What?
All the temporary, holiday-season jobs actually came to an end after the holiday-season was over?
Who could POSSIBLY have predicted that?!

Wow! The smartest guy in the world occupying the White House and Geitner never figured on this. Temporaries hired for Christmas seasonal shopping are now being laid off. What a shocker.
I'm waiting to hear the new numbers on the MSM. They sure were quick at 8.5% last week

LMAO, how many times do these fools think we are going to believe that claims and the unemployment rate have gone down? And do they really think we believe that a ton of jobs were created in Dec? Even a halfwit can figure out most of the jobs in Dec are seasonal and come January the job numbers will be “adjusted” “unexpectedly”. Anyone who votes for HUSSEIN this time around, really and truly has to be stupid.

Some Pundits were still talking up the fact that it is still under 400,000. Well guess what? Next week, that 399,000 will be revised UPWARD over 400,000.

i’m awaiting the fanfares and champagne corks and plaudits of “Obama has saved us” like last week...oh wait!

Ignore the jobless claims. Look at employment to population ratio - it’s stuck on Jimmuh Carter.

Also, retails sales were DOWN more than expected. And consumer debt is UP.
We are repeating the same Austrian debt cycle that got us into this mess.
Look at the charts from Zero Hedge.

"Madame Zelda has moooore scary, unexpected information for you. In February it will be revealed...gasp...that layoffs in January increased the most in retail jobs and courier services! This is...most unexpected! It is not what I typically hear from the spirit world, which is mainly angry voices saying 'that wasn't me voting for that democrat, I was dead'."

If more folks would quit looking for jobs, we could bring the unemployment rate down to near zero. Now THAT would be an Obama success!

"... It is not what I typically hear from the spirit world, which is mainly angry voices saying 'that wasn't me voting for that democrat, I was dead'." Hah! That was funny. It would be true, but alas, dead men tell no tales - which is why they provide rich mining for the Demon rats.

“And consumer debt is UP.”
GMAC/Ally credit was buying almost any breathing Credit Criminal in November and December.
To boost Obama’s economic numbers? Without AUTO SALES, both November and December would have been an unhide-able DISASTER.

Exactly. When all the temp Christmas hires were bringing down unemployment claims, Yahoo would place the wire stories on the very top in big bold type.
Today. It's nowhere to be found. You have to dig into Business/Economy etc.
Too predictable.
