Romney: Obama Is 'Out of Touch'1:33 PM, Jun 8, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
Earlier today, President Obama assured American that "the private sector is doing fine." Now, Republican Mitt Romney has responded by saying that the president is "out of touch."
"Now this morning, the president had a press conference. I don’t know if you heard it, but he called a press conference and pulled people in and said a number of things, and one of the most interesting things he said was this: he said the private sector is doing fine. He said the private sector is doing fine," Romney said. "Is he really that out of touch?"
Romney continued: "I think he’s defining what it means to be detached and out of touch with the American people. Has there ever been an American president who is so far from reality as to believe in an America where 23 million Americans are out of work, or stopped looking for work, or can only find part-time jobs and need full-time jobs, where the economy grew in the first quarter of the year at only 1.9 percent, where the median income in America has dropped by 10% over the last four years, where there have been record number of home foreclosures, for the President of the United States to stand up and say the private sector is doing fine is going to go down in history. It's an extraordinary miscalculation and misunderstanding by a President who is out of touch, and we're going to take back this country and get America working again."

Another Bad Sign: Productivity Falls by .9 Percent1:06 PM, Jun 8, 2012 • By IKE BRANNON
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics announced that worker productivity fell by .9 percent in the first quarter of 2012. Some press and Obama sympathizers have blithely spun this as a good thing for the economy, making the rote observation that less productive workers mean that companies have "wrung all the productivity out of their current workforce" and will thus need to hire more workers soon. Nothing could be further from the truth, and its decline is a harbinger of worse economic news down the pike.
