WASHINGTON – Buoyed by good news on the jobs front, the White House claimed credit Sunday for reversing the downward economic spiral while bracing out-of-work Americans for a slow recovery.
The Obama administration also eased away from confrontation with China over its artificially low currency. The U.S. wants to encourage Beijing's help on nuclear proliferation and new penalties against Iran for its perceived attempts to build a bomb.
Given the depth and length of the recession, the White House wants to cool expectations of a rapid economic recovery before the November elections that will determine whether Democrats retain control of the House and Senate.
The administration's line is that there's steady, if slow, progress in repairing the economic ruin President Barack Obama repeatedly blames on his predecessor, Republican George W. Bush.

Darned inconsiderate of those still unemployed for not finding jobs during this recovery.
It will be our turn in November. We’ll have the opportunity to put a bunch of politicians out of work.

I am not a trained democrat party economist, but I am guessing the “Stimulus” bill is not going to prevent the Bush inherited 5% unemployment from going to 8% as promised.
They’re soooooo poor that that they all seem to have satellite TV.
nice satellite dish...
but the Bush “economic ruin” was almost completely due to the TARP
which the Washington Post last week wrote was a success
We know times are tough. A lot of you are out of work.
That’s why we’re raising your taxes and requiring you to buy healthcare.
Have a nice day. :)
Bouyed by good news on the job front, Obama braces the unemployed for bad news on the job front.
Check what you buy in a shopping center and you will know why we have endless unemployment in our future.
Like we need someone to prepare us for the “slow recovery.” What recovery? *Spit*

I thought Obama was going to stay home on Easter...his presence at church would be too distracting, or some horse pucky.
I should have known. He wouldn’t miss an opportunity for some shameless self-promotion.
Now that the ship of state has struck the trillion dollar Obama iceberg and is headed into the depths of the sea, the MSM finds good news in the fact that it isn't sinking as rapidly as some feared.
I’ll bet it’s hooked up to a big screen tv, complete with top of the line speakers.
Yeah, and if you look real close you can see a wire tapped-off the line and running under the balcony to the apartment below. I’m sure the salellite company set it up that way!
From what I read recently, so is high-speed internet connection.
Is this a great country, or what?
