Unexpectedly!
As megablogger Glenn Reynolds, aka Instapundit, has noted with amusement, the word “unexpectedly” or variants thereon keep cropping up in mainstream media stories about the economy.
“New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly climbed,” reported cnbc.com May 25.
“Personal consumption fell,” Business Insider reported the same day, “when it was expected to rise.”
“Durable goods declined 3.6 percent last month,” Reuters reported May 25, “worse than economists’ expectations.”

THEY ' RE NOT SURPRISED, THEY 'RE COVERING FOR obammy !!
And they still think it's Bush's fault!
Bush just keeps sneaking back in and throwing the monkey wrench in their "Summer of Recovery"
Regardless of what the government controlled media reports, the U.S. economy has been derailed so badly that all of Obama's czars and all of Obama's horse's asses can't put it back together again!
No, Obama's Czars and Horses (a$$es) are the ones trampling our economy, along with our Constitution. The media is cheer leading and the Congress does nothing, not that they could if they wanted to, even if the House tried to impeach, the Senate is still too full of Commie sympathisers.
They are all corrupt and the reason they won't do anything is too many of them would go to jail. They are all behind Ovomit 100% or they would impeach him or remove him from office..
How hilarious! A great morning laugh. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how the polls indicate that this imposter has a chance at re-election? He literally doesn't have a leg to stand on! He has done nothing but lie to the American people. He is the most divisive White House resident we have ever had. And he talks down to us like we are all ignorant and stupid. As far as his czars and administration goes, let's just say Pandora's Box is wide open. I didn't realize such people even existed in this country. Let's show them the door (-:~
He knows he wont be re-elected. Thats why he wont allow an election. I fear for my country.
Here's how BabyBamBam will win: FRAUD, FRAUD, FRAUD .. illegal aliens voting, dead people voting, Mickey Mouse voting 25 times, busing in loads of perpetual "gimme" people, and SEIU will be out in full force. And if that doesn't work, well, hell, they'll just put a new chip in the voting machine, and it will switch all the votes to the illegal alien, Muslim usurper. Welcome to the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia law .. get ready to be stoned to death, ladies. It's a coming! Hasn't BabyBamBam done us all proud? Oh, my, you liberal lefties are in for one heck of a surprise when our economy and currency collapse, thanks to BabyBamBam, and you're all flat broke and starving.
The same goes for their president , worse than expected
"Unexpected" the definition of incompetent. Liberal definition of responsibility. and lack thereof.
Most of the time the Main Stream Media simply sweeps bad news under the rug when it pertains to Obama. If they do report any bad news pertaining to Obama's Administration it is at a minimum or hidden on page 14 of the newspapers.
well well am i not suprised that everybody who hates the idea that a black man can be president will whip up all kinds of slander and false stories about him lets take an example from history why is it that white people portray the ancient egypians as white and not as they actually were which were black and this can be proven by looking closely at all the ancient relices and statues that are in that country.lets stop slandering this president and back him up at least 100% as this is getting very old
brian……..even if all you pay attention to is the main stream media, you cannot possibly, really believe that this man [forget his skin color or at least remember that he is also HALF WHITE] and his administration has done nothing to improve the state of our economy. Regardless of what he "inherited" he's TWO and a half YEARS into his term and things are no better, in fact one could argue that things are far WORSE than when he was elected. He has spent more money than ALL past presidents and we are in worse shape than ever.
This has nothing to do with "RACE", it has everything to do with experience which Obama is woefully lacking!
What IS getting "OLD" is the blind adoration for a person who is doing an abysmal job because of his/her race. Isn't Obama the "POST RACIAL PRESIDENT"? I find it interesting that the words "RACE & RACISM" have been used more since he took the Office of the Presidency. Those words are used to deflect criticism of this president's POLICIES just as accusations of being "RACIST" have been used to halt discussions of differences between races without having to resort to facts. Sorry bri…………………..that just isn't working anymore.
BRIAN ; THAT MUST BE ANOTHER ONE OF MCFEAR'S NAMES IT IS THE KIND OF STUPID THINGS HE WOULD SAY MA BEE THE FRAUDULENT BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR A FRAUDULENT SOCIAL SECURITY NO. OR THE FACT THAT HE IS UP TO HIS NECK IN REAL ESTATE FRAUD WOULD NOT BE A FACTOR IF HE WAS WHITE IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
Jim glad to see that you too have caught on to James McPherson's constant use of aliases on this site. James is so dumb! He has used Brian before! You would think that he would change the aliases up more than what he does? But then again we all must remember that James is a loser with not only a comprehension disorder but as well a bad memory.
KATHIB HE IS 1/8 BLACK
