turtle mode.
