A Grim Milestone For Obama
Reuters uses the "G" word twice
WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama tried to highlight some good news and tout his economic plan on Friday, but the grim reality of plunging employment and faltering stock markets once again stepped on his message.... For the White House, the grim economic news has made it hard to find the right balance of blunt talk about the present and optimism for the future.
"As the president has often said, it's going to get worse before it gets better," spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Air Force One as Obama headed to Ohio to tout a minor victory for his plan.
That last line was a little snarky, wasn't it? Someone is going to get a talking-to from an editor...
Wait! Yet a third "grim" sighting!
Scott Paul, executive director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing, pointed to another 168,000 manufacturing jobs lost in February."This is a grim moment for American workers," he said. "The economic recovery package passed last month was a good first step, but more needs to be done."

How's the wine holding up, mr. B?
