THE ECONOMY IS NOT AS BAD AS THE DEMS/LEFT/MSM WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE

HTT:

Same-store sales continued to pick up strength in the third week of June, with the gap starting to close between the month-to-date gain of 2.4% and the goal of a 2.8% gain, the Johnson Redbook reported today.

After a slow start, both discounters and department stores have seen improved performance as the five-week retail month proceeds.

THE LEFT-WING DOMINATED MSM WANTS YOU TO FEEL THE ECONOMY SUCKS SO THAT YOU VOTE FOR CHANGE/OBAMA.

DON'T FALL FOR IT.

APPARENTLY MOST OF THE PUBLIC IS FALLING FOR IT: WASH POST:

The Conference Board said its June consumer confidence index came in at 50.4, far below economists' expectation of 56.5 and May's reading of 58.1. The news disappointed Wall Street, which was down before the report due to a warning from shipper UPS Inc. that high oil prices are dampening its profit expectations.

THIS IS WHAT THE DEMS/MSM/LEFT WANTS: A RECESSION. TO FOMENT LEFTIST CHANGE.

AWFULIZING IS A BASIC LEFTIST TACTIC - (ALONG WITH THEIR GRAMSCIAN AGENDA OF ATTACKING THE TRADITIONAL CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS).

REPEAT: DON'T FALL FOR IT.
