Title Only So Far

Obamanomics = EPIC FAIL

[Freedom_Fighter_2001]

Gee, I didn’t see that coming. LOL

[Redleg Duke]

Gosh! What a surprise.

And just wait until Reid lets the Bush Tax Cuts lapse. Then you will really see unemployment spike!

[newfreep]

"BREAKING"? Appears this is just another repeat of every past report.

Ain't socialism el grande! (I'm trying to learn some mexican-spanish lingo for our soon-to-be new overlords....

[kabar]

The BLS unemployment figures come out tomorrow. I guess the increase in new unemployment claims will translate into lower unemployment. Isn’t that the way it works? LOL.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

It’s “unexpected” if you’re a mongoloid idiot who’s been living on Pluto for the past two years. Otherwise, no one is surprised.

[neodad]

Unexpected Thursday...

[nhoward14]

That is unexpected news. I thought the unexpected jobs news came out on Fridays.

Was the phrase “unexpectedly” patented by the JournoList?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If it's bad, it's unexpected.

If it's good, it's because of The One.

[mewzilla]

...unexpectedly....

AAAARGH!

Note to the MSM: Good gad, would you please buy a thesaurus?!

[dforest]

Recovery Summer in full tilt.

[RGSpincich]

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

[tobyhill]

It is kind of funny how “unexpected” it is since it happened last week too.

[Artemis Webb]

but, but, but ...
This is Recovery Summer!!

[cripplecreek]

My idea for a billboard.

[ScottinVA]

And just wait until Reid lets the Bush Tax Cuts lapse. Then you will really see unemployment spike!

At that point, look for some businesses to pull up stakes from the US for friendlier climes.

But it wont be a tax “increase.” But just a return to where we were before “evil” took over.

But, since I earn less than $250k it wont affect me right? Right? //sarcasm off

[newnhdad]

They need to rehire a few hundred thousand census workers for a week.

Well, at least it’s not 12%..yet.

[Rational Thought]

Yes....But just imagine how much worse it would have been if not for the Obama Stimulus.....

[mewzilla]

If folks think the last two years were bad, wait ‘til 2011 gets here...

[TSgt]

Love it!

[Sgt_Schultze]

When your policies take aim at the job-producing part of the economy and you hit your target, you shouldn’t be surprised when your target stops playing the game. Only in the rage-induced and envy stoked world of whiny little b!tch Obama Jr could this come as a surprise.

[Zakeet]

Obamanomics Works!

[Recon Dad]

But, but Zero just yesterday things were going great while in Racine, Wisconsin. Who do I believe, my Dear Reader or my lying eyes?

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The use of the term “Unexpected” is unexpected......

Besides, how can “jobless” claims rise when the economy has already currently IN recovery or fully recovered? Looks like more “Stimulus” is needed. And, this new government fully understands how to make it happen. As soon as they come back from their current monthly vacation.

[mewzilla]

BTW, last I knew the Bureau of Labor Statistics was farming out the job of collecting this data to the Census Dept.

Everyone feel even better now? :)

[TomGuy]

from

http://finance.yahoo.com

“...new claims for jobless benefits jumped by 13,000 to a seasonally adjusted 472,000.”

[dforest]

I had a hard time looking at those turds sitting behind the top notch liar at his phony townhall.

Gullible useful idiots. Tooo stupid to live.

[mad_as_he$$]

they already are in large numbers.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Why is it, in matters of negative economic news, that to the White House it is always “unexpected”? We have come to expect that the White House will view all negative news as “unexpected”.

[Vaduz]

I HAVE A PLAN

Oama 2008

[Commander X]

Way to go...Barry. Even Jimmy Carter is looking better than you at this point. He should resign and take that walrus Kagen with him to some far away island!

[umgud]

Now would be a good time to raise taxes, pass Cap & Trade, use an executive order to grant amnesty to 25 illion illegals, institute more regulations on business, kill BP so they can’t pay for the spill cleanup......... and boycott Arizona.

That will fix things.

One swig o’ my Starbucks Americano!!

You're a person after my own heart....I'm swigging S-bk's myself. LOL.

[TexasFreeper2009]

UNEXPECTED!

everyone *DRINK* !

[Rummyfan]

Why is it always unexpected....

[Constitution Day]

[Biggirl]

Come November 2, 2010 and then in November 2012, look for a layoff of the political types.

[Reagan is King]

Just think of what it would be without the phony census and oil cleanup hiring numbers?

What do Census Workers and BP Clean-Up Crews have in Common?

[Maringa]

Breaking!!! Rebublicans unexpectedly win the 2010 House and Senate majority....

[TomGuy]

Stuart Varney on FoxNews just said that a second recession is looming, due to recent trend of numbers.

Stimulus money is not being used in the private sector, thus not causing job creation. Private business are still apprehensive of potential future regulations that would strangle them, so they are holding off adding new jobs.

Rate goes from 9.7% up to 9.9%.

[Team Obama will make sure the numbers are juggled so as not to rise to 10% or above.]

[Miss Didi]

But yesterday Barry said it could be worse...even 12% or 15%! Why can’t you people just be happy and play golf...it’s very relaxing.
