WHO: White House of Obfuscation
Boy are we gonna miss Ari Fleischer. Here's a gem he gave us just an hour or so ago:
"The trend for growth appears to be going up,"
Fleischer told reporters. "It's a question of how
far up and how fast ... This does remain an
economy that has mixed signals."
Meanwhile, in the real world: "Jobs Picture Remains Bleak" - Reuters.
Mixed signals, Ari? The signals seem pretty strong to most of us, and they ain't pointing up. What will this white house do when they don't have such a game front man to deceive and distract, not to mention tell outright lies with a straight face?

is an Owie to All"
