Well, according to the gaffemeister, VP Joe Biden, it started about a month and a half ago.

Recovery Summer!! Come celebrate.

Of course, I haven't seen hide nor hair of old Joe since the last two UE numbers came out.

Vice President Joe Biden today will kick off the Obama administration’s “Recovery Summer,” a six-week-long push designed to highlight the jobs accompanying a surge in stimulus-funded projects to improve highways, parks, drinking water and other public works.

David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, said: “This summer will be the most active Recovery Act season yet, with thousands of highly-visible road, bridge, water and other infrastructure projects breaking ground across the country, giving the American people a first-hand look at the Recovery Act in their own backyards and making it crystal clear what the cost would have been of doing nothing.”
Now, if Bush had declared such a gimmick and then the jobs numbers told everyone what a liar he was, the press would be all over him. Not so much with Biden and obama, they get a pass.

Of course, the most transparent president ever really doesn't hold press conferences anymore and the press really doesn't seem to mind that either.

Recovery summer will begin when?
When Bush/Cheney release their death grip on America and the unholy troika of Rush/Beck/Hannity are silenced.

Only then will Hope n' Change descend upon our land.

With freedom and free stuff for ALL.

That is about how long it took to kick off the roaring 20's after Wilson left a much similar catastrophe.

Republican, Democrat, or Independent, we have to keep the big spenders and control freaks out of office!

Actually that's only 6 months, but - close enough for government work I guess...
