President answers questions from msnbc.com readers, NBC News

Quote
President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the economy had stabilized and was beginning a slow recovery, telling NBC News in an exclusive interview that it was now his job to “make sure that ordinary people have some relief.”

Speaking with Chuck Todd, NBC’s chief White House correspondent and political director, Obama answered questions about the economy, health care and unemployment benefits that were submitted this week by readers of msnbc.com.

...

In recent days, the administration has pointed to economic indicators that it says suggest the economy is slowly beginning to recover. For Obama, the challenge is to connect directly with Americans to persuade them to remain optimistic while they wait for that recovery to take hold.

“Obviously, the unemployment rate is still elevated,” he said in the interview. But “you have seen the economy stabilize.”

Still, Obama acknowledged that many Americans were unhappy with the pace of recovery under his $788 billion economic stimulus program, saying the frustrations of people like Jennifer Holderread of Elkhart were “legitimate.”

1. I'll believe it when employment is a healthy 95%
   
And you don't have people with degrees competing for entry level fast food jobs.

The Ordinary People, as he so lovingly refers to us as, have seen times get worse and worse, all throughout the Propaganda Blitz to try to Brainwash us into thinking otherwise that started on March 10th, with Citi telling us about their Phantom Profits that didn't exist, and this Manipulated, Fake, Stock Market Bubble that has been presented to us as God's Superior Indisputable Evidence that a Recovery is afoot.

BULLSHIT, Mr. President.

You may be much smarter, much more human than the last dictator was, but some of us are just not going to fall for it anymore.

Stop Lying.

And while you're at it, get rid of Ben, Tim, and the rest of the criminals and get some people that actually want to serve the interests of WE THE PEOPLE, not Goldman Sachs.

The DUmmies don't realize that positive reporting are a needed part of any recovery, just as much as loads of negativity help to drive the economy downward.  (I still think he's wrong, and it hasn't bottomed out yet.)

No way has the economy bottomed out yet.  Not even close.

Maybe it has.  Maybe it hasn't.  One thing for sure, Obama is the last guy in the world I'd take as a definitive source on it.

I haven't really seen many signs of recovery yet. My work load is down 35% from last year at this time. If you compare it to 2006 (the year the dems began the destruction of the country) it is down over 45%. My savings is slowly disappearing. I'm nearing the point of living week to week. OMG!!! Are they turning me into one of them?

RUR-ROH, I agree with a DUmmy...which smells of mole trap.

You are exactly right, regardless of whether business is rising, falling, or flat.

Well, that's a no-shitter.  The economy might survive a watered-down, semi-neutered health bill, but cap-and-trade would completely shoot it in the ass.

I believe that is EXACTLY what he is after! He knows the more people he can put on the government tit, the more likely he can pass this shit and keep the DemonRats, including himself, in power!

The One can't wait to have his 'Mission Accomplished' moment, can he ? Declaring victory while running from a war, or declaring victory ahead of schedule during a war is foolish, but neither affects the common man as much as an economy thats continuing to collapse. How does one run away from that, or shield the average person so he/she doesn't know they just lost their job ?

Even Lord Rove would have a difficult time making this a reality. And he wields dark magic stolen from the ancients.

economy has stabilized ....The Obama economy is like an olympic diver, he walks out onto the platform, gets stabilized, stands there a few seconds... and then takes a great dive.
