CNBC ^ | 6/26/14 | Edward Morrissey

Posted on 06/26/2014 5:33:37 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

The word "unexpectedly" for negative economic reports has become a much-mocked cliché in the media over the past five-plus years of recovery, but this week's final look at first-quarter economic growth deserves an exception.

Rare truth in mainstream media. Ed is a fairly conservative writer, but at least CNBC is giving this analysis a platform.

The treasonous EXEMPT in Congress and the
mislabeled “journalists” in the PR-rep “LSM”
are enablers of this Obama-engineer DISASTER.

"Bush’s fault."

Modified version: It is the evil Republicans and the Tea Party's fault. If we (the Rats) only assume total control over everything, all will be fixed and the people will see the wisdom of giving the government the power of life and death.

That's what it is designed to do. Everything Ubama does is Cloward-Piven, but I have to admit that conspiring with Latin American leaders to collapse the US border was a stroke of genius. He really outdid himself on that one.
