No $hit. Under President Bush, my wife and I had a six-figure income. Under Dumboears Obama, we’re on food stamps.

Thanks to OBAMA!

The "media" said that there was some "good news" somewhere in last week's unemployment report. I guess you really have to look for it.

You want jobs to come back to America?

1. Outlaw public unions
2. Reduce government and regulations
3. Reduce government taxes especially corporate taxes
4. Massive tort reform
5. School choice

Or in a nutshell - everything that democrats support and gain their power from destroys jobs...

After the big government default and layoffs, maybe we’ll see lower levels of pride and more ironing of shirts. What’s for supper, anyway? ;-)

Under Bush, unemployment at 4.6% -- a "jobless recovery" and the worst economy since Hoover.
Under Obama, unemployment at 9.6% is about the best anyone has a right to expect. It's Recovery Summer, and we're on the right track.

Unbelievable.

I know several people who are around age 60 and out of work. No one will hire them. They are taking early social security as their only real option. S/S didn’t see this coming - hence they will start running deficits much earlier than planned.

Chrisy Matthews wants everyone getting unemployment check to vote for a DemocRAT this November.

OBAMAVILLE

Gett’n a head fake,
watchin' msn’s take;
All of their pundits oozing foul oil.
Clean’n my six gun on my front porch swing.
Felling my blood--
It’s beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know it's Obama’s fault.

There’s no rhyme or reason,
They are all commitin’ treason
With nothing to show but a brand new tax or two.
But they are real beauties,
Despotic duties, how they got passed
I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that it’s Bush we should blame,
Now I think,-- hell with them it’s Obama’s fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, but I just cruise on back home.
Because no medical care will the doctors render
They say there’s little service I can tender
And there’s no need for me to hang on.

Wasted away again in Obamaville
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that Bush is to blame,
And I know because of my vote it's my own damn fault damn fault.
