WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is welcoming an improved national employment report, saying his administration has "rescued our economy from catastrophe."

Perhaps he failed to note that 140,000 of the people who filed unemployment went to “long-term” coverage. Oh the trickery of numbers and white lies.

Govt caused it due to thugs like Frank, Dodd, Meek, Waters and others in the Congressional Black Caucus that block ANY regulation of Fannie & Freddie.

The Dems NO Energy Policy (no to anything and everything) caused energy prices to soar which hammered the economy.

This idiot is more evil than Chavez and Mugabe.

They jimmied the numbers to make it look marginally better. But anyone who is not blind, drinking the koolaide, or so invested into Obama that they can't get out knows better.

He and his ilk helped make it happen, they then took charge of it, and have now made things much worse.

We have abject evil amongst us. It has been festering for decades and is now rapidly advancing. The American people are seeing through it on this health care plan and are angry...and tired of being the patsy for all of these marxistic, socailistic, destructive, initiative robbing, liberty destroying, un- American, and unconstituional actions of the DNC, Dems, left, MSM, and RINOs.

Something is going to give, and so help me God, it will not be the liberty, constitution, and way of life my forefathers sacrificed their life's blood for.

The Dems and Obama seem intent on turning this into something more akin to Iran over this issue, with their own Basij thugs sent out to silence us, and Obama supporters called on by the Whitehouse to report any dissent. But that will not work here. It will backfire on them and ultimately they will be held accountable. We are not only aware of our rights and the sacrifices that have vouchsafed them for us, but we are also unwilling to submit to thugery and tyranny, and will use all means to prevent it and stop it.

Gee whiz. That’s like a doctor who breaks both your legs and then gives you a pair of crutches paid for with other peoples’ money. Liberal fascism in a nutshell.

If that’s the case then W should get credit. He’s the one who started all the government spending and intervention.

OK, let’s cook the books on employment, pump up the stock market and let the one company we control the highest percentage of (AIG), beat numbers. Then we will send out the president to talk about how we have saved the country from catastrophe.

This administration looks more and more like they are wasting time making shadow puppets with the projector light because they didn’t do their end of term presentation slides.

bunch of sophomores.
