Remember when Bush was President, unemployment was 5% and the liberal media was talking about the lousy economy?
Obama has 9.7% unemployment with a real rate closer to 16.7% and the liberal newsmedia talks about anything BUT the economy.

Correcto mundo! Sandwiched between 9/11 and the last few months of 2008 financial debacle the middle Bush years had unemployment under 5%. As you say the media lambasted bush on the economy and covers for Barry’s sorry showing——hypocrites—thy name is LSM.

People need to realize that when they vote for Marxist policies that destroy innovation and wealth and blame "the rich," they're going to lose too.
Blame me for job losses

Obama has 9.7% unemployment with a real rate closer to 16.7% and the liberal newsmedia talks about anything BUT the economy.Oh no, they talk about it - in glowing terms.
For instance, 217,000 new unemployed is a "huge improvement" over the previous 500,000 unemployed. And the .3 percentage point jump was "much lower" than the expected .5 percent jump.
The MSM is actually the SRM - State Run Media.
