I suppose mentioning that Obama is a Leninist/Marxist is out of the question??

For most of us, you can only serve us sh** sandwiches for so long, while telling us it’s steak, before we spit it out in your face. The problem in this country is that there are so many useful idiots who actually believe it really is steak.

We are really sitting in a depression at this point...IMO.

Yes we are, and have been for some time IMO. Although it isn't called a depression by the powers-that-be, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and does "unexpected" duck things, well then...

Not at all.
But I prefer to keep it simpler as my typing stinks.

So I just call him a Communist.

Didn't McDonalds announce back in April that they were hiring about 50k new workers?

So one company took care of ~ 80% of the total net job increase over the last 3 months?

If it wasn't for Mickey D's, just think how bad the numbers would be!

Once they Gave Mickey D's a pass on abiding to his Nazi Health care laws (that are enforced on all other companies), they hire the 50,000 people.

And all the other companies are not hiring, and are being forced to abide by his Nazi Communist plans.

Dear Obama, please give us a break and go back to Indonesia from whence you came. Inflict the damage of your Islamic Communist Ideology there, but please, leave us. Please go. Take Air force one with you as a token, and keep it. Take the White House with you, brick by brick, and keep it. Spit on and Burn all the white house relics you despise, the portraits of our founders, but please, leave us. Please Obama, you win. Take a few billion dollars for more vacations to Spain and Africa, Michelle's Wardrobe, but please, leave. Please leave America and go home.

I have learned (to my horror) that the average American under 50 has been hopelessly “dumbed down”. They probably think a socialist is the one who is the “life of the party”

I wouldn’t categorize this thing by age. Plenty of over 50 hippies around who KNOW full well what socialism is, and embrace it.

Because they never stopped smoking dope and fried their brains, unable to think logically.

Actually, if you include all those who are unemployed and NOT on the unemployment payrolls, and those who are living off the rest of us, unemployment is about 19.2. At least that’s what I read this morning - according to the Labor Department.

And oil is still up, and the dollar, down.

May revised down 25,000. April revised down 19,000.

So that means we probably had net 10,000 jobs LOST after the usual "revision".

“My stay-at-home wife would like to buy/build and operate a campground”

A friend of mine was a motorhome repair guy. Not any work now. Folks are getting rid of their expensive “fun” things to pay the bills. And the price of gas so high is also reducing the use of motorhomes. (You can find used boats for cheap now too).

Now, if it were more for car camping perhaps that might be getting larger as a cheap vacation (instead of the family flying to Disneyworld and staying in a fancy hotel).
