It's official: U.S. in a recession since December 2007 - Dec. 1, 2008

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The National Bureau of Economic Research said Monday that the U.S. has been in a recession since December 2007, making official what most Americans have already believed about the state of the economy

.

Hear that you right wingers, the "Obama" recession began more than a full year before he was even sworn in!

I realize this won't stop the republicans from trying to pin this long and deep recession on Obama. But you have to wonder, why did it take NBER a full year before declaring what everyone knew, that we were neck deep in a recession...just how firm was the control that the Bush cabal had over the government and reports like GDP, Inflation, Unemployment? Makes you scratch your head and wonder what other numbers are "fixed."

These people are so disconnected from the condition of thier constituency that they would not know a recession until people are burning tires in the street!

Guess I'm late to the party. I just posted this on the "Crap Pile" thread...

It's not disconnection, Slim: It's deliberate, calculated deception. The compromised corporate media set out to mislead the public--with malice aforethought!--about the toxic nature of the Bush administration's financial agenda.

This is NOT incompetence, it is not stupidity...and most of all, it is NOT an accident.

It's premeditated Republican Grand Theft. It's what they do EVERY TIME one of them is elected to the White House. Remember that our current Oval Office embarassment DOUBLED out national debt...

C'mon, Skerlnik, you're smarter than THAT. You've also been told if you step on a crack you'll break your mother's back.

I assume your Mom's back is still okay...right?

And if you want to talk about Vast Conspiracies, I'm going to have to bring up Sun Myung Moon whose $3 BILLION Washington Times has ALWAYS lost money even though it's as devoted a rightwing rag as has ever been published...
