Can we get rid of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc... yet? Everything seems to get worse by the day under these people.

Change you can believe in...... Now I can’t wait to hear the slugs in the main stream media try to spin this as good news. “Only just over 200,000 jobs lost in a single month. That’s good news!” LOL! Yeah I feel way better now.

Two Questions.. How many loss jobs since Obama has been in office, and how many since the TARP?

There must be some Republican somewhere the Rats and the media can blame for the unemployment numbers.

You simplistic, linear-western-equiture simpletons. This is actually good news. Just listen to Great Leader and His Men of Great Stature - then trust them.

From what I hear from some small business owners, things are tough. If you remember the famous Jim Cramer, “they know nothing” rant - that was I think July of 07 and he was talking about how the small business owners in places like California were in trouble then. We know how that turned out later that year.

Didn’t Biden just say that the stimulus was working? Why don’t they ever hold these people accountable?

On Fox Business this morning one of the so-called experts said more people looking for jobs and higher unemployment is a good sign.........

The state of the economy is what is saving us from Obamacare.

The pundits never mention this anymore, but in my view Obama fell from public grace at the nationwide press conference when he categorically stated that the local Massachusetts police “acted stupdily.”

That was the turning point: the day the BO mask came off for Americans to witness - a race-baiting limosine liberal.

But . . . but . . . but . . . Obama said . . . . . . !!

(We’ve probably beat this dead horse enough. We know Obama is a Platinum class liar and he doesn’t care! Unemployment will continue to rise. It will rise whether Obama says anything about it or not. It’s the way things are!)
