Trade deficit narrows in June
Gap contracts to $56.8 billion, surprising economists who expected an increase.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The U.S. trade deficit contracted in June, according to a government report released Tuesday, surprising economists who expected an increase.

The Commerce Department reported that imports exceeded exports by $56.8 billion, down from a revised $59.2 billion in May.

Economists had expected the gap to widen to $61.9 billion, according to a consensus estimate compiled by Briefing.com.

Exports in June were $164.4 billion, up $6.4 billion or 4.1% from $158 billion in May.

Fay Johnson, a statistician with the U.S. Census Bureau, said this month's exports are the highest in the nation's history, topping the last record set in May.

someone needs to tell The BarackStar! that running against bush probably isn't an automatic winner;  at some
point, he has to be in favor of something concrete.  something less vapid than "change", "healing", "unity", and
"yes, we can".     yes, we can WHAT, exactly?

yes we can tax you harder and provide less benefit

yes we can allow terrorism to run wild again ala Bubba Clinton

yes we can run a perfectly good superpower into the ground
