For the first time in his presidency, Barack Obama can call himself a job creator.

There are now more U.S. jobs than when he took office. Not by much, but they've moved out of negative territory, according to a Labor Department revision.

The 111 folks who will be out of work when the company I work for closes operations in November and the 80 some in the next town over who lost their jobs last week are not impressed with the recovery

I think Axelrod located these jobs on page 87 of the BLS. They really are good jobs, because they are magical.

The labor force shrunk by an average of, say 90,000 jobs every month since the Magical ONE took office. Then, heading into the last month...EUREKA!...we have more people working than when we started.

It doesn't get any better than this. Is this a great country, or what?

This is wonderful.

But answer me this. Why are so many people, (21 million), still looking for work?

We also can’t forget all the defense jobs that are going away due to sequestration.

Those pink slips are due out by law a week or two before the election.

Obama has manipulated that too because laws mean nothing to this administration. Laws are only something the serfs have to abide by. Well not all serfs, favored groups are also exempt.

How many people know about this? My guess would be very few.

Uuuuhhh, you might well restate that question: When did AP stop doing satire?....they are in the tank for all things socialist....they are willing to let the freedom purchased with the blood of many warriors rot just to get a seat at Dear Leader’s table...what a mess!

400,000 jobs suddenly appear.

Miraculous!

[/s]

Look for more [s] miracles [/s] in the coming weeks as the election approaches.

They don’t have to be real or true. They just have to make headlines.

Amazingly, Obama would have become the 1st sitting president to go into a debate with a net negative job creation.

And Presto!

Less than 5 days before the debate, 400 thouand jobs are discovered to put him over the top.

I mean are you Fn kidding me. Even the lapdog press must be saying, “where is the GOP with the mocking?” You know if it were Bush - Pelosi, Reid and Schumer would be holding a press conference today demanding an investigation.

“Imagine Bush magically pulling half a million jobs out of his back pocket one week before his first debate with Kerry?”

The problem with 0’s jobs, is that they’re almost all at fast-food restaurants.

AB0 ‘12!!!
