Not to change the subject, but we really really need to bring back jobs to America.

Just saying. Buy American.

It would not happen under a white president. Obviously it’s the doings of racists. Probably the Tea Party.. or maybe talk radio listeners . . . .

The “media” is already spinning this as “good news”. I guess because it isn’t a “really unexpected” 389,000. The “media” loves Barry.

Just saying. Buy American

I don't disagree with you that "America" [United States] needs jobs, but what exactly do you mean by "buy American?"

Is a Toyota Camry built in Tennessee or Indiana, where the companies hire and pay American employees, and pay taxes--is that "buying American?"

Or, would you recommend buying a Ford or Chevy, built by foreign employees, using parts manufactured in Mexico, but carries an American logo--is that considered "buying American?"

I know what your point is--you want us to buy products made in America, built by Americans. The truth is, sometimes this is impossible. And even products that "look" American; i.e., carry an American logo, are not necessarily as "American" as you think they are.

This year was worse than last year, culturally and financially speaking regarding the US. The next three years are going to be horrendous, each worse than the one before it.

You can pretty much bank on that. I honestly don’t know if the country will survive Obama in any form remotely similar to the form it was in back in 2008.

Oh, but look on the bright side!

That’s 380,000 people that don’t have to work for a living any more!
