Economy Happy days are here again
Posted By Max Brantley on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 10:05 AM
Many headlines this morning on the official finding that the recession, which began in December 2007, ended in June 2009 and the economy, though not back to normal, is recovering. It's the longest recession on record. The last five months were Obama's fault. The previous 18 were, of course, Bill Clinton's fault. That's why everyone will be voting Republican this year, hoping to restore the glory days of George W. Bush. (sarcasm alert)
By the way: Colin Powell cheers President Obama's accomplishments, though says he may not have communicated them very well.
