Following the governmemt's Employment Situation Summary yesterday, two words were noticeably absent at the Associated Press (here, here, and here), Bloomberg, Reuters, CNBC, and the New York Times: "seasonally adjusted."

Can you imagine a country in which reporters actually reported the news? In which investigative reporters actually investigated? Where political agendas didn’t trump “information”?

obozo inherited a very weak economy - it's not his fault!

So when do we start calling it what it really is, A Depression, cause that is where we are.

The world is right behind us as we head down the crapper.

3 years after the 9/11 recession, there were 4 million more jobs than before the downturn began.

the media termed it a “jobless recovery”

4 yrs after the 08 recession, there are 7 million LESS jobs

the media termed it the “new normal”

While listening to yesterday’s Savage, I get an ABC news break....Such great news.
EVERYTHING is looking so rosy. The economy is on a fast rebound...all indicators up.
Do not pay any attention to those pesky unemployment numbers.
Happy Days are Here Again...whoopee

Excuse me while I go BARFFFF

Maybe in 2017 when a Republican is inaugurated, but I think it's more likely to be declared in 2021 which is the earliest I think a non-Democrat will be in the White House.

Inheriting a weak economy is the best thing that can happen to a president. I mean it is like taking over a baseball team that lost 100 games last year. If you finish .500, they think you are a god. But Obama cant even coax mediocre results out of this dead dog economy. Hence the lies.

"Destroyed the economy. Helped al Qaeda.
Ruined America's defenses. Turned Congress into meek traitors.
Humbled SCOTUS to lap up and accept
forged documents, fake social security numbers, and improper taxes.
What difference does it make?"

[LibsRJerks]

I know! Let’s legalize 11 million plus illegal aliens.

That should SURELY help our economy and create more jobs!

[RC one]

I just read that they were spinning the decline in GDP as acceptable because the January jobs numbers were so good. This is getting pretty freaking ridiculous.

And.... the DOW is up over 14,000. Is this a great country or what.

The only way the the stock market could be more doped is if Lance Armstrong would be named to be Ben Bernanke's replacement.
