Take for example this article:

Retail sales drop for first time in 5 months!! WOOHOO!!

What they bury in the article:
“Excluding the big drop in autos, retail sales would have posted a 0.4 percent INCREASE.”

I thought they said the tax rebates were to be spent on gas, food, and survival gear as the world was coming to an end?!

…that is until Obama gets elected of course.
Then he’ll inherit Bush’s 5.5% unemployment rate, 2% inflation rate, and 6% interest rates — THEN Democrats will say all those rates are just faaaaaaantastic!
HEY CJ: REmember when Clinton boasted 5.8% unemployment was GREAT! Why is 5.5% under Bush so bad?!
Oh and FYI: It was less than 5% up to a few months ago!
