Fellow Kossack mikepridmore has posted an excellent piece in his Daily Kos diary about the role of the President in economic recovery, and his analysis breaks down the real facts behind the statistics for both current and previous recoveries.

Yes George Bush has finally told the truth about finding something to be pessimistic about no matter how hard you look at the economy. There is some improvement but the middle class is mostly being left out. Kerry is not wrong to talk about the squeeze on the middle class. Kerry certainly seems to have the facts on his side. And he proposes pinpoint tax cuts and other incentives to create jobs instead of the red herring tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans that George Bush keeps telling us are responsible for jobs growth.
