From today's political commentary:
Washington Times - 'Doom' talk scored as 'not presidential'
A quote:
Quote:
Every president must walk a rhetorical tightrope when talking about the economy, a lesson Mr. Bush learned quickly, being bashed just after taking office for delivering somber news. The United States was just entering a mild recession - it had been in one, it turns out, for about nine months - and the new president said so.
Liberals went berserk.
"Every time we turn around, this guy is bad-mouthing the economy. Is that lifting our spirit or dumping on it in order to sell his tax cut?" liberal comentator Bill Press said on CNN.

Something the Libs like to overlook - that revered "Clinton economy" was well on the skids well before Bush was even on the Presidential horizon - and while it's considered bad taste for bush to refer to a weakening economy - most of our liberal media and their readers are so far looking the other way when O does it...
He may try to whitewash the henhouse - but he can't keep the chickens from coming home to roost. Our current financial meltdown was well in progress BEFORE Bush hit office and was well fueled by group effort all across party lines...
SO, who's "dumping" on us now, to sell their great Stimulus Bill?
