The media sure is trying to create a recession! Have you paid attention to this? Every election year in which there's a republican in office, the media tries to create a recession. They want people to believe a) it's the president's fault and b) it's only because it's a republican president. They're so full of it!

This week the financial announcements have been positive, at least 7 out of 10 of the leading indicators. Jobless claims were down, unemployment up, stock market up, higher-than-expected profits from numerous major companies. Then right after the financial news in which these things are almost begrudgingly reported, some announcer comes on with a report about some survey in which "seven out of ten Americans believe we're either in or headed to a recession."

Please, make your own decisions. Don't let the media lead you into believing what they want you to believe because of whatever their agenda happens to be. If you're a liberal, at least be a liberal on whatever merits there are to be a liberal, instead of being led blindly along the media's propaganda path.

If you're conservative, I hope you understand the media's bias. Even Fox is biased, they just happened to be biased our way (I'm a conservative, in case you're wondering).

David,

In my job I talk to people through out the southeast and southwest. The thing I find interesting is each person believes their market is unique and they say something like this..."I know the rest of the country is having a tough time but we always seem to be doing good here and the recessions don't seem to bother us. I guess we're just different 'cause I know things are tough everywhere else."
Makes me wonder about all the doom and gloom reports.

Here in DFW all of our indicators continue to be good, even the real estate market seems to be holding its own.
