Barack Obama is floundering in a sea of bad news, as White House chief economist jumps ship

We're all stranded on Gilligan's Island.

For now.

[Dilbert San Diego]

But remember hope and change. We’re going to stop the seas from rising, and allow the planet to heal.

Besides, Obama got Bin Laden. Barbara Walters thought that ensured Obama’s re-election.

In fact the MSM has told us how weak the GOP field is, and that Obama will be re-elected. Let’s just declare the election over right now. The MSM would if they could.

[Lazlo in PA]

Panic must be setting in with the incompetents in the WH. It would be delightful to watch.

[bolobaby]

Why does that scene from Deep Impact where the presidential staffer is on the dock loading his boat with Ensure come to mind?

[Siena Dreaming]

Looks like the Obama WH is losing its power to manipulate job numbers like they have done in the past.

They're beginning to see dark skies ahead for themselves IMO.

[Munz]

Amazing how the media in the Uk gives more accurate reporting than our own news services

[econjack]

It's kinda nice seeing Obozo getting hit in the head with the axle and tail pipe of the bus.

The floundering is over.....

" ... struggled to explain an unexpected rise in unemployment figures ... "

Such utter booshit

Nothing is unexpected.

If anything, it IS expected to be this and worse ... THAT'S why we MUST extend the debt ceiling, and we MUST pass bailouts Now, and we MUST ...

It's all been smoke n' mirrors just short of preventing pitchforks, hot tar and feathers from marching on Washington.

What? We're too civilized for that?

You think we should accept cowardly, stupidly nominal?

The Boston Tea Party(ers) threw the friggin' tea away !!!

Mr. Goolsbee, an amateur comic, was the public face of White House policies more often than predecessors, often using a white board, and is likely to play an informal role from Chicago during the 2012 campaign.

Another Bozo abandons ship I guess it just ain't funny anymore.

[N. Theknow]

“If 54,000 new jobs is the new standard, it’s going to be a very, very rough 2012 for President Obama. But the three-month average was 160,000. If that is the case, then he will do OK.

Make that 54,000 burger-flipping jobs Mr. "It's the economy stupid."

54,000 miminum wage, entry-level, dead-end-in-spite-of-the-work-your-way-into-upper-manqagement-hopey-pledge, Burger-flipping jobs by McDonalds to get a fricking 0bamaCare waiver.

Wonder how cry-baby-boy in Florida with a McDonalds job feels about his healthcare now? How come nobody in the media has done a follow up to Julio Odegueda and asked him about McDonalds 0bamaCare waiver.

Do the math Mr. 40 More Years; 54,000 jobs at miminum wage compared to hundreds of thousands of jobs times thousands of dollars for 0bamaCare coverage.

AND...

While you are at it Mr. Mensa Reject...

Please explain how an "average" of 160,000 new jobs is a bigger number than 400,000 "actual" unemployment claims per week.

Christina Romer
Jared Bernstein
Austan Goolsbee
Fill in the blank _______

Like changing coaches every 2 yrs on a perpetually losing ball team.

[Yaelle]

Wow, so hurting the private sector Doesn’t Create Jobs?? Who knew? Socialism and “programs” don’t help the people? Stymieing energy independence doesn’t lower prices? This is so shocking!

[cookcounty]

Well, like Christina Romer before him, Austen Goolsbee lacks the intelligence to even write a serious budget.

[Mr. K]

Who was that guy in Iraq who was claiming US Troops were committing suicide on their border and not anywhere near Bagdad- as tanks were rolling up the street from him

[Buckeye McFrog]

as Fox News reported this morning, all of Obama’s original economic team has NOW RETURNED TO ACADEMIA.

There’s your problem!!
