Or the fact that there are more hungry families around, if you don’t believe it look at the empty upscale restaurants and then look at the mobs in the fast food joints. Or that more than a few people can’t remember what the inside of a shopping mall looks like and panic when they misplace a dollar off coupon when they are on line at the supermarket. Joblessness is at what they say is 9.6 percent, but if you add in all the people that have given up on trying to find a job, and who have just dropped out of the labor force, and who have retired because of this then the Joblessness rate is more like 16 percent. Put that along with the 25 percent of homeowners who owe more than their hones are worth and are losing their homes or can't sell their homes and your'll find a hell of a lot of people who will argure like hell with you about the the Recession i being over! It seems to me that this is the only economy I know where they say the recession is over with and the unemployment rate continuing to go up. Although the Recession has formally ended in Obama's mind, ask the store owner in the strip mall why he is thinking of closing his doors,
and ask the mother of 2-3 kids why she is buying less or cheaper food. Even a night out at the movies with a pizza afterwards seems like an luxury. And ask the home owner why he stopped hiring people to do things for him and is now doing it himself, like gardening, and cleaning his pool, or painting his house. And ask the Car Dealer how business is.
Strip malls have become vacant, for sales signs on homes all over the road are visible to everyone everywhere and the teleprompter-in-chief is going to tell us that the recession has been over for over a year! I can hear Bush giving a great sigh of relief from here. We are STILL in a we are in a Recession/depression and it is not over by any means . And lets face it, like him or not, he has lost touch with Americans. So the questioned is, are you better off today then you were 2 years ago? Did this “Hope and Change” work for you? Can you last another 2 years? Of course you are entitled to your own opinion but I disagree if you say yes to any of the above questions. . Or if you tell me that Obama and the rest of the democrats are not the problem but it was Bush’s fault. No this Obama dude is nothing but bad news. Sure we had problems when Bush was president. However things were not in the sewer as they are today. As soon as Obama got together with Pelosi and Reid everything went South including the prestige of America. presidents problems. But this president said he would fix it. Just the opposite happened / It got worse.. Come on folks..Yall know what’s going on here with this press release. It’s as old as politics itself. The Obama administration put this out band-aid announcement to try to the stop bleeding just before the elections with some “Good News”. The Recession is over? Give me a break. Some folks are just stuck on stupid.
