QuoteObama: U.S. rescued from economic disaster
By BEN FELLER • Associated Press • August 7, 2009

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is welcoming an improved national employment report, saying his administration has "rescued our economy from collapse."

In an appearance on the White House Rose Garden, Obama applauded a Labor Department report earlier today saying that the jobless rate declined to 9.4% from 9.5% a month earlier.

But he said much more needs to be done and that he won't rest until "every American that is looking for a job can find one."

Obama said, "We have a steep mountain to climb and we started in a very deep valley."


Happy days are here again.   :)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

He may not be more competent, but at least Obama is politically astute enough not to fly onto an aircraft carrier with that message.  ;)
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I like that the AP calls this article: White House still warns of 10 percent jobless rate

Apparently he can do something even more remarkable: reduce unemployment 6 months after taking office in the worst economic crisis since WWII. :)

Good news, the unemployment rate has dropped, even if only by a small amount, it's the right direction and hopefully it keeps going that way.    :)

:lmfao:

The recent job loss statistics are just evidence that the recession is desperate and on its last legs.

For the record, I didn't doubt Obama's economic abilities for one second.  I think it's a well known fact that it takes five months before the new president can start having an effect on the economy, and we've seen proof of it again.

I never once doubted his ability to take credit for the eventual recovery.   :)
