Fewer than half of Americans are working full time! That should be a headline. Instead it is ignored.

The unemployment rate that the administration trumpets is a liar’s number.

Exactly. If you are out of work beyond a certain point, you are no longer counted as unemployed. That's how they get supposed improvements in the unemployment rate as fewer and fewer people have jobs.

Listening to the clowns in the press discussing fractional rises and falls in the unemployment rate makes my hair hurt. They are phony numbers and you can't find anyone to say so in plain English.

$4.84 for 1 lb of 80/20 hamburger yesterday. $3.54/gallon of gas today, gallon of milk more than gas. Bread (store brand) $2.50 & up....can of store brand soup $1.06, and on and on and on and on.

Yet, economy, jobs, market all GREAT! Unemployment GREAT! HealthCare GREAT! (because anybody with any pull at all is exempt). IRS doesn’t target white Christian conservatives, NSA doesn’t spy. FBI doesn’t entrap old white coots talking out their butts, and on and on and on and on.

We have no terrorist enemies - we led the Arab springs for Eqypt, Libya, Syria (but Iran? nope, those kids might have won. It’s all man-caused disaster now. Benghazi had the same notice as today’s Embassy closings - why was it abandoned? Why isn’t the administration pointing out the poor son-of-a-bitch film maker who’s made the latest Anti-Islam film? That US Army Major in Texas just had a work-place disturbance and we have to pay for him and his helicopter rides, etc.....

It’s all one big steaming pack of horsesh!t effing lies by a foreigner Muslim President who stole the job but now won’t do it.

Obama hasn’t helped but he is not responsible for about everything you buy being made with jobs done somewhere else.

He said it with a straight face.

Isn't lying with a straight face, something that communists do all the time?

Hooverville, that's what we need on the DC commons again!! Think "O" will get the message THEN?

This cannot be blamed on the Greatest American Affirmative Action Experiment in history. It must be denied at all costs.

“The unemployment rate that the administration trumpets is a liar’s number.”

Oh, my goodness, Obama’s lying again?

Color me shocked.

But, at least America’s Blacks got what they wanted.

Is it true that if a person has two part time jobs that the statistics count both of the jobs as though 2 people are working rather than 1?

The combination of too many regulations--especially Obamacare--and not fixing the economy-inhibiting income tax system has resulted in slow revival of the economy from the effects of 2008 stock market crash.

We need streamline regulations, more efficient government, and a tax system that encourages savings and capital investment staying in the USA for a real recovery to occur.

Read the headline in the newspaper on the floor by the failure to launch.
