fizzling while sharon bleeds

da prez, anxious to win something for a change, has renewed the push to make his tax cuts permanent.

unfortunately, tho the november figure was revised upward, 100k new jobs last month is too weak to support his claim of an economic boom (supposedly caused by those cuts, natch), plus the housing bubble may have burst, the trade deficit continues to set new records, where i shop a loaf of bread costs 33% more than a month ago, and the price of gasoline is going up again, not to mention natural gas.

is that why he tried to distance himself from pat robertson's latest episode of speaking for god?
