but not enough to change perceptions that the labor market was strengthening........................................... Sure! The talking points from the “Ministry of Propaganda”. We need a radio station that has a clock ticking tick tock and a voice over saying: “Every 7 seconds, another American is out of work.”.
Somehow this story from MSNBC reminds me of an old spoof TV ad from MADtv that touted the preposterous advertising claim of “Spishak Cholestra - 10% less anal leakage”.
The Obama Administration is bringing us new jobless claims that feature “10% less anal leakage”, and laughably, MSNBC wants us all to know that despite what you think, that little inconvenient factoid means that the outlook for the economy is bright and getting better all the time (all hail the mighty Obama).
Only in Obamaland! Up is down dontja know??
Today Rush commented on this story early in his program.
Exactly.
All politics is local (and personal). When the local news is deluged with reports of layoffs, closures, etc., and when people in one's immediate circle are suffering the actual affects of Obamanomics, the Big Lie loses its effectiveness.
That economic ship will sail any day now!
Nothing but propaganda 24x7 between now and election day.
Memorandum for the Record
From: Ministry of Truth
To: Lowly Unwashed Masses of New America
Subject: Directed Thought of the Day
As ordered, you are directed to believe the employment situation in New America is continuing to improve, regardless of reports surfacing today that may indicate otherwise.
You are further directed to maintain a countenance of happiness, euphoria and total faith in the benevolent leadership and guidance of The One and His assigns.
Noncompliance with these orders are regarded as crimes against the State and are tantamount to directly offending The One, resulting in swift, natural-cause action against you.
That is all. Proceed with approved activities until promulgation of further direction.
With that pic, I couldn’t help but be reminded of that joke, “Why are camels called ‘ships of the desert?’”
Shameless Fellatio of the Day Award ™
I know what you mean. I am buying stock in any rum makers because of my increase in the libations. But I am approaching a limit I fear, there is not enough diet Coke available. What am I to do? Woe is me!.
Yahoo.com today has the headline: "Stock Rally Helps Regain Wealth Lost in Recession"
Sounds good. On March 1, 2011 the Dow was at $12,213. On March 8, 2012 one hour before closing the Dow is at $12,927. My high school math tells me that is about 5.8% increase for one year. (12927 - 12213)/12213 BFD. My tax load has gone up more than that and I am not even looking at gas and food price inflation.
On October 8, 2007 the Dow hit $14,097. Again my math tells me we are still DOWN 14%. (14097 - 12927) / 14097 Some recovery.
In Sept. 2004, we got this: "the economy has still lost about 1 million jobs since Bush took office in early 2001, meaning Bush is likely to become the first president since the Depression era's Herbert Hoover to complete his term with an overall drop in U.S. payrolls."
Unemployment had just dropped to disastrous 5.4%.
When they go down 8K-10K, it is the sign from God of recovery - but when they go up 8K, “not enuf to matter” ...
Sheesh !!!
yeah....the zer0 regime is putting them on disability as fast as he can....
Don’t laugh. If Michelle and Barry have their way, our gas, food and utilities will all be rationed out....
according to our political ideology and generosity re: donating to the DemocRat Party, of course.
The MSM is now Obama Campaign Media, OCM.
It will probably pick up of the next couple of months then fall off.
Rather I should say unemployement will pick up in the next couple of months. There are still many workers who have given up.
