So we've gone from "Bush's Fault" to an act of God?

I heard a brief radio spot with some female economist spouting the "Japan theory" -- "strong economic headwinds" -- and knew in my bones the minute I heard it that this was a new meme from the administration.

Posted under foreign affairs because this administration IS a foreign affair.

That bump is a political challenge for the president, whose re-election in 2012 may depend on his ability to convince voters that his economic policies have been successful.

House pricing is in a double-dip erosion. When 0bama came into office, gas was $1.89/gal now it's nearly $4.00/gal. Food prices are through the roof.

That's what people will remember. It's all about the HOME, 0bama, and you've crapped all over mine.

I think the protestors and booing should start shortly.

I guess we should be thankful that Obama hasn’t blamed us for his failures but I guess that’s next!

I guess he figured the “Blame Bush” thing wore thin.

So now he’ll blame anyone else but himself.

So China steals what has amounted to trillions in intellectural property from US companies, manipulates its currency to create a trade embalance that is over 300 billion a year, and thus has resulted in the destruction of millions of US jobs, but Japan and Europe are the main culprits?

Nice try Zero, but only your lapdogs in the media and liberal friends will buy that.

"Even though our economy has created more than two million private sector jobs over the past 15 months and continues to grow . . ."

The truth simply isn't in him.

“”Lately, it’s high gas prices, the earthquake in Japan, and unease about the European fiscal situation. That will happen from time to time. There will be bumps on the road to recovery.”

The gas prices are a result of the falling dollar which is Obama’s doing by monetizing the debt. As for Europe and Japan causing us problems, they too are a reaction to the US insolvency.

And ... Huge CME and Solar Wind Gust has hit Earth's Magnetic Field....

Plus, it snowed in Yellowstone. And those tornadoes. And droughts. And wildfires.

So the solution is to cripple energy production here,

the earthquake in Japan,

Strange how dependent we are all of a sudden. Obama didn't have 9-11 to deal with.

and unease about the European fiscal situation.

Our "fiscal situation" doesn't make him nervous.

Yeah, let’s just go and piss off our allies.

But I thought the world would love us again after we got rid of that evil “Booooosh.”

President Obama is pointing to problems in Japan and Europe as challenges for the U.S. economy, placing some blame on events abroad for a domestic recovery that is showing signs of slowing down.

"Signs of slowing down"? WTF? Talk about a lapdog press - the bastard blows a hole in the bottom of the boat, and the frickin' MSM acts like a rocket's launch trajectory is slIghtly flattening out.

I don't know what's worse - the lies, or the absolute contempt for people's intelligence.

Or the fact that liberals actually believe this crap.
