Obama: Economic crisis 'not as bad as we think'

WASHINGTON (AP) - Confronting misgivings, even in his own party, President Barack Obama mounted a stout defense of his blueprint to overhaul the economy Thursday, declaring the national crisis is "not as bad as we think" and his plans will speed recovery.

Challenged to provide encouragement as the nation's "confidence builder in chief," Obama said Americans shouldn't be whipsawed by bursts of either bad or good news and he was "highly optimistic" about the long term.

yeah.. right because he's finally getting the fact that he's done a lot of damage to the financial markets and investor confidence by constantly talking the economy down. you can state the facts and then talk about potential, bright future and how everything is going to come back stronger than ever... but you don't stand up and say again and again "we're fucked" just to push through legislation. any reasonable person understands that you don't talk down the financial markets or the economy... you'd certainly think that would be understood after the 5th or 6th time of giving a press conference and watching the market tank in direct correlation to whats being said (or in paulsons case... not being said)

this fucking idiot said he isn't concerned with the "day to day gyrations of the stock market" - so you can send him a thank you note for each time he caused your 401k or pension money to lose value.

Kind of reminds me of this...

Obama can't win. Two weeks ago the media was hammering him for being too pessimistic and driving fear. Now he is being too optimistic.

This is what happens when a president is so clean that people need to really reach for things to slam him over.

For the past 10-12 years the #1 news story at any given time contained an element of being critical of the president. A lot of people want to continue down that path.

"While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed through the worst -- and with continued unity of effort we shall rapidly recover. There has been no significant bank or industrial failure. That danger, too, is safely behind us."
- Herbert Hoover, President of the United States, May 1, 1930

too optimisitc?

he's a leader. his job from day one is to inspire hope, inspire people to be the best, to have a vision for a better world and better life and to communicate that to everyone and make them not only optimistic about the future, but enthusiastic and want to be a part of it and be the best they can be.

any leaders job as a leader is to bring out the best in those they lead. period

a football coach doesn't walk into the locker room and say "yeah... we're getting hammered and its going to get worse"

a general doesn't go to his men before battle and say "well guys, its not looking good... in fact, you're pretty much fucked"

that's not what leadership is.

how can you be so ignorant to suggest that "being critical of the president" is a bad thing? EVERY PRESIDENT SHOULD BE CRITICISED! holy fuck man. Do we need to count the leaders that weren't/can't be criticized? Should i start? 1 - Stalin ... 2 - Hitler ... 3 Chairman Mao... 4 Kim Jong Il ... 5................................................. ..........

They're all assholes. What keeps assholes in check is criticism. The reason he's finally getting the fact that he can't talk down the economy is BECAUSE he's being criticized. he's being criticized because there has been real world consequences to his words and the things he's said.

Maybe one of these days you idiots will be able to actually read and understand what is being said instead of taking 1 little phrase out of what he said and using it out of context... I watched that speech and that isn't what he was saying at all.
