The retail industry's slow but steady recovery picked up the pace in February, with the nation's merchants posting the best sales results in more than two years.
Imagine where we'd be if Bush were still President.

Can anyone say "sales" and "people are buying out of necessity...coz they need stuff...coz they have been broke and scared to spend anything...wow that sounds like a healthy economy..". Wow...thanks Barry..as it turns out like everything else..thanks for nothing
So let me get this straight.... people blame Obama for the bad things that happen (even if they have NOTHING to do with him) but can't give him credit for the good things (regardless of whether or not he had anything to do with him).
I don't get it...I thought that 'whatever' happens during his presidency is his fault? Wouldn't this technically be his fault even if it's the natural market fluctuations?

Yes, people have been afraid to buy stuff, but, the point is that they are not so afraid anymore. The economy is not fully recovered yet, but, definitely healthier.

But last month, "I went out and bought a lot of stuff, clothes that I hadn't bought in a while," said Adlai, 46, who estimated he spent about $800 on the shopping spree. "I'm just feeling a little more comfortable.""

You did not know--everything that goes wrong can only be Bush's fault.
