Bad News for Obama: The Economy is Better than Expected

(By Lisa Schiffren, National Review Online) - Well, this is embarassing. The New York Times — yes, that old liberal rag — has a story up on its website admitting the worst possible thing about the economy: things are not as bad as the Dems in Denver want you to think.
