>> And the next minute you say recessions are caused by advisers to presidential candidates.

Well, you have a point -- except that during a presidential campaign, you have the Democrats in a chronic mode of bashing the economy -- as a tool to winning the election. The result is an erosion of consumer confidence.

Hundreds of times daily you'll have this Democrat or that on TV and radio bashing the economy telling America they should be very scared.

We've seen this play out in the most recent election.

When did we start getting the "good news" about the economy? Within 14 days of Obama being criticized for being too negative, at which point he (and everyone else in his administration) started telling us how things were turning around.

Nothing was turning around. But he started telling people it was.

He simply forgot he was no longer campaigning. He had won. It was time to start sounding like the president rather than like a Democrat candidate. And presto. Now the economy is all great.

Now, the lying bastard is telling us he already created 150,000 jobs. An obviously, made up, outright lie.

But it is what America wants to hear.
