Limbaugh Recovery Much Better Than Obama's Economic One

The Progressive's Manufactured Outrage Machine is sputtering, and Rush Limbaugh is strong as ever.  Heh heh heh...

So far, though, Limbaugh’s opponents have been disappointed, and an analysis of the math – a very tricky proposition in itself – suggests their goal of running Limbaugh off the air will fall short.   (Hollywood Reporter) 

One New York advertiser, Mark Stevens, went on Fox Business Network to describe the fleck-spittle liberal hatred he's been subjected to...

Stevens described a coordinated attack – which he likened to “organized terrorist activity” – whereby liberal activists nationwide who aren’t his customers have been pressuring him to pull his ads. After his TV appearance, the hosts reported that Stevens received 38,000 emails supporting his decision to stick with Limbaugh compared to 2,000 that condemned him.

Stevens then appeared on the Fox News Channel and told host Megyn Kelley that emails he has been receiving from Limbaugh’s detractors say that he is “under surveillance” and “in danger.”

“Your house is going to be surrounded by buses," "your business is going to be destroyed," "your people are in trouble,” Stevens said when asked about the contents of the emails.

Meanwhile, Limbaugh is still attracting some large advertisers, including Chrysler, Nissan and Fox Broadcasting, which has recently advertised its show Touch. (Hollywood Reporter)

This is why Limbaugh is still on the air. Phony offense hustling, like all fakery, ultimately fails.

Another case in point is the fantasy that Obama knows the first thing about basic economics and that he is turning the economy around. Whatever gains we see are happening in spite of him and his "experts."

The Worst Economic Recovery on Record

Nearly three years after the Great Recession officially ended, the jobless rate is still above 8 percent — the longest stretch of such high unemployment since the Great Depression. Add back in all the discouraged job seekers and the part-timers who wished they had full-time gigs, and the unemployment rate is just shy of 15 percent.

While the economy is growing, it’s not growing rapidly. At this point in the typical post-World War II recovery, the economy was growing at an average pace of nearly 5 percent. The Obama recovery has managed just over 2 percent average annual GDP growth.Indeed, take-home pay for US workers, adjusted for rising prices, has actually fallen over the last year. (NY Post)

Add in the falling value of our dollars and...

All in all, Obama’s economic rebound kind of feels more like a bust than a boom.   (NY Post) 

Are you better off than you were four years ago?  A majority of Americans are shouting "Hell NO!"

You can gin up phony indignation, but you can't fake an economic recovery
