OBAMAVILLE

Gett’n a head fake,
watchin' msn’s take;
All of their pundits oozing foul oil.
Clean’n my six gun on my front porch swing.
Felling my blood--
It’s beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know it's Obama’s fault.

There’s no rhyme or reason,
They are all commitin’ treason
With nothing to show but a brand new tax or two.
But they are real beauties,
Despotic duties, how they got passed
I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that it’s Bush we should blame,
Now I think,-- hell with them it’s Obama’s fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, but I just cruise on back home.
Because no medical care will the doctors render
They say there’s little service I can tender
And there’s no need for me to hang on.

Wasted away again in Obamaville
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that Bush is to blame,
And I know because of my vote it's my own damn fault damn fault.

The stimulus and everything this administration has done is working.... Yes working to create a totalitarian regime!

Don’t tell Biden;

2003 and 2004 economic growth levels surpassed Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates by 150 basis combined, resulting in $300 billion of additional growth, which is roughly $2,500 per household.

Employment, Jobs, and Productivity4

Though job creation was slow immediately following the recession and during the first stages of the recovery, it had increased dramatically by late 2002 and 2003.

1.4 million jobs were added in the nine months after August 2003 (the 2003 tax cuts were signed into law in late May 2003).

The unemployment rate remained steady at 5.6 percent in May 2004, well below its peak of 6.3 percent a year ago.

The Treasury Department estimates that without the tax relief, as many as 1.5 million more Americans would be out of work right now, and the unemployment rate would be well over 7 percent.

Looks like the Plunge Protection Team did indeed lose control of the Dow.

Looks like the PPT made an anemic effort towards the end of the day, but it was too little, too late.

Watch out for the manufacturing numbers next week. If they’re bad, that would go a long way towards confirming the fears of a double-dip recession.

Foreclosures up
Unemployment numbers barely changed
Manufacturing down
Credit still tight
Tax cuts expire soon

Summer of recovery marches on! /sarc

uh-oh.

‘tis slowing down the economic recovery?

[SunkenCiv]

...for the first time since early July a day ahead of an expected downward revision in U.S. second-quarter economic growth and a major speech by the Federal Reserve chairman.

A drop in the interest rate leads to a rally; this is one of those lessons about "buy on mystery, sell on history". Thanks Kartographer.

More Obama depression news. The O-pression for short.

Good lyrics.

Recovery Summer goes into Flatline Fall.
