The actual number is probably far worse than what's being reported ... we'll know more in a few hours after people have had a chance to analyze the adjustments made to the raw data by government bureaucrats.

Obama is trying to keep silent the real numbers that show how disasterous his economy has been. He wants to hold until January 21, at which time, the real economy will become the next (probably Republican) president’s problem. And, of course, the compliant sycophant media is go right along and start blaming the new president.

History might not be so kind to Obama, however.

[Chaguito]

All being set up for a collapse in the first or second year of Trump’s presidency, so he will get the blame. That’s why the DNC is allowing Hillary to mail in her campaign. They want to lose.

Obama says you're stupid if you don't believe the economy is booming.

Trump says you're stupid if you listen to Obama and the rest because the economy sucks.

Who to believe...who to believe.....

Glad that Obama went on the attack so Trump could declare open season on him.....

Remember when Biden predicted 500,000 new jobs each month?

Those were the good old days!

[NohSpinZone]

Not that this will stop Obummer from doing victory laps around the country about his economic record. The most clueless PoS to ever occupy that office. At least Carter had the good sense to know when things were going bad with his “malaise in the country” speech.

Obammy’s Xformation is even more successful than he could have ever hoped for.

“(gold price soaring)”

It’s all relative. Still down a lot from May 1.

Down BIG since high.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Its not a “huge miss”. Its the new normal. Welcome to Socialism, folks.

[familyop]

It's not all about Obama. The international trade regime (production centralized in certain areas), regulations from state and local governments, skyrocketing management salaries, artificial scarcity and NIMBY-ism have much more to do with it. The people at the bottom are left to compete against each other (cheap, part time jobs), and many are homeless.

Both political parties are socialist. Have a look at the NIMBYs.

Here is Obama ...exercising so he can "turn over every stone" in his search for jobs for the folks

[Sam Gamgee]

But broad markets are still roaring towards oil highs. Don’t get it. There is about zero reason left for the markets to keep going up.
