According to the U.S. census, the economy may have bottomed out. It’s like in Minecraft where if you keep digging, you eventually hit impregnable bedrock and can’t dig any further. But Obama didn’t find diamonds down there, only creepers.
Everyone understand Minecraft analogies, right?
So how does this work with Obama’s car analogy? The Republicans drove the car into a ditch, and now Obama has somehow managed to get the car to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. So, good news, everyone: It can’t get any worse. Maybe it will even get better. Or we could just kind of sit here a while.
That’ssssss a nisssssse economy you have there.
My only worry is that if Barry somehow gets reelected that he will put us into the void.
@2 – Obama will take us to the “Beyond” part of Bed, Bath, and Beyond (as seen on Family Guy):

No, no — keep going! Geothermal is the new solar! Four more years!
When you finally hit bottom – there is only one way to go.
Sideways.
As somebody who has been a Chicago Bears and White Sox fan for more than fifty years, I can assure you that things can always get worse.
@6 – Yup… you could be a Cubs fan 😀
Oh, and here I thought we needed a doctor with a flashlight to show us where the economy was.
“…to paraphrase a recurring Hee-Haw bit: ” Gloom, despair, and agony on me, deep dark depression, excessive misery.” Grandpa Jones and some other tall, skinny, mournful-looking guy (who was found murdered, talk about your self-fulfilling prophesies) did the bit every show.
but if you are Obama-keep digging.
I’m put in mind of The Furious Five talking of Po in Kung-Fu Panda.
“If he’s smart, he won’t come back up those steps.”
“But he will.”
“It can’t get any worse.”
Sure it can… and it probably will, even if Romney wins the election. If Treasury prints enough currency between now and the end of the year, we’ll get the same kind of hyperinflation that plagued Germany after WW1 and Argentina in 1989. Romney might be able to reverse some of it, or mitigate some of the damage, but we could end up with enough damage to the dollar and our economy, that we may have to go to a new currency. I think that may be what Obama wants if he is counting on a second term. If we do away with the dollar because it has become so devalued through hyperinflation that we need a new currency, I would be willing to bet that there is a design floating around the Treasury Department, where the currency has Obama’s picture on it, just like China’s currency has Mao’s picture.
I really hate it when you optimists tell us it can’t get any worse. A phrase that is just as much a harbinger of doom as “it can’t get any worse”, is “what could possibly go wrong?”
Hmmmm… Correct me if I’m wrong, but when something that is supposed to float and be self-sustaining like—oh, say a submarine, or the economy–hits “rock bottom” there is really no “good side” to the situation, no matter how much spin you put on it. It is a disaster and it requires a serious rescue effort which puts politics aside. Just ask the 129 men of the Thresher….
I believe I heard either Beck or Limbaugh saying the other day that the census data used for this conclusion was from 2011.
Actually, it says this right in the link you provided. Only a retarded liberal could come to the conclusion that 2011 census data shows that the economy has bottomed out in what is almost 2013.
