This airhead just won't shut the fuck up about our "recovery."

WASHINGTON — "My best guess is we will have a continued recovery, but it won't feel terrific," Bernanke said.
The Fed has pledged to hold rates at record lows to nurture the recovery.
Come on, get happy, folks! We're in a recovery!
Never mind the severe economic crises in Europe that will suck us in.
Never mind the Oil apocalypse, which may destroy a quarter of the country.
Never mind unemployment well into double digits and growing.(U6).
Never mind unemployment compensation running out for millions, shoving them into impoverishment.
Never mind health care being a tragic mess and probably getting worse.
Never mind the commercial real estate crisis, now just getting underway.
Never mind, that according to Wikipedia, we're actually in a Depression. http://en.wikipedia.org/...
In other words, NEVER MIND REALITY and DON'T LOOK AROUND THE CORNER.
Somebody should do a political cartoon of Bernanke screaming "But GDP is up!!" while he's drowning in oil.
