Things Can Only Get Better

From President Obama --

"What I want the American people and our partners around the world to know is this: We are going to get through this. Things will get better."

Yes they will, beginning on the date on the t-shirt

and the scientific community is united in that fact!

I just hope we can hold on that long.

How foreboding on Obama's part when he said recently -- I didn't say 'change we can believe in tomorrow.' Not change we can believe in next week.

The Washington Post wonders --

Will Obama be reelected? The economy could hold the answer

That just may be the understatement of the young millennium.

Let's turn to the former chair of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, Christina Romer, who said -- we're "pretty darn f--ked".

For those who took comfort in Friday's jobs numbers, remember -- "Less bad is not good."
