Spox for President Job Growth dodges question about Hillary tasking Bill with 'revitalizing' the economy

Obama – "Economy is recovered. 69 months of job growth"
Hillary – "My husband needs to revitalize this economy"
Media – "Hur"

As we reported last night, Hillary Clinton said that if elected president she’ll put her husband Bill in charge of “revitalizing” the U.S. economy:

Josh Earnest was asked about it, and he managed to dance around the point as usual:

Josh Earnest: It’s up to Democrats to decide if they want Bill Clinton as economic czar

Asked about B. Clinton as econ czar, @PressSec notes 2012 Dem conv speech, "vision entirely consistent w/ what Pres Obama has fought for"

Gee, why would “revitalizing” the economy even be necessary?

This is what progress looks like:

Either the White House is lying about how awesome the economy is, or they’re saying Hillary’s lying about how bad it is.

Besides, Earnest is getting a little ahead of himself:
