Thanks!

I’m going to go check and see how they did if the threads are still there. I (unexpectedly) messed up the source info but a kindly mod has fixed it. :)

They’re the “smart” people. The kind who think Sarah Palin’s dumb.

You ain’t seen nothing yet.

I know of many companies that will be laying off hundreds of people over the next several weeks.

Don't they realize how dumb this makes them sound? If they never expect the bad figures then they are dumber than they look and that is saying something.

Two over worked phrases for this administration:1.) Worse than expected and 2.) Unprecedented. Every thing the idiot in chief does is "unprecedented".

Jobless claim rise - “unexpected” by libs, expected by us
World temp fall - “unexpected” by libs, expected by us
Muslim idiots in the air - “unexpected” by libs, expected by us

Go to Victor Davis Hanson’s excellent essay - reference the part about “Ivy League” degrees being worth just about as much as an Obama promise.

QED.

Who are these idiots who consistently underestimate the havoc wreaked upon the economy by Obama?

Yes, it is about time that the punditry sharply revise their expectations downward for Obama's policies. Every week we are treated to unemployment numbers that are "worse than expected." Maybe it's time to scrap Obama's recovery model? Just spitballin' here...

On going claims continue to drop because more and more benefits are running out.

That's an excellent point.
