Meet The Press’ David Gregory Hits Treasury Secretary Geithner With Economic Numbers, Geithner Blames the Weather

NB — Last month, David Gregory tripped up new DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz up with a chart detailing President Obama’s economic record. It showed unemployment up 25 percent since Obama was inaugurated, debt up 35 percent, and gas up more than 100 percent. Wasserman Schultz lamely tried to argue that the economy was getting better, to which Gregory replied: “Americans don’t believe that’s the case.”

This Sunday was Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s turn and he fared no better. At one point he even blamed the weather for Obama’s terrible economic record.

Democrats need a better answer to Gregory’s chart. They can’t wish the data away.

As Bill Parcells liked to say: “You are what your record says you are.”

    They don’t have anything better. They will always resort to some ridiculous cause and effect excuse about why things haven’t gone they way they want. Racism, pisslamophobia, greed, homophobia, Bush and apparently even the weather are the standard talking points. Their in trouble and they know it.

    hmmm…… Remember when witch pelosi called Bush’s unemployment rate of 5+% as jobless recovery ? what is it now – 9.2%? Recovery is coming along nicely for the dims. This is what the dims economic policies from pelosi and Reid coming home to roost.
    Spending like drunken sailors when they got into power, 1.6trillion in the hole and no budget in 2 yesrs and you want to demonize conservatives for trying to right this mess….
    This whole administration is a bunch of liars and crooks who never balance a single budget, living off other peoples’ money…
    Guess what punk, you ran out of other people’s money….. Stop spending

    Tax cut is NOT spending cut!!

    Well well, what have we here? The MSM actually doing their JOB instead of hiding numbers and facts that make Teh Messiah look bad? Could this be the start of the proverbial ‘tiny crack’ that starts the run on real journalism before the 2012 elections? Will other MSM outlets and reporters follow, now that one has blazed the path? Wouldn’t that be nice and refreshing to see?

    Timaaaaaaa………Timaaaaa, Timaaaaaaa. Amazing how much Geitner, the tax cheat, resembles Timmy on South Park. Except that Timmy on South Park is sooooo much smarter. And better looking too.

    “Real journalism,” what a concept. How would this new concept work? What is it’s purpose?
