The Obama Regime has bragged about factories driving the so called Obama Boom. Well even this talking point is turning into a lie. Factory orders fell in June fell .5%. As usual, the media says this is unexpected and down play it to not make the god-king look bad.

New orders for U.S. factory goods unexpectedly fell in June, a fresh sign that the slowdown in the country’s manufacturing sector likely would stretch into the second half of the year.

The Commerce Department said on Thursday new orders for manufactured goods dropped 0.5 percent during the month.

Economists in a Reuters poll had forecast orders rising 0.5 percent.

American factories appear to be one of the country’s more vulnerable sectors to Europe’s festering debt crisis.

The trend in U.S. manufacturing has appeared softer and has added to concerns the economic recovery is losing steam. The decline in new orders in June likely means softer output down the road, which could weigh on economic growth.

New orders have now declined in three of the last four months.

I have no clue what recovery this article is talking about. The truth is we are ina  depression and no amount of spin or lies will change that reality.

The unprecedented prosperity Americans are enjoying since the inauguration of the god-king Obama continues without any end in sight. Factory orders fell the most in 3 years, declining 1.6% in April. Despite this decline, analysts claim things are good and no need to worry!

New orders for U.S. factory goods in March recorded their biggest decline in three years as demand for transportation equipment and a range of other goods slumped, government data showed on Wednesday.

The Commerce Department said orders for manufactured goods dropped 1.5 percent after a revised 1.1 percent rise in February.

Economists had forecast orders falling 1.6 percent after a previously reported 1.3 percent increase in February.

While the report showed broad weakness in March in a sector that has carried the economic recovery, anecdotal evidence suggests factories continued to expand as the second quarter started.

The Institute for Supply Management’s index of national manufacturing activity climbed to a 10-month high in April, with a measure of new orders received by factories the highest in a year, data showed on Tuesday.

Don’t worry people, our divine Pharaoh and his Theban Priests have assured us that things are good. Nothing to read here, move along!

Can you imagine if a Republican was President, how the story would be reported. The Obama Boom lie continues!
