the best jobs report in more than four years

The best jobs report in four years? Is that the thing that moved the unemployment rate from 9.7% ot 9.9%?

Yee-Haa!

The jobs report was not good overall. Debt + High Unemployment + High Underemployment = Bad Things!

I have absolutely NO confidence in the numbers that are released by this administration. I have no faith in them to report truthfully. We have only their word on the accuracy of the report and that’s just not good enough for me having seen them in operation for over a year now.

Why were the liberals so pissed off when unemployment was between 5.5 and 6 percent during the Bush years? But now were almost at 10%, and there’s no reaction against Obama policies contributing to where things stand?

I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody tweaked the number to make it at 9.9%, so it’s still under the magic 10%.

Are they still using the excuse that the jobs picture was bleak due to the February blizzards? Or are we past that point? The snow has all melted, springtime has arrived, etc. etc.

Yeah, the entire Obama recovery gone in one day. Shoosh, miracles. Good news is Soros can afford to send Obama more campaign cash.

Best jobs report in years? Fox is rapidly become more Saudia/Fox than just Fox/Saudia. They are spewing the regime BS as well as the rest now.

Bush averaged probably 5.5% unemployment for 8 years.

Great chart? Can I ask where you go it? Says Dustin Woodard?

25 years to recover.
