I’m sure it will be reported as:

Barack Obama created or saved 400,000 jobs in February, which were offset by the 500,000 jobs that George W. Bush lost in February.

Surprise, surprise.

Everyone in msm thinks the economy is just humming along.
Yet the “unwashed masses” KNOW the truth.

Snow may be the official reason, but I don’t buy it.

Sounds familiar... I recall when the Soviet Union used to blame their problems on the weather too. Now we know what we are becoming...
