No Joe, not EVERYONE.


GUESSER??? So much for our so called intellectual community organizer / law instuctor.
I believe the context for this statement was that the Administration used mainstream estimates for their economic projections, hence "everybody" being the entire economic community and not just the Administration.

It is fair to say that the actual economic numbers turned out worse than most had estimated.

To imply that Obama was "guessing" isn't really accurate.

That's not to say that they haven't made some very rosy predictions on economic stimulus impact as they certainly have.

To imply that Obama was "guessing" isn't really accurate. he was HOPING

I love ya Spence but you are just obama deluded...the fact that you will following along and defend willingly with the crap that these guys are trying to run by everyone is really disturbing...

"I believe what Biden was Saying"....Biden doesn't even know what he's saying...EVER!

Spence, if he had said "WE" guessed wrong, i wouldn't have had an issue with it.

By him saying "everybody" he was implying everyone should take the blame, even if it included the economic community as you implied.

He must have forgotten the 183 votes against the bill in the house.

Either way, "we" or "everyone", Joe was the one who said "guessed wrong", which would include the President.

Everybody knows the first indicator to uptick when a recession begins to weaken is the jobs data. Just remember when you change your underpants every third day, "brown in the back, yellow in the front."
