2. Something to the effect that it was like Hoover saying

prosperity was right around the corner, depression era sloganeering.

3. I was watching the Daily Show rerun....

...and he said, that it is "more like the jobs turned a corner and went to some other country."

4. Hoover... ran on the prospect... prosperity was just around the corner...

"Yesterday, the president said to Americans that we were turning the corner, referring to the economy. Well, let me ask you, if you're one of those 44 million Americans that don't have health insurance are you turning the corner? If you're one of those people who has a job ... that's been forced overseas, are we turning the corner for those folks?

The last time we had a president who ran on a slogan of turning the corner was Herbert Hoover, and he ran on the prospect that prosperity was just around the corner. I don't want to run talking about turning the corner. I'm running to climb the mountain and get to the top."

5. also said the last time a prez talked about an economy truning a corner

was Hoover at the start of the great depression. Kerry said he doesn't want the economy to turn the corner but climb the mountain and get to the top.

6. Thought it was pretty clever to tie to Hoover and pretty damn dumb on

the Repub side to overlook Hoovers' use of the same slogan.

9. Well, it is Bush we are talking about.

I would expect a lot of stupidity there.
