WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is being forced to acknowledge the wide gap between its once-upbeat predictions about the economy and today's bleak landscape.
The administration's annual midsummer budget update is sure to show higher deficits and unemployment and slower growth than projected in President Barack Obama's budget in February and update in May, and that could complicate his efforts to get his signature health care and global-warming proposals through Congress.
The release of the update - usually scheduled for mid-July - has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news at least until Congress leaves town on its August 7 summer recess. ...

Obama is no better than Sylvia Browne when it comes to economic predictions.

The administration is pressing for votes before then on its $1 trillion health care initiative, which lawmakers are arguing over how to finance.
Let's hold off on releasing the bad economic news until congress votes on a bill that will make the economy even worse. 0Bama and his minions know that support for government intrusion into healthcare is falling. More bad news about the economy will further erode that support. Transparent administration, my ass. He wants to keep everyone in the dark and ram his left wing agenda through with as little debate as possible.

And they seriously think that economic/finance reporters across the spectrum can avoid having to talk about this and then having to draw the only obvious conclusion...?

I guess they think that the press is so in the tank for them that it won't be highlighted. They could be right. :(

Credibility and accuracy of prognostication actually matters a whole lot more to the financial press than it does to the touchy-feely human interest insubstantial reporting that makes up the remainder of the MSM.

Perhaps vanity and arrogance got in the way of that insight then. Maybe the bloom is about to come off 'hopey changeyness'. :-)

This statement couldn't be any more correct. So much for 'transparency' .. Actually -- what Obama is doing is entirely transparent to anyone paying attention.

But not the way the Obots want it to look.

You are right, but the good news is that Congress won't vote on health care until after Labor Day, apparently. That should make things interesting.

Now, a "key committee" has postponed voting on the healthcare bill indefintely, since they didn't have enough votes. That won't work with this budget, though, the numbers will have to be made public pretty soon.
So Congress is about to go on recess again? Ought to be interesting matching the members interact with the public now.
