The President's political travel is going to get blamed (and probably rightly) for a share of this downturn.

I managed Hewlett Packard through the worst technology downturn in 25 years the dotcom bust.

A perfect storm is in the making: financial uncertainty economic downturn government cuts rising unemployment and a future that looks less clear the more we try to fathom it.

You know if I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough I would be convinced we're in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we've got to do something about the unemployed.
