"considerable way to go"

.
Ben Bernanke says the economy has a "considerable way to go".
.
Well, that's odd. His boss, Mr. Ospenda, says we're doing great and that the Porkulus worked.
.
Now I'm no Rhodes Scholar, like Clinton, nor a Ivy League grad like Mr. Ospenda, but when one guy says, "all is well", and another guy says, "it didn't work yet!", somebody is totally full of crap! And looking around at the economy, with new jobs still MIA, houses still not selling, foreclosures still going up, new car sales in a slump, blah, blah, blah, and as much as it pains me to pick either of these morons as being right, I'm backing Bernanke.

UPDATE minutes later
.
U.S. Economy Is Increasingly Tied to the Rich
.
And all this time I was looking for a job, working for a middle-aged minority woman, you know, someone on welfare, living in the PJs, raising her grandchildren because her kids are in jail and her husband is gone. But it's people WITH money who buy things and spur the economy first!! Imagine my surprise, finding out now that it doesn't work the other way!
.
WaPo must have been hard up for filler this weekend..
.
AND Another,
.
Obama's economic team exhausted
.
I guess "spinning" the economics news and lying about it for 18 months is hard work?

This is nothing. Between now and the Nov. midterms, we should expect to see (and hear) reality being twisted and manipulated like never before. It's the only chance the Demoncrats have to stay in control. It's also something they do on a daily basis, so this won't be a big stretch for them. It's also an opportunity for us to see if our fellow citizens have the mental strength and capacity to understand what's really going on. And that's the part that truly scares me.

I'm expecting an assassination attempt and they'll name GWB as the shooter!

And silly liberals continue to believe everything that comes out of the Liar-n-Chief's pie-hole.

Yes indeedie; the lying leading the sick.

Just like Socialism of old. Same story, different century.
