Unexpectedly!
As megablogger Glenn Reynolds, aka Instapundit, has noted with amusement, the word "unexpectedly" or variants thereon keep cropping up in mainstream media stories about the economy.
"New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly climbed," reported CNBC.com May 25.

Twenty-three million unemployed and under employed.I wonder
how they’ll vote?
The media believes anything/everything this administration tells them....even when their eyes & the facts tell them otherwise. Sadly, I know far too many people who also believe the lies. They believe that gas prices will come back down; that there is a recovery and; that Arab spring equates to movements toward democracy.
All part of the strong delusion....
Well done!
Ironic, good economy under Pres. Bush, unemployment around 5%, $2.50/gal. gas and all we heard was ‘worst economy since the Depression’
O’Bama’s economy at 9% ( realistically over 12%) unemployment, empty houses everywhere, gas hovering around $4/gal., and all we hear is ‘ improving economy, on the rebound’.
The MSM snakes at work.
And there still blaming Bush.
"BRICK WALL COMING "UNEXPECTEDLY" SOON!"
"I work in the financial markets. Wall Street is so drunk on bailouts, stimulus, and Fed quantitative easing that they have no perception of risk. Last week, when BOTH unemployment claims rose and GDP (economic) growth were revised "unexpectedly" lower to a weak 1.8%, Wall Street ignored both, threw a Pollyanna Party, and rose 70 points. Who cares about bad news when Obama and the Fed are borrowing and pumping $6 billion a day into the stock market? After all, we have PRINTED prosperity now! But it is all a mirage, and the time is rapidly approaching when that mirage will evaporate into thin air!"
"Both fiscal and monetary easy money have created little growth, but staggering debt. We're growing our debt at 11.5% per year, and our economy is barely limping along at paltry growth of just 1.8% per year as of two weeks ago! Our debt is growing more than 6 times faster than our economy! We're a bug looking for a windshield!"
"The day is rapidly approaching (experts are saying 2 years, maybe 3 TOPS) when the debt will overwhelm us, both the bond and stock markets will crash, and all entitlements will come to an abrupt and "unexpected" end. There is coming what David Stockman recently said will be a "vicious selloff" in the bond markets, and this time, the government will NOT be able to fix things. US Government debt is now the Mother of all Bubbles, and everyone is gleefully praying for a miracle while playing a game of musical chairs in which they all expect to be the first one to find a seat when the music stops. When that day happens, it's going to be everyone running for the exit in a crowded theater when someone yells "fire", and there really IS one! There will be blood on both Wall Street and Main Street!"
"The Obama Administration and the complicit mainstream media are hoping that they can get Obama reelected before we hit the brick wall and reality becomes "unexpectedly" undeniable! It's a race against time and reality. We can not defy the laws of sound economics forever!"
"It is going to be very ugly when that day inevitably comes, and it isn't going to be several decades or years away. It's going to happen "unexpectedly" soon!"
When they go back up... and they will... there is nothing going on to lower them and everything that is being done will ensure higher energy prices in all energy sectors... people will become even more angry because the lies will be exposed again and again.
“that there is a recovery”
That lie is coming unraveled with every new jobs report and every new unexpectedly worse economic performance announced. You cannot tell a person who has no job and has a family that is hungry... owes everyone... has lost their home or car... and have no prospects for improvement... that Unicorns are spewing Skittles.
“that Arab spring equates to movements toward democracy.”
Let's see... obama has declared war on Israel (which is what he has actually done)... we read every day about scores being killed in Syria... palis blowing up rockets and bombs and it will increase now that Egypt has given iran a way to funnel more weaponry into the Israel... bombs killing pakis by the hundreds... muslim regimes in Africa murdering on the wholesale level and we read that obamao is dismantling our Military and considering cutting the pay of front line Troops as well as that of all Military personnel.
Be strong of heart and have faith... the prince of lies is backing obama and the dims... islam worships him under another name... GOD is not pleased and we have been blessed with the book that tells us how this will all eventually end.
GOD gave us free will... and we must use that Free Will to fight evil and never give up. So never give up and have faith... you are not alone... we are 10’s of millions in this Nation and billions upon billions world wide... and our side is ordained and destined to win. Praise GOD and may GOD bless America... and know that obama and the dims and their allies are NOT America. The Federal government is not America... but WE THE PEOPLE are.

Well written and highly inspirational.

Sadly, about half the population has abrogated that gift/responsibility to the government.
All due credit goes to FReeper 'dead'.
True... about half the Nation are lazy marxists... the vast majority of those are so ignorant of facts that they do not realize that they have embraced America’s slide into communism... but choose to be a 3 percenter... because 97% of Colonials were fine with British iron rule... but 3% made FREEDOM happen... and I am a 3 percenter and I would rather be DEAD than RED.

Cue Inconceivable Guy!
I don’t recall Obummer speaking about the economy much at all of late. Its a bad topic for him now and that why all we hear about is the middle east.
Bush, unemployment around 5%,...4%. Let’s be accurate.
The half who have not abrogated that responsibility is sufficient.
It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.
Samuel Adams
But here we are with The Great Spreader presiding over a disastrous economy and still blaming his predecessor for all his own shortcomings. The Pubbie nominee in 2012 will have to make the case for slashing spending and unleashing business from the stranglehold of liberal-leftism Obama has put on it.
