Editorial: A Tale Of Two Recessions And Two Presidents

Growth: It’s been nearly two full years since the recession officially ended, and the economy is still struggling to get off the ground. It didn’t have to be this way.

When the Commerce Department released its estimate for first-quarter growth — a meager 1.8% — President Obama’s chief economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, at least conceded that “faster growth is needed to replace the jobs lost in the downturn.”

And granted, the economy needs to expand by at least 2.5% just to keep up with growth in the labor force. So at 1.8%, we’re essentially losing ground, a fact that last week’s 429,000 initial jobless claims underscores. But what Goolsbee didn’t acknowledge is that the economy could be growing at a much faster rate, and would be if it weren’t saddled with Obama’s reckless policies.

How do we know this? Compare the two worst post-World War II recessions. Both the 1981-82 and the 2007-09 downturns were long (16 months and 18 months, respectively) and painful (unemployment peaked at 10.8% in 1981-82 and 10.1% in the last one).

What’s dramatically different, however, is how each president responded.

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means…”

Twenty-one percent (21%) of Likely U.S. Voters say the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey taken the week ending Sunday, April 24. It’s the fourth week in a row that the measurement has gone down, with confidence in the nation’s course now reaching the lowest point of the Obama presidency.

Iran’s president and supreme leader in rift over minister’s reinstatement

A rift is emerging between Iran’s president and its supreme leader, prompting several members of the parliament to call for the impeachment of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has not been seen in public for days.

Ahmadinejad has refused to appear at the presidential palace since Friday in what is being seen as a reaction to Ayatollah Khamenei’s reinstating of a minister he initially “asked to resign”.

Under pressure from Ahmadinejad the intelligence minister, Heydar Moslehi, a close ally of the supreme leader, stepped down on 17 April but was reinstated when Khamenei asked him in a letter to stay.

The president has not publicly shown his support for that decision and on Wednesday he refused for the second time to chair a cabinet meeting in which Moslehi was present. Ahmadinejad also reportedly cancelled an official visit to the holy city of Qom prompting reactions among conservatives that “the president was sulking”.

Racists!

Allen West to hecklers: ‘You’re not going to intimidate me’

It’s amusing that they chose to start screaming at him in the middle of his speech about how people have been trying to intimidate him. Way to prove his point, geniuses. But then, if they had any brains they wouldn’t be leftists.

As Matthew Boyle reports, the woman who was escorted out is someone named Nicole Sandler, who used to be a radio host for something called Air America. Neither name rings a bell.

Go watch the video and continue reading about these racist dimwits who think yelling at an Army officer would somehow be effective. Idiots.

This from the comments sums it all up:

She (and I use that word loosely) is a perfect example of a “New York style” liberal, marxist, post-menopausal hag-bag.
I’m thinking… a graduate of N.Y.U., Brown or Columbia majoring in “Womens Studies” possibly?
She, and the gelded cretin she’s with, need a good dose of reality…

“Today’s economy has made it easier to fall into poverty…. Every American is vulnerable to the insecurities and anxieties of this new economy. And that’s why the single most important focus of my economic agenda as president will be to pursue policies that create jobs and make work pay….” – Candidate Obama, July 2007
