WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama insisted Friday that the U.S. economy is digging itself out of the deepest recession in decades but conceded that "progress has been painfully slow" and many voters in November's elections may blame him.

Facing a rising jobless rate, Obama told a White House news conference: "For all the progress we've made, we're not there yet. And that means people are frustrated and why people are angry."

"Because I am president, and the Democrats have control of the House and Senate, it's understandable that people are saying, 'What have you done?'"

The president, who also is the leader of the Democratic Party, spent much of his appearance before cameras on the defensive, underscoring his frustration with being unable to convince the public that his economic fixes are working.

These nit wit reporter’s title to this article uses the word “may” deceptively I believe.

‘They’ may blame him as in Obama is giving permission to voters to blame him therefore taking responsibilty...I highly doubt it!

It looks like they took Obama’s words out of context as it looks like Obama meant they may blame him but........ Bush, Elmer Fudd, Sam Hill and others did it.

Obamao and his policies are failures. The harder he tries, the worse things will get. His new oaf act isn’t going to go over very well. He should lay off the crack.

In a nutshell this is why we have a moron as president. One does not dig their way out of hole, one climbs out of hole.

Dear Mr. ZERO.

You and the DUMocrats OWN the Economy. AND you have OWNED IT since 2007.

Ya think???

We said no health care, no new taxes, no cash for clunkers, no GM, no muzzies near WTC site. We said to drill, to use our forests not watch them burn, to go for the coal....

What ever happened to "We the people??"

Worst President ever....
