Worst since recession and this going into midterms isn't the way to hold a Senate majority.

It will take major league incompetence for Republicans to not sweep Dems out of office this cycle.

So what you're saying is that you expect the Dems to hold the Senate, right? ;)

You call it incompetence, I call them spineless pussies....

Either way, I doubt we will be much better off with the current batch of spineless pussies that could potentially take the Senate.

While this number is huge, I'm sure the media and the administration have their shite together on how to spin it and what Republicans are to blame for it. Somehow I suspect Bush had something to do with this as well.

Listening to Clark Howard last night and he mentioned public optimism on the economy is highest in 7 years, personal financial wellbeing (perception) is very high, consumer spending is way up etc.

Too lazy to look up the data he was citing.

There were several last night talking about voting against the GOP out of spite, so who knows.

Add one more to the "Blame Bush" column --



This scoreboard has to be from 2009. By now the "Blame Bush" column has to have at least 3,462 points.

So it was -2.9% or it was down 2.9% from what was expected?


Also, I thought the initial was -.1% not -1%

the Republicans are standing at the plate....bases loaded.....behind a couple runs....and the ball is pitched....it's a mediocre fastball....it's headed straight for the heart of the plate...

For some reason, I just can't see them swinging

Be prepared for the "Obstructionist Republicans holding back the economy" attacks.
