'The Failure of Obamanomics'

Despite the propaganda from the White House and the white-washing of the severity of the current recession by the state-run Obama Media, the latest economic numbers paint a clear picture of failure on the part of Barack Obama and his advisers.

Most Americans are worse off today than they were five months ago when Barack Obama moved into the White House. Obama has managed to make the economic crisis worse. So much for that "hope and change" so many American voters fell for in November.

From a new column by Dick Morris and Eileen McGann:
