Unacceptable

FAIL

The president’s chief economic adviser warned Friday that the nation’s unemployment rate could stay “unacceptably high” for years to come — a situation that would seriously complicate Barack Obama’s ability to convince Americans that he’s beating back the recession.

“The level of unemployment is unacceptably high,” National Economic Council Director Larry Summers said Friday. “And will, by all forecasts, remain unacceptably high for a number of years.”

This is the president’s guy. He’s apparently telling us that we must accept the unacceptable for the next several years. I don’t know how else to describe this as complete and utter failure on the part of the president and Congress.
