Let’s Hear It for the Obama Recovery!

The stock market is at an all-time (absolute) high.

Unemployment is below 8% (The US economy added 236,000 jobs in February, and unemployment fell to 7.7 percent of the workforce, adding to signs of steady job-market momentum despite the burden of higher gas prices and tax hikes.)

If Romney had won, this is all that we would be hearing from the MSM. Repeat after me, “Obama Recovery”, “Obama Recovery”, “Obama Recovery”…

If only Mittens had won! Happy days would be here again with a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage!

And there do appear to be few chickens and cars... Wait, that can't be right... Teevee says we're all doomed...

So carry on, Obama! As for the media:
