Goolsbee in his own words: "In the year 2010 which is when most of the clips when the president was saying we were going to grow again. We were growing and over that 17 months we added two-and-a-half million jobs.
"Now, at the beginning of this year we get earthquakes, tsunamis, revolutions in the Middle East, European financial crises, now they even have earthquakes out of Washington, D.C.

But, I think it's a little -- I don't think you want to confuse something that is way down and starting to grow out."

Elementary school girls don’t whine like this bunch.
My GOD in heaven, I’ve NEVER in my life seen anyone so unwilling to accept responsibility for anything like this administration. Please, please tell me people in this country won’t be so damn stupid as to reelect this moron.
Sure, Japanese car sales slowed down. But why didn’t Americans buy US or Euro cars?
Anrthony Sanders at George Mason Unoiversity pointed out that the housing bubble was really a credit bubble. And once a credit bubble bursts, you have a dead recovery until we get over the addiction to cheap debt. But credit is still tight. THAT, Austan you Marxist twerp, is the REAL reason.

I can’t wait until they blame Irene. It will not be long before the lies and whining start.
There are people stupid enough to vote for him again.
