What unbelievable chutzpah!
While the overall economy lost 125,000 jobs last month, Obama said that included the planned phase-out of some 225,000 temporary Census jobs.
“Make no mistake, we are headed in the right direction,” Obama said before boarding Air Force One en route to Sen. Robert Byrd’s funeral in West Virginia.
Obama tried to take credit for the temporary increase of jobs with the census workers, and now must take credit when those jobs are gone. Then Obama and pals point to the 9.5% drop of unemployment from 9.7% the month prior as some kind of vindication. Of course they fail to point out that this is because 625,000 people just gave up and left the work force.
Wow….what a success!
The US economy lost 125,000 jobs in June, more than economists had forecast, as thousands of temporary census jobs ended and private hiring grew less than expected.
And though the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 9.5% from 9.7%, the lowest in a year, it was largely due to more people dropping out of the labor force.
The report was the latest sign that the economic recovery may be faltering.
“Overall what this does is it reinforces the market’s view that the U.S. recovery is losing steam,” said Greg Salvaggio, vice president of trading at Tempus Consulting in Washington.
But hey, Obama claims we are moving in the right direction with unemployment sky high, no jobs being created, people so dejected they are leaving the work force in droves, housing sales down, and on and on and on.
Complete and utter bull

It has been over 20 years since I have been drunk. I have not given up alcahol, just the excess. While I love the taste of beer, I don’t really enjoy the hangover. But just like the blissfully stupid euphoria of the night of excess, the stark reality of the painful, bloodshot morning after has always been inevitable.
During those mornings, while I was trying my level best to view the world from one red eye, a friend would always pop by and tell me that the best cure was, “hair of the dog.” In other words, get drunk again and return to the blissfully stupid euphoria of the previous night. Then as now, I realized that sooner or later reality was not only inevitable, but nescessary.
Welcome to America’s hangover. The Zero and all of his minions can offer hair of the dog to return us all to the blissfully stupid euphoria of hopety change. I however, have faith that Americans will sooner rather than later take the hangover we deserve. It is inevitable, and it will get worse the longer it is put off. But we are also capable of intelligent thought, doing the right thing, and all decended from people predisposed to self reliance.
Just passing this one along:

It probably belongs somewhere else, but I’m not sure exactly where…!
I love the latest meme the Leftys try to push on this issue…
“Well, we are not loosing jobs as fast as with Bush!”… so… still digging the hole, just not digging quite so fast.
Meanwhile, more people are out of work… yet the “stats” they give us look better? And then they wonder why people no longer trusts what the Government says?
If you think everybody has the reasoning ability of Kenyans or Indonesians … no problem. It’s what he needs those best and brightest bathroom floor washers for.
FLYOVERCOUNTRY: hi, A good glass of whine or 2, is good with a great meal just once in a special time, I used to enjoyed that; but i will not buy any or keep some in the house, to me it always been limited to once in a very special time or holliday. bye 🙄 but it happen that I drank a 3rd glass and that was for me a gigling session, lauphing at anyting even serious conversations, so I knew to stay on 2 glass.
It’s only gonna get worse for Barry.
There ain’t no recovery in progress, companies have just cut back to stay alive and tread water. Any further slowdown and trimmed down companies will be cutting people they really don’t want to cut.
He can stand there and call a blue sky black only so long.
People are catching on to this dolt.
Reagan- Guns and butter
Owebama- Buns and clutter
Buns as food for the circuses
Clutter as unwanted electronic noise
oil guy from ALBERTA: WHERE you singning while typing, IT could be a song, It rhimes well. bye 🙄 I can visualyse your KANO singning that.
The mighty Kanoo sings to Ave Maria, The Marriage of Figarro, and the opening of All in the Family. To the uninformed, Kanoo is my 150 lb. rottie that also rolls boulders and fetches 2 by 4’s. Multitasker. His real name is Gentle Goliath von Hajden.
“Make no mistake, we are headed in the right direction.”
“We” in this case means the liberals who want the USA to be a socialist country. THEY are heading the USA in the direction THEY want it to go.
A few months ago the ACTUAL jobless rate was close to 20%. What is it now?
“But hey, Obama claims we are moving in the right direction with unemployment sky high, no jobs being created, people so dejected they are leaving the work force in droves, housing sales down, and on and on and on.”
Curt
You would make a good cheerleader for Obama. All you need is a tune and an outfit. All of what you said fits his agenda.
Smorgasbord…are you directing that last sentence towards me? If you are then its an incredibly ignorant statement.
Come to think of it, I saw this very attitude in some of the prisoners whom I escorted to the brigg some thirty years ago. While they were just convicted of criminal behaviour, they were convinced the judge and jury has it all wrong about their intent. Go figure, is it not what we are seeing from kenya’s favorite son?
CURT: I thought there was a mistake, when I read SMORGASBORD’s comment
@Curt: I was spoofing what you said, but in print it didn’t come out that way. When you said, “But hey, Obama claims we are moving in the right direction with unemployment sky high, no jobs being created, people so dejected they are leaving the work force in droves, housing sales down, and on and on and on,” it sounded like it would make a good cheer for Obama’s accomplishments. Sorry it didn’t read the way I meant it. I’m on your side.
No problem Smorgasbord….kinda figured it was something like that, that’s why I asked.
@Curt: @Curt: I don’t think I would want to see you in a cheerleader outfit anyway.
SMORGASBOARD: hi, I DUN know,HE SURLY has nicer legs than ARNOLD. bye 🙄
How do you know what their legs look like?
SMORGASBORD: KNOW KNOW KNOW, I said I duno, and I duno if you want to know,
WELL if CURT would be a cheerleader, you would know if his legs are better than yours, I duno
anymore. bye 🙄
AVERAGE INFIDEL: hi, SO many AMERICANS SPILLED their BLOOD for THIS beautifull USA,
LAND OF THE FREE: AND each time ,A PRESIDENT acquire the power to SERVE the PEOPLE:
well, they also have the responsability to protect the LAWS of THE LAND, which is the CONSTITUTION; and if they fail miserably to do their job, and deny 1rst AMENDMENT FREEDOM OF SPEECH and more of: THAT become A DO OR DIE VERDICT FOR TREASON:
THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE MILITARY, so why should it be diferent rules for the whole Government. bye 🙄
@Bees
So long as Curt and Smorgasboard don’t become members of a Scottish cheerleader regiment. I’ve got no desire whatsoever to see them display their bagpipes.
@ditto: You talking about it means you really want it to happen. What about it Curt? Should we put on our cheerleader outfits and perform for him?
DITTO and SMORGASBOARD: IT’S INCREDIBLE ,how you have the ability to play with some other person’s IMAGINATION and ability to visualyse some unseen event. bye 🙄
oil guy from ALBERTA: YOU could add , PAVAROTI to his name. bye 😉
LIKE GENTLE GOLIATH von HAjDEN PAVARROTI.
@Smorgasbord
A special private performance for Curt? Well, OK, but only if we include the cartwheel and handstand routine. Remember we start with Scotland The Brave, move into Rowen Tree, and finale with Itchy Fingers. Don’t forget to dress in full regimental glory.
ditto: NOW you dont make it easy for me to get my imagination, to visualyse that;
specialy wnen I dont understand some wordings like” CARTWHEEL and HANSTAND and
ROWEN TREE and ITCHY fingers ??. bye 🙄
@bees
Rowen Tree and Itchy Fingers are Scottish songs.
A handstand is the position you move into when walking on your hands.
A cartwheel is harder to describe: Here’s a Video
As Scottish cheerleaders Smorgasbord and I would be wearing the traditional kilt. Out of modesty I won’t describe “in full regimental style”
ditto: thank you, it look like fun, but also difficult. bye 🙄
@ilovebeeswarzone: I ain’t much good at anything, but I have a very active imagination.
@ditto: Not “for” Curt. It will be “with” curt. We will have a special performance “for” ditto (21). It will be a private performance. We are going to fulfill his dreams about us.
@ditto: We need a list of what you want us to do.
Whoa boy….I’m staying outta this one. The stage is all yours Smorg
@Curt: If you ain’t going to, I ain’t either. Probably better that way. I can’t dance, and I don’t look good in anything, no matter what I put on.
@Bees
Oh well, looks like the show’s off. Probably all for the best, as the results for anyone watching might have been like the final “Ark” scene in Raiders Of The Lost Ark”
ditto: IT’S your fault you mentionned “cartwheel and handstand and specialy ITCHEY FINGERs:
THAT was enouph for loosing our players, well, we’ll have to find something else to cheer them up. bye 🙄
How come it is only guys who want to see Curt and I in our cheerleader outfits that we don’t have?
SMORGASBOARD: WHAT makes you so sure?, there are many girls posting silently waiting,
glued to the monitor so not to miss a second of it, with the printer ready to move,to capture every details. bye 🙄 .GOOD exercise for my english writting too
