Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Unemployment rates rose in more than two-thirds of the nation's largest metro areas in November, a sharp reversal from the previous month and the most since June.
The Labor Department says unemployment rates rose in 258 of the 372 largest cities, fell in 88 and remained the same in 26. That's worse than the previous month, when the rate fell in 200 areas and rose in 108.

Many laid-off workers are giving up. In states such as Michigan, unemployment rates are falling because more people have stopped looking for work. Once they do, the government no longer counts them as unemployed.

Wait for the after xmas lay offs.
Personally, I think the media is waiting for the Republicans in the US House to vote on something (anything) and then the economy will suddenly plunge amid cries of "Obama had everything fixed!! 2011 was looking so good! What have those Republicans done?!?"
What...no “unexpectedly” in headline?
In other words the entire house is on fire, but the flames are not as large...
“Personally, I think the media is waiting for the Republicans in the US House to vote on something (anything) and then the economy will suddenly plunge amid cries of “Obama had everything fixed!! 2011 was looking so good! What have those Republicans done?!?”
I wouldn’t doubt it.
(There was even some idiot calling Mark Levin’s show last night already blaming the newly elected Republicans for “rising gas prices” even though they haven’t taken office yet...)
I am sure this was totally ‘unexpected’ too
So why is Obomba at 50% approval in the latest gallop poll?
Our Country is full of idiots.
A little holiday eggnog and they are all forgiving.
“Wait for the after xmas lay offs.”
Yep.
And imagine how bad unemployment would’ve been this past year if they didn’t have the census temporarily boosting numbers...
“So why is Obomba at 50% approval in the latest gallop poll?”
It’s the new and improved Comeback Kid, reading his Reagan book and moving to the center!!!
Or, a dead cat bounce.
Remember “Recovery Summer “?
That phrase broke the BS Meter.
And immediately after the Republicans were elected! Those d**ned Republicans!
Cooked polls. There is no other explanation if you look at how the country overwhelmingly voted against him and his party in November. Heck, his own people didn't want to be seen with him on the campaign trail. How quickly the MSM forgets.
“Cooked polls. There is no other explanation if you look at how the country overwhelmingly voted against him and his party in November.””
Yep. I haven’t seen the data, but I’m guessing it was heavily oversampled with Dems, as always.
Hopey Changey!
What they really are itching to say. By Friday the House Republicans will be responsible for all bad economic news and the heartbreak of psoriasis
How weird. You’d think that businesses would be itching to hire people who wear their pants around their knees and speak an unintelligible dialect.
“Progressive” policies always sound so good to the educated fools in the Ivory Towers. But when implemented in the real world “progressive” ideas inevitably lead to tragedy.
