The Main Stream Media seems to be constantly shocked at how poorly the American economy is doing under ObamaNomics. Whenever poor business, house, or job news comes out, they are quick to throw on the word "unexpectedly," pretending that the economy is actually doing great, but this one time it hiccupped. But the problem is, the poor economic news is quite expected because of President Obama's incompetence .
So, I decided to take some time and compile some of the "unexpectedlies" from the start of the year until today. But before I begin, just remember what Albert Einstein once said (which is normally attributed to Benjamin Franklin): "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
So, without further ado:

My tagline says it all
..their doing what their agenda requires, what is "unexpected" is GOP letting them
Well, this was unexpected... /s
I was expecting something a little less, ahhhh, unexpected.
Unexpected by whom?
Actually I really believe we have a den of thieves operating in Washington and their incompetence act is just their cover to avoid prosecution
This is just what I expected, when he was elected by morons
The movie “Idiocracy” Is COMING TRUE
Neil Cavuto should get on top of this.
LOL! Awesome Phineas and Ferb drop-in.
Yea, I had to make that because the "unexpected" news was too easy to pass up.
That should make today:
Unexpectedly Thursday™
The current administration’s economic decision makers are, unexpectedly, not as smart as they first thought.
“Unexpectedly”
That’s what they say,
“Unexpectedly”…
Though it happens each day.
Like a Jobs Report that stinks, you see
In a stubborn-growth economy
Never before
Has something been more...
Unexpectedly
Slow to get well
And forever more
That's how it’ll smell.
Unexpectedly
Slow to improve
And with Barry O
We’re stuck in a groove.
That's why some think it's incredibly,
Remarkably, unexpectedly
Sure Barack will lose
“Unexpectedly”, too.
