I don’t think “vastly improved” means what Jay Carney thinks it means. Last time I checked, the economy was far, far worse by almost every relevant measure compared to the day Obama took office. Gee, could his lame-brained policies have anything to do with it? Nah.
Sorry, don’t mean to be such a downer – especially during a recovery! And just imagine how vibrant this recovery will be once the debt ceiling is raised, taxes go up, and another round or two of “stimulus” is passed. Those will be some good times, for sure.
My goodness, the Obama White House really takes us for a bunch of morons.

***UPDATE*** A commenter points out that my link shows a chart comparing stats from March ’07 (not January ’09) to March ’11. This is true; that was an oversight on my part. Fortunately, my point still stands, which is to say that Jay Carney is smoking crack.
