Phew! President Bush isn't worried about economy or stock market

Just when you were starting to get worried about the market's recent jitters. Relax. The man who declared "mission accomplished" in Iraq more than four years ago says not to worry. Everything is fine!

According to a piece in today's Wall Street Journal, Bush is optimistic. Here are some choice quotes from his remarks to a small group of reporters (apparently most had better things to do than listen to the president give his market forecast -- perhaps they were watching Man Band on VH1):

"If markets are given a chance, they will adjust in a way that is a necessary reaction to a flood of liquidity that came into the market over the last couple of years."

"I happen to believe the war has clouded a lot of peoples' sense of optimism."

"It all depends on if you're a glass-half-full or a glass-half-empty kind of guy."

With Mr. Bush's approval ratings hovering at around 35%, the glass is considerably less than half-full for him. More like 65% empty.

It's really a sign of the president's lack of credibility that no one really cares what he thinks about the economy at this point.
