After serving as the White House press secretary and as a spokesperson for years before that, I learned what it feels like to dread bad headlines.

It used to be you’d wait until the paper was thrown on the stoop and you’d run down the stairs holding your breath to see what it said. Now you just click online after 10 p.m. and that determines the kind of sleep you’ll get that night.

Today, Democrats (and especially the White House) are reeling from bad headlines about our economic condition. Headlines this week included doom and gloom about the stock market, the housing market, the economic growth revision downward and the dismal job market. Specific examples include The Wall Street Journal’s, “Economic Outlook Darkens;” CNBC’s “Horror for the U.S. Economy as Data Falls Off Cliff” and the Washington Post’s “As Recovery Loses Steam, Few Remedies Left.”

1. Gimme the POWER and I'll take the RESPONSIBILITY

"broken, out-of-control program -- aka Medicare"
You win the slapdown prize right there.

2. What an idiot...

I guess she wants to pay us all back for all the money we put into Medicare... personal money... so we can use it later when we need it. Because if they take SS and Medicare away, I want my money back.

They have nothing, so they continue to confuse their low brow followers. There ought to be a law.
