Someone really needs to learn to spell "depression", they keep mis-spelling it as "recession"

It has been FINALLY decided on by economists that the country is in recession and has been since December, 2007!

It took them a year to determine what everyone else knew was a fact for over a year!

Naturally, the Great Emperor Bush II still does NOT believe that the country is in a recession, let alone a DEPRESSION that many of us "ignorant, average" citizens are now saying. Like his father before him back in 1992, the Great Emperor Bush II refuses to admit his neocon Ferengi "dribble down" economics DOES NOT WORK!

There must be a defective gene in the Bush physiology that makes them all so STUPID! Perhaps it is a virus that infects others to be equally stupid to vote anyone named BUSH into any kind of political office!

SIG HEIL, I MAY BE STUPID, BUT I''M SITTING ON A PILE OF YOUR MONEY!!!, BUSH!!!

Attention all stupid liberals, as the article states, we are at the end of the Bush boom business cycle. We will not actually enter a recession until Jan 21st, when everything is in the demoRats hands.

Can''t take any more of those REPUBLISCUM BOOM BUSINESS CYCLES, we''ll all end op destitute

Civil unrest just doesn''t happen that easily in a country like China, where people are used to living under repressive rule for eons.

Duh !! This is according to a panel of academic economists? More like academia nuts. When you send nuts to school you get over-educated idiots. The general public has known and felt the recession the entire year, maybe because they don''t have the income and perks of these "economists"?

"Is this part of the concerted effort I believe is under way to make the Economy appear worse than it is, so that Obama can claim credit for the quick turn around? I just wonder."

No, it''s just the truth of boosh incompetence.
And you are thinking Obama conspiracy? Get help.

Mission Accomplished.

Don''t worry people. The jobs will come back... in China or some other country. If you live in the U.S., well, good luck.

I happily voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 and would gleefully do so again without thinking. He has no blame in the mess we are in today which is squarely in Obamas corner. How can you liberals possibly blame President Bush?

Posted by lady_organs at 01:57 PM : Dec 01, 2008

You should put something at the end to indicate that you are putting people on here OR everyone will think you have lost your mind! ROFLMAO I guess "Trickle Down" didn''t work.. YET AGAIN huh?

Obviously you did it the first two times without thinking, why not a third.

You are trying to make something out of nothing. Who cares about hair splitting textbook definitions. The facts are the economy sucks. The president ,whether right or wrong takes the blame and/or the credit for the economy. Bush is in office. He gets the blame. It is really in bad shape no matter what yard stick you want to use. Try being less paranoid.

All together - We should condemn Ex-Texas Senator Phil Graham. He created the legislation that placed the fox in charge of the hen house and spear-headed deregulation to the point that corporations could corrupt theirself into severe red numbers.

Remember Enron? Phil Graham (both of Texas)

Every patriot in this country should have a photo of Phil Graham framed with a toilet seat for this economic mess. He was President Bush''s economic advisor.

Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson,Ronald Reagan and George Bush followed Phil Graham''s economic ideaology and it failed the country miserably!!

Deregulation sucks!!! Airlines, telecoms, credit banks, mortgage finance, automakers....barely alive, and begging for more, while sending the worker to the unemployment line.
