| #4 Raj, Given the current state of labor relations at the NYT, I suspect that 'Best Time' will last until their people start asking for raises and then we'll be right back to 'worst economy ever'. Mike |

| #3 That had to hurt just a tad for them to admit it. There'll be a followup article to point out that Obumble's can take the credit for the economy. Which I agree with, he left the Presidency. [rimshot] |

| #1 'High-pressure' economy - whatever that's supposed to mean. Must have killed the NYT to publish this article. |
