Obama Aides Change Their Rhetoric on Economy
One of President Barack Obama's economic advisers said Sunday that the economy is fundamentally sound, a striking reversal from the Democrat's campaign rhetoric as his administration now guides the nation's financial health amid dire conditions.
... On Sunday, economic adviser Christina Romer was asked during an appearance on NBC's ''Meet the Press'' if the fundamentals of the economy were sound. ''Of course they are sound,'' she replied.
''The fundamentals are sound in the sense that the American workers are sound, we have a good capital stock, we have good technology,'' she said. ''We know that -- that temporarily we're in a mess, right? We've seen huge job loss, we've seen very large falls in GDP. So certainly in the short run we're in a -- in a bad situation.''
Just a week ago, White House Office of Management and Budget director Peter Orszag declared that ''fundamentally, the economy is weak.''
The seesaw message from the new administration drew sharp criticism from Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who said Obama's team was exploiting the economic situation for political gain.
- OBAMA DELIBERATELY TRASH-TALKED THE ECONOMY TO PASS HIS SOCIALIST AGENDA.
- NOW, HE'S TALKING THE ECONOMY UP.
- PROVING HE'S NOTHING BUT A LYING, TWO-FACED PIECE OF LEFT-WING CRAP.
