Joe Weisenthal of Business Insider has assembled a 24-slide show to illustrate what President Obama meant when he infamously said the private sector is "doing fine." Below are the three key graphs. They don't change the fact that, obviously, the private sector has a ways to go before its recovery is complete. But they're powerful enough to make me wonder: What if Obama, rather than just try to walk back his unfortunate choice of words, trotted out some visual aids and spent 60 seconds explaining exactly what he meant? 'Professorial' can be a feature, not a bug.

Its ridiculous. The private sector has been doing fine for over a year now.....almost two. Ask RW. They are not hurting. However, what they are not doing is hiring. In the meantime, the public sector is shrinking and people continue to be layed off.

Its the doublespeak of 1984. Frequently in this country, the conversation is upside down and Americans are misled as to what the truth is. I am sorry that Obama walked back his comments.
