Tony Farto Says: Beleive Us, Not Your Lying Eyes!
Q Tony, the President has said several times that he thinks the fundamentals of the economy are strong, as are — as have some of the other economic leaders. Are you concerned at all, is the White House concerned that that message is simply not resonating with the American public?
MR. FRATTO: It’s hard for us to know what the American public is hearing. I think they — I would hope that they’re hearing the balanced description of the economy that they have been hearing from people like Hank Paulson, Eddie Lazear, Keith Hennessey, and also from the President and other people who are speaking for the administration’s views on the economy.
It’s hard to know what the public is hearing???????
Ever hear of an opinion poll? What about a focus group? Consumer Confidence Index? The polls showing the vast majority think the economy is in the toilet?
THE BUSHIT ADMINISTRATION (Chorus, with fingers in ears): “LA-LA-LA-LA-LA, we can’t hear you, Maple Street, the economy is strong fundamentals, just a little bump in the road, LA-LA-LA-LA!!!”
