It WILL drop bellow 8....

It’ll be as fake as Obama’s hope and change but when you control the numbers they can be anything you want.

". . . have been building up for two decades."

Biden was in the Senate for what, THREE decades? Not to mention all the other Dimwits.

I will believe it when I see it. I am presently on disability dying to heal and get a job. Laid of 1/6/2010, still looking for employment. NO hope here.

OBAMA: ‘I Didn’t Overpromise,...I Simply Underperformed.

Since the real (U6) unemployment figure is closer to 16%, (15.6% for November) it’s more likely that the rate will be 18% next year, not 8%!!

The Food Stamp President is a pathological liar! I suspect that he could pass a liar detector test because he is one. If you have ever dealt with a pathological liar you can readily spot them. They can look you in the eye and tell you with a straight face that the tooth fairy is real ... and they believe it!

...Reversing structural problems in our economy that have been building up for two decades, that was going to take time. . . .

Obama is talking in code and, while they know he is talking about more freebies for the bottom half, they DON"T KNOW that they will eventually pay for their freebies with their freedom and lost opportunity in the future.

What Obama is doing is the moral equivalent of a pedophile pretending to be a nice guy for a child by offering them a sucker.

Hey, if you keep taking unemployed people off the roles, pretty soon we'll have a 0% unemployment rate while keeping unemployment payments to the people who aren't counted anymore at an all time high, in order to stimulate the economy, just like Princess Nancy says.

His remarks draw a sharp contrast to the interview he gave shortly after taking office saying if he didn't have the economy fixed in three years, “there’s going to be a one-term proposition."

I wonder if the contradiction is brought up in the interview...wait- its 60 minutes...

Obama added that while he thinks it is possible for unemployment to drop to eight percent by November, he is focused on the elements he can control to get the economy moving again.

I wonder if they'll remind him about the stimuloss...wait- its 60 minutes...

"Reversing structural problems in our economy that have been building up for two decades, that was going to take time,"

right dumbass- because things were "structurally sound" when carter left office...what a dumb POS- the GOP should beat this moron senseless with his crap talking points- these are the gifts that keep on giving...

A total criminal lying fraud. Since before day one.

[upchuck]

The drop from 9% to 8.6% was caused by the BLS dismissing a while bunch of people who have quit looking for work. They are still unemployed, just no longer counted.

Given that, if the economy doesn’t improve, and I doubt it will, the BLS can probably discount more people every month and by spring or so the unemployment figure will have miraculously dropped to 8% or so. It will be a pure lie, but numbers lie, right?

[depressed in 06]

DumBO will be lucky if it is below 10% after the holiday expectations.
