Maybe on paper, but not in the real working world. Yes, they do live in ‘lala land’.

[max americana]

Anything is possible when the MSM, aka AP, Reuters/ABCNBCBS can magically produce 8.2% out of their “scientific” polling.

Manufacturing will continue to shift overseas as long as regulatory costs remain as high as they are.

The rest of the economy will continue to sink because of this.

Most Americans including many of the posters on this forum have not studdied enough real world basic economics to understand why this is.

Massive bong hits. Just huge.

The list, ping

[muawiyah]

They've had over a year to do something about jobs but they've done nothing, don't intend on doing nothing, and probably don't have the slightest idea about what can be done.

The Obama Depression is going to last longer than the last 3 Republican Recessions put together, and destroy more people economically.

The degree of incompetence we find with today's Democrats is absolutely shameful.

[freekitty]

This is crazy. Why does he think this is a good unemployment number?

[eyedigress]

The economy has dropped and getting it back will be one hell of a struggle with this administration. Everything to them is “unexpected” and I have lost all faith in any projection from Washington.

[cruise_missile]

He also predicted that unemployment wouldn’t go above 8% if congress passed the stimulus package.

Obama Advisers Predict Unemployment of 8.2% by 2012
______________________________________________________________
Wow! Now, that’s something to cheer about. (/sarc.)

[TwelveOfTwenty]

The report projected that an average of 95,000 jobs would be added to the payrolls each month this year

That's little more than the 1.1 millions temp jobs that will be created by the Census / 12 months.

[OafOfOffice]

Translation: I will allow people to become employed just before my re-election!

[JohnLongIsland]

Just in time for the new president when she/he takes the oath on Jan ‘13.

[Starstruck]

Since they don’t include those that have stopped receiving unemployment this means anyone that is unemployed now won’t be included in the 2012 count. We are doomed.

[lack-of-trust]

They will “cook the books” to show declining unemployment. They have already started.

Here's a simple chart I made from BLS data with a couple of key events added by me...

[101voodoo]

What? Down to 8.2% in 2012? I thought it wasn't supposed to go OVER 8% if TARP was passed in January of 2009?
