Obama takes credit for Recession Recovery
The man must indeed be a miracle worker – with only 6 months in office, he has taken credit for the “recovery.” He also carefully points out that it’s not “his” recession (emphasis mine)
“Today, I’d like to talk with you about a subject that I know is on everyone’s mind, and that’s the state of our economy. Yesterday, we received a report on our Gross Domestic Product. That’s a measure of our overall economic performance. The report showed that in the first few months of this year, the recession we faced when I took office was even deeper than anyone thought at the time. It told us how close we were to the edge.
But it also revealed that in the last few months, the economy has done measurably better than expected. And many economists suggest that part of this progress is directly attributable to the Recovery Act. This and the other difficult but important steps that we have taken over the last six months have helped put the brakes on this recession.”
He’s also getting bolder about revealing his Socialist agenda:
“I also want to make sure that we don’t return to an economy where our growth is based on inflated profits…”
