the best one I heard in an attempt to rationalize the situation the country is in was on the NBC evening news tonight when Lester Holt asked the question....."is it possible these numbers represent the new norm?".....

The person he was asking, who was presenting the situation as dire, nothing like it since the 40's, etc......and Lester the appointed lead scout with a trial balloon got shot down.

How utterly ridiculous and another display of desperation.

At some point even the main stream media will have to acknowledge they are not fooling anybody and their credibility is almost non existent with a growing number of we the people.

Add to the above Obama's comments this afternoon that things are tough...we are not where we want to be yet...it is going to take longer than we thought...
