Imagine if a Republican...

Were to blame winter for a crumbling economy. Does anyone really think the media would report that with out questioning it?

White House economic adviser Larry Summers said on Monday winter blizzards were likely to distort U.S. February jobless figures, which are due to be released on Friday.

"The blizzards that affected much of the country during the last month are likely to distort the statistics. So it's going to be very important ... to look past whatever the next figures are to gauge the underlying trends," Summers said in an interview with CNBC, according to a transcript.

Construction activity was hit particularly hard by the storms, but many restaurants and stores also had to close, putting the brakes on hiring plans and temporarily throwing some employees out of work.

Summers, director of the White House's National Economic Council, also said the United States was closely monitoring Greece's debt problems and U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was encouraged by what he had heard from European officials about the issue.

Who comes up with this stuff? Is this how stupid the liberals in the White House think we are?

The problem isn't winter. The problem is over taxation, over spending and over regulating. Not all the global warming that has fallen from the sky this winter. But of course the media will report this with out one question.
