WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner says many Americans will face hard times for a long time to come.

He says President Barack Obama rescued the United States from a second Great Depression and will keep working to strengthen the economy. But Geithner says will be some time before many people feel like the country is recovering.

Geithner tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that it's a very tough economy. He says that for a lot of people "it's going to feel very hard, harder than anything they've experienced in their lifetime now, for a long time to come."

Mr. Happy says:The economy would probably be in recovery had Obama (the incompetent asshat) not done everything in his power to make it worse and then blame someone or something else. When describing this administration in the future the phrase "Epic Failure" will be used a lot!
