" Of all the statistics pouring into the White House every day, top economic adviser Larry Summers highlighted one Friday to make his case that the economic free-fall has ended.
" The number of people searching for the term “economic depression” on Google is down to normal levels, Summers said." (Links are Politico's and are left intact.)
This is telling for a number of reasons. First, they're trusting Google as a source. But if we go to the Wikipedia discussion page for "Cult of Personality" (The link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cult_of_personality) It's under the section "Wikipedia as an example" Here we learn that Google hits (or searches) don't account for much.
Granted, I am paraphrasing, since I don't have the author's permission to quote. But the gist is there. Well, if it's good enough for the White House....
I just did my own Google search for "Economic Depression" and got 948,000 hits.
"Cult of Obama" got 43,500 hits, including this one: http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com/
This includes a quote from Obama: " "... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama" - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire.January 7, 2008. "

And yes, Barack actually said that. The lap-dogs, of course, won't mention that.
