#3 Remember the chant of Kerry-Pelosi in '06 about the "worst economy ever"? Compare to this -

The U.S. unemployment rate reached 8.1 percent in February, the highest level in more than a quarter century, Labor said on March 6. Employers eliminated 651,000 positions, the third straight month that losses surpassed 600,000 and the first time that has happened since records began in 1939.

Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News earlier this month predicted the U.S. jobless rate will reach 9.4 percent this year and stay elevated through at least 2011. At the same time, the countryâs economy will shrink 2.5 percent in 2009, the biggest contraction since 1946.

"not as bad as we think". You believe the MSM will hound the One as much as they hounded W for "mission accomplished"? /rhetorical question

A good compromise would be for Obama to declare "Economic Crisis over"

It would be a lie, but he wouldn't have to deal with the crisis, and could stop stimulating the economy.

Way better solution that what we are getting.
