Bush's message on economy takes beating....

[xyboymil]

President Bush’s election-year message that the economy is strong and “getting stronger” is being shaken by a three-pronged assault of weak employment growth, higher oil prices and a slumping stock market.

“It allows Kerry to say with some justification that the recovery may be sputtering and that the job market is very soft,” said Greg Valliere, chief strategist of Schwab Washington Research Group. “A lot of people thought when he was saying that earlier in the summer that he was a Cassandra, that he was exaggerating things. But now he can make both those claims.”

4. When people have something to risk, the lies won't hold up.

Some right wingers will regurgitate anything Bush says even though they know it is a lie, just to support him but when they put their money on the line, the lie never becomes the truth.

5. I'm sure the numbers will be better next month.

Not the jobs just the numbers Bush's team puts out.

7. "he was a Cassandra, that he was exaggerating things"

Good GAWD! Get some education, dumbass! Cassandra didn't exaggerate anything! She completely accurately predicted the future - her curse was that no one would LISTEN!
