AyPee surveyed "leading" economists: Only "oil shock" can stop the US economic juggernaut now!
2011-04-27
Uh, yeah. Right. And taxes. And spending. And overregulation. And $14T+ of debt. And more people riding in the welfare wagon than pulling it. And not being willing to fight the War on Islamic Nut Jobs Terror. And creeping socialism. And Obamacare. And government incompetance.

But if it by chance we do slip back into a recession it's only because the price of a barrel of oil is going up, and that's entirely out of Obean's control. And has nothing to do with inflation due to Stimulii and Quantative Easing. Just so you ignorant slaves voters know what to think when the time comes.

#9  Leading economists? Are these economists the like the rent-a-doctors who showed up in their white coats at the news conference to hype ObamaCare?

#6  I'm not even going to buckle my seatbelt. The economy is stuck in the mud of deflation and debt. The engine might be churning, but it ain't going anywhere.

#3  Yeah...so oil is now trading at only $112 a barrel. No problemo! But the "experts" say to suck it up 'cause it could be worse. Who writes this shit?

#2  And let's not mention the Statutory Debt Limit either.

#1  Just like Obumble had no choice but to squash drilling in the Gulf after that little BP thing. Lately, his EPA delayed drilling on-shore in Alaska, because the nearest town (70 miles away, population 245) would be affected by the extra CO2 from the icebreakers, which the permit overlooked.

Other than that, it's oil shock. Just one more reason to go all green! I can't believe I said that...
