(Video) Political candidates who are telling voters that the economy is bad are living in an "alternative reality," President Obama said Friday. Touting the jobs report Friday morning that showed relatively strong growth, Obama accused people skeptical of the economy of engaging in "fantasy." "There seems to be an alternative reality from some of the political folks that America´s down in the dumps. It´s not. America´s pretty darn great right now," Obama said in brief remarks delivered at the White House. Obama boasted that the unemployment rate remained below 5 percent in February while 1.5 million workers have entered the

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
In The Past Year, The U.S. Added 360,000 Waiters And Only 12,000 Manufacturing Workers
More Older Workers Returning to Labor Force; More Long-Term Unemployed
This Wasn't Supposed To Happen: Weekly Earnings Drop Most On Record
Over 80% Of Jobs Added In January Were Minimum Wage Earners
US nonfarm payrolls totaled 242K in Feb
Labor Force Participation Improves; 93,688,000 Americans Not in Labor Force
1.5 million (mostly illegals) have entered the workforce while 5 million+ American workers have left it.
that junior has to address this shows how weak the economy really is.
The ObAMA ECONOMY IN A NUTSHELL
Lose a job making 100k
Can only Get after that pays 20k
What a great economy your employed!
Pot...meat kettle.
Sorry Pres. Obama...your administration has jury rigged the employment number by simply refusing to count the millions and millions who have stopped looking for work and not treating them as the unemployed.
A 4.8% unemployment rate in tour corrupt calculations is more like 15% unemployment.
You do the same with the other metrics.
People out here in what you might call fly over land, live and feel the doldrums you have created.
It is why a Tsunami is going to come along this November and wash away all of your type...and all of the fallacies, lies, and deceit that have been the hall mark of your eight years. And leave a clean slate like you were never there.
The one thing we cannot wipe away immediately is the hurt you have inflicted...but give us a few years and then, like the Carter years they will be left behind in the joy and brightness of the turnaround that is coming.
When that occurs, Jimmy Carter will no longer be remembered as the worst US President in living memory...you will have taken over that spot.
And it will all be your own doing.
Well, hell, it's never been better for Soetoro, and that's what matters.
More Americans unemployed and more Americans trying to survive on part time work and eighty percent of the few jobs are minimum wage only without benefits and mostly part time too. Obama keeps importing his islsmonazis invasion terrorist guerillas while GOP-e gets their unskilled Mexican cheap labor-—— a more unholy alliance has never been forged -— and it’s the regular American citizens like us that get the Royal Shaft.
One good thing about this election is you don’t hear from Lame Duck too often
There’s at least 96 million Americans living in that “alternative reality”. Those are the folks out of the labor force who gave up looking for a job.
I kept playing basketball, attended classes sparingly, drank beer heavily, and tried drugs enthusiastically. ... If the high didn't solve whatever it was that was getting you down, it could at least help you laugh at the world's ongoing folly. ...He'd know about alternate realities.

February was even worse: most of the jobs that were created, if only on a goalseeked, seasonally adjusted basis, were of the lowest paying, worst possible quality as has been the case for the past 7 years as the BLS desperately seeks to “pad” its political mandate of providing proof in a recovery which however is impossible if it were to tell the truth.
As a result, as the BLS itself admitted, “job growth occurred in health care and social assistance, retail trade, food services and drinking places, and private educational services” - all of which are the lowest-paying wage groups.
What a tool.
