Obama’s fault. It’s just a necessary sacrifice to achieve utopia. Buck up, fairness is coming!

For the POTUS, not enough job loss and unemployment % not high enough. He should fire his staff for failing....(sarc)

Well, the Friends have been slamming Barry all morning on the economy. Gretchen said that all he could talk about during his campaign was the economy and now—not a peep. And so who will Chris Wallace feature on the Sunday show—John McCain. (rolling eyes)

Yeah and everyone should have seen that twit on MSNBC play it as “good news”, not near as bad as “we” thought it would be. Great numbers, etc. Paraphrasing.

NOT. A. CLUE.

But yesterday the headlines were about how it had unexpectedly fallen to only 693,000 (or maybe it was 639,000). As if the number wasn't bad because "experts" had predicted worse. The MSM and this administration are going to start doing that. Even if the numbers are horrible they are going to emphasize how they aren't as bad as predicted. Just the opposite of how they did it in the Bush Administration. If the numbers were okay, then the headlines were that they were worse than expected.

The "experts" have never been accurate.

The more government does the worse it will get. Wait until inflation hits. Those without hard assets will get clobbered, demand help, and get it thereby continuing the great circle of stupidity.
