#1 Obviously somehow Obama's got Beranke by the balls.

#2 Pfft. More likely Bernanke's trying to happy-talk the economy to counter the Obamanable Collective's apparent determination to doom-and-gloom the stock market into the mid-fives.

I don't know, this week the economy's felt like the Mines of Moria just before the diggers found Durin's Bane. A sort of sense that maybe there's an abyss below the bottom of this hole.

But hey, if Ben wants to claim we've hit rock-bottom, that's his look-see. Me, I'm trying to think of ways to stock up on Balrog repellent.

#4 I think a mid term recovery is only possible if ALL the little children clap their hands, so Tinkerbell will live.

#6 It'll be another prime example of bureaucratic newspeak in which having exhausted the bulk of the damage the 'rate' of decline will move from double digit to lower single digit and therefore will be officially declared end of the recession. Just altering the narrative, not the facts.
