I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The Obama that will be running for president will be the Obama of late summer/fall of 2012, not the Obama of late winter/spring of 2012.
We’ll be in a completely different environment. The GM sales, caused by dealers massively bumping inventories, will be a distant memory. Gas prices, Greece defaulting along with other PIIGS related events. The lies about the economy being exposed, as reality allows them to age. It will be much, MUCH uglier by election time.
Which is why I’ve said, for two years now - and feel stronger about it today - that Obama will not finish his term. We are in the calm before the storm. A better analogy would be that we are in the eye of the storm, and it has greatly increased in power since we entered the eye.
Sounds about right.
And this gets to the root of why what we’ve been told is based on lies:

The Hedonics part is laughable. They really think we are stupid and, sadly, in most cases they may be right. Maybe “ignorant” is a better word though.
This is so depressing. I’m just getting back on my feet after the housing bubble burst (I was a finish carpenter and stair builder) and I am so worried that the economy will tank again and my sales will die. I am just a woodworker but I could fix this economy. It’s simple. Get the hell out of our way and let us do our thing. You are “equalizing” us to death.

former Rush advertisers!
What ... no “green shoots”??? :O
-——Like so many other temporary tax changes, the one-year tax break on capital purchases only accelerated capital purchases that would have taken place anyway. This tax break was a larger-scale version of Cash for Clunkers, and it had the same effect, which was to steal demand from future quarters, and that’s exactly what we have seen from both January reports.-——
I can’t take this anymore. Please, NO MORE IVY LEAGUE IDIOTS!
