Obama Boom: Inflation Rises and Manufacturing falls

The greatest economic comeback since the foundation of Mu by refugees from the Sirius star system 20,000 years ago is on the rocks. Thanks to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s 3rd World economic policy of debt monetization known as QE2, inflation has returned. The surge in oil prices which is due to a devalued dollar, is now rippling through the economy. That combined with stagnant wages and low paying jobs, has dampened consumer demand. This in turn has effected manufacturing production. A new report shows inflation rising and manufacturing declining.

U.S. core consumer inflation rose at the quickest pace in nearly three years in May  and a regional manufacturing gauge contracted this month, underscoring the headwinds facing the economy.

The Labor Department said Wednesday its Consumer Price Index, excluding food and energy, increased 0.3 percent, the largest gain since July 2008, after rising 0.2 in April.

Separately, the New York Fed’s “Empire State” general business conditions index fell to -7.79 from, contracting for the first since November, from 11.88 in May, surprising economists who had expected a rise to 12.50.

“I assume people will look at this as another reason the recovery is stalling, giving more fodder to the double dip theory,” said Paul Radeke, vice president at KDV Wealth Management in Minneapolis.

“However, other data has shown that the consumer remains on track, suggesting that eventually manufacturing will catch up. However, this data suggests that process will take longer.”

No matter what the evidence, these experts have faith in the Obama Boom. No matter how negative the economic numbers, they claim good times are ahead. We have been hearing this for three years and nothing has changed. Clearly the media has so much invested in Barack Hussein Obama that they can’t admit what everyone knows, there is no Obama Boom!

This is the Obama Stagflation Deflation.

The Obama Boom is back! Less than expected!

Just when you thought the media finally acknowledged there was no Obama Boom, they resurrect it. After months of reports saying “less than expected” a new term has been coined. Now it’s ” less than expected.” If economic data is not as bad as expected, it’s considered good and a sign that good times are ahead!

U.S. retail sales fell in May for the first time in 11 months as receipts at auto dealerships dropped sharply, but the decline was less than expected, offering hope of a pick-up in economic activity.

Total retail sales slipped 0.2 percent, the Commerce Department said on Tuesday, after a 0.3 percent rise in April.

Economists had expected retail sales to fall 0.4 percent.

A separate report from the Labor Department showed producer prices rose 0.2 percent, braking sharply from April’s 0.8 percent increase.

“The consumer isn’t dead. It’s good news for the day, and further evidence that while perhaps not robust, the recovery is bumping along in fits and starts,” said Michael Farr, president of Farr, Miller & Washington in Washington.

No the consumer isn’t dead, but our wages are stagnant and jobs are hard to come by. The Media shows their psycho-pant attitudes towards Obama. Bad economic news is good, if it’s not bad as expected. Anything to prop up their beloved Barack Hussein Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama has a laugh at our expense.

That’s not funny Barry.

Democrats own the Obama Depression

The Obama Boom is really the Obama Depression. He may have inherited a mess, but he’s turned it into a disaster. Obama owns the economy and he can no longer blame anyone.

While I generally loathe press releases, I have to admit that one caught my eye on Monday morning. The e-mail release from the Republican National Committee simply said, “They Own It.”

As I expected, “They” referred to President Obama and Democrats, and “It” referred to the economy. Within the first six months or even a year of a new administration, it’s fair game to blame predecessors for any problems. Indeed, it’s a legitimate and time-honored tradition by presidents of both parties. But such arguments get much less convincing as the second year comes to an end. Once into the third year, such claims sound downright silly. Gradually, any president and any administration take ownership of the problems facing the country.

While Obama and Democrats can say that they inherited a terrible economy and downturn that has since only marginally improved, it’s far more complicated than that.

Barack Hussein Obama owns this economy. It’s poor state is a reflection of Obama’s failed policies.
