Negative Double Digits

O's polling. Rasmussen. Gee, what could account for this? Perhaps his debt-laden policies and lack of leadership?

Mark Steyn:

Perhaps if President Obama were to have his all-seeing O logo lovingly hand-painted onto each sign, it would stimulate the economy even more, if only when they were taken down and auctioned on eBay.

Meanwhile, in Brazil, India, China, Japan and much of Continental Europe, the recession has ended. In the second quarter this year, both the French and German economies grew by 0.3 percent, while the U.S. economy shrank by 1 percent. How can that be? Unlike America, France and Germany had no government stimulus worth speaking of; the Germans declined to go the Obama route on the quaint grounds that they couldn't afford it.

They did not invest in the critical signage-in-front-of-holes-in-the-road sector.

The President may not know it, but we do--the buck stops here.
