More pro-Obama spin.

[Armando Guerra]

Compare consumer confidence to the election polls. As Romney’s numbers rose and it looked like he could win the consumer confidence rose too. Now that Obama won the numbers tanked. I am not surprised no matter how the press tries to spin it.

.....consumer confidence in the United States plummeted in December to its lowest level in four months.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan’s preliminary index on consumer sentiment dropped to 74.5 this month, sharply lower when compared to the 5-year high of 82.7 in November.

Well, yeah.....the country was more confident for the November index.
Most expected Mittens to win - when he didn't the consumer sentiment tanked with Mitten and Øbama voters and none voters
