Kay Barnes’ campaign asked the following simple question:

…Kay Barnes, 6th District Congressional Candidate, called on incumbent Congressman Sam Graves to answer one simple question.

Barnes asked, “Congressman Graves, do you agree with President Bush’s statement yesterday that the United States is not in a recession. Or do you agree with the 74% of Americans who believe we are in a recession?”

CNN reported yesterday:

“President Bush denied Tuesday that the United States’ economy is in recession, calling it instead a ‘slowdown’.”

CNN reported in March:

“Seventy-four percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey say the economy has entered a recession.”

[emphasis added]

It’s nice to know I’m in the reality based 74%.
