On Feb. 2, 2009, Obama told the "Today
Show" that "a year from now I think people are gonna see that we're
starting to make some progress," and that "if I don't have this done
in three years, then there's going to be a one-term proposition."
(He was sworn into office just 13 days before).
On Feb. 12, 2009, he predicted that his $830
billion stimulus, signed into law on Feb 17, would "ignite
spending by businesses and consumers" and unleash "a new wave of
innovation, activity and construction ... all across America."
On Feb. 26, 2009, Obama's first budget projected
that by 2011 – the end of 2010 - the
economy would be cooking ahead at 4% real GDP growth, with unemployment at 7.1%
and falling fast.
On Feb. 7, 2010, he said "we are seeing the
corner turn and the economy growing again."
On June 4, 2010, Obama claimed the "economy
is getting stronger by the day" and later that month said the recovery was
"well under way."
March 25, 2009, CNN Money reported “the worst recession since
the Great Depression.
August 1, 2009, Bloomberg
report that this recession was the worst recession since the Great
Depression.
October 14, 2009, the Washington Times discussed the same
conclusion: that this was the worst
recession since the Great Depression.
Compare all this with
his current rhetorical theme: “We didn’t know how bad it was.” He said this just yesterday, in an interview in Seattle. And, he intends this to one of his
re-election themes, that “I didn’t know
how bad it was.”
‘Nuf said.
