The public President Obama, bubbly in his reelection campaigning about a recovering U.S. economy, isn’t as optimistic in private, telling a select few that it will likely take up to two years for any recovery to click in.

A letter provided to Washington Secrets from Obama to a long-unemployed Portland, Maine carpenter pulls back the curtain of economic hope to reveal the truth about the stagnant economy. “I won’t lie to you,” Obama penned in hand to Charles Oliver in October. “It will probably take another year or two to fully dig our way out of this hole.”

Oliver had written the president in June to ask: “Are we as Americans going to be alright?” Answered Obama, “Yes, we will be ok. Because America has gotten through tough times before, and because of good people like you.”

While happy for the response, Oliver told us that he hasn’t seen any of the recovery the president and media have been heralding. “He’s out campaigning saying everything is coming up roses. He’s a lying SOB,” Oliver said of Obama, who has tried to temper his hopefulness with cautions that the recovery could hit speed bumps.

Oliver recently sold his letter through a dealer to pay for truck repairs but remains unemployed. Another firm, Alexander Autographs now has his letter and is offering it to the first buyer who bids over $10,000. The company’s president, Bill Panagopulos, told us that he will give half of the profit to any company that gives Oliver a full-time job.

"Fully" is kind of a key word in there that you seem to be ignoring.

I understood what you wrote. I just don't understand why you wrote it and was hoping you would elaborate. But nevermind. I don't really care all that much.

Ahahaha! Yes, I post a story about what the president did and I'm desperate? No, oncler- you are just upset that you are hitched to such a failure as Obama. I like Romney-

Nah - it's completely dopey to say he's "all bubbly" about the economy in public, and then try to suggest that he's telling a different story in private because he wrote that a "full" recovery is 1-2 years off. He's not out there saying we're in a "full recovery." He'd be laughed at if he did.

And no, trust me - you're none too excited about Romney.

I am not suggesting anything... I am presenting Obama's own words- I know it's hard to deal with Obama's inconsistencies and double speak- but really oncler I would think you were used to it by now?

You're not suggesting anything - as you call it "doublespeak"?

BTW oncer, I have always supported Romney and Gingrich; Santorum; Huntsmen; Bachman; Paul; Trump- etc. It's like this Oncler... ABO has my vote!
