dl211 says:

I will absolutely guarantee that taxes will go up, does anyone actually think Obama and Congress will stop spending?

[cannot rule out higher taxes to help tame an exploding budget deficit,]

Any given upturn in the economy, no matter the cause, the WH jumps on it like a duck on a June-bug declaring that they were responsible for it. However, with bad news, like the jobless rate, well, they just had bad information. News flash morons - you still have very, very, very bad information about health care, and cap & steal.

Obama still wants the cabbage-heads to believe he was right all along with all his spending, that the stimulus is and has actually worked. I'm sure there are plenty of people that believe him, however I'm also sure those that do not significantly out number those that do.

Obama preaches to those who do not give a damn as to whether things actually gets better...
