Consumer confidence falls in August. Unexpectedly.

And Obama is purportedly even with Romney in the polls. Oh, I forgot, it's the fault of Bush!

Pretty obvious to anyone with higher brain function, actually.

As Krauthammer said, Obama is running on Clinton's economy as the reason to put in a Democrat again, so what's going on now is irrelevant.

It's *always* unexpected! You'd think it was the Spanish Inquisition.

Unexpectedly? Who exactly expected it to get better with A) a stultifying bureaucracy hindering private enterprise B) Taxmageddon looming in the new year C) Rising energy costs due to the EPA and the Iranian nutbars D) A fifty year drought causing massive crop failure E) The forecoming imposition of Obamacare on business?

I expect there will be an increase in confidence on Nov 7th.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
