I like the facts, History proves the congress is always LATE ,
it is good news , so now that we know that things are on the mend, lets all call congress and the white house, and tell them to hold off on this second plate of pork.  lets hold off on spending this $ 738,000,000,000.00  + .

He didn't say he disliked the good news. He was just rolling his eyes at the "GOBAMA" part, cause a retard with a tumor for half a brain should still be able to figure out that Barack had nothing to do with the good news. ;)

If it had been bad news then, of course, he would be completely responsible and we would be wading through a dozen threads decrying socialism and how Obama is destroying our economy.

Of course, those would be posted by highly intelligent observers of the political climate instead of "retards with a tumor for half a brain".

That is provided that President Obama gets us out of those "free trade" deals.
That would help things greatly!
We need to contact our senators and congressmen and start putting the pressure on about getting us out of "Nafta." That cost us millions of good paying manufacturing jobs!

Tax refunds. Uh-huh. Hell, the 1099s just finished being mailed out. Tax refunds. The article says shoppers were snapping up post-holiday discounted goods.

Tax refunds.

Status: offline 		the jobless claims may be a result of this http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/02/11/AR2009021104311.html  not the fact the economy is improving....  there is no quick fixes,   this is process that will take 2 maybe 3 years to see real results

Status: offline 		Economics isn’t just sales figures, housing statistics, etc.  There is an undeniable psychological component.  People make their decisions based upon their perception of reality.  If they think the economy is going to get worse they begin withholding their money (saving it for a rainy day, so to speak), leading to a decrease in the demand for products and services (which in turn leads to job loss).  If they think things are improving then they tend to spend/invest more freely, leading to an increase in the demand for products and services (and hence more jobs).  There are people on these boards who are convinced that we are headed for a depression.  I won’t rule out the possibility of a depression but it is by no means a sure thing.  If we do have a depression it will be due in large part to we as a nation psyching ourselves into it.  Whether President Obama is doing the right or wrong things – while certainly not irrelevant – is not nearly relevant as whether or not people believe he will make things better.

Maya, do you have the name or another link for that article? The one posted is not working.
