From 9.2 down to 9.1!
Of course, 38k fewer people worked in July than June — and 2.7 million net jobs have been lost under Obama’s stewardship — but hey, that’s like, totally inside baseball-type statistic keeping.
No. You, like the mainstream press, need to focus on the drop to 9.1. That tells us we’re going in the right direction © — and that there is no recession, no matter what you see or hear or feel. All of which good news almost certainly justifies a lavish, star-studded birthday extravaganza for a hard-working, gray-haired scion of Hope and Change — where, if it’s any consolation, I’m certain nothing was served but steamed veggies, fresh boiled chicken with a vinaigrette dressing, and bowls of Baked Lays Sour Cream and Onion chips, for those willing to brave M’Chelle’s ire.*
The fact that, should we employ the job roll numbers used to gauge unemployment under Bush, unemployment would stand at 11.7% — well, that’s immaterial. And likely very, very racist, to boot.
Matt Damon!
The White House doesn’t create jobs, haters.
Still, even with better July numbers, the economy is not creating enough jobs to bring unemployment down significantly. The unemployment rate fell because 193,000 people left the labor force.
We just need to get more people to leave the labor force, and those unemployment numbers will fall.
Looks like we’ve totally turned the corner on this recession thingy.
Which, hey, remember when that kind of rhetoric was openly ridiculed? Ah, those were the days.
Watch out… Dingy Harry’s pantaloons are en fuego!
The 8 million jobs were lost beginning at the precise point that business learned that their choice was between global warming moron McCain and plain old moron Obama. So, GWB was responsible for job loss in that he did not use Obama-like executive power and grant himself a third term.
Unhelpful
John Kerry should call for the press to silence these people, this “Pethokoukis” guy and that obscure joint he gets his analysis from, what is it, “Goldman Sachs” — whoever they are.

I worry about Carin and Darleen in the event of an actual Viking Cock being deployed.
From the linked Kudlow piece (emphasis mine): For some reason investors have chosen to ignore profits. But they’re still the mother’s milk of stocks and the economy. Stocks may well be undervalued right now.
This was written on Wednesday. I’m thinking Kudlow might wanna take a mulligan.

I doubt they’re missing him much.
Hmmm. Somehow I doubt either one is going to take that challenge lying down Roddy, unless you mean you worry for the deployer’s sake (or sack, as the case may be).
Further to #9:
Darleen, don’t you realize that when Harry Reid moved from Searchlight NV to Washington DC, he raised the IQ level in both places?
I’d never take the challenge of a viking cock deployment lying down.

Y’know, I’ve had a cock for, well, seems like forever, and I’m confused by one thing: how exactly does one vike with the damned things?
I’m from Minnesota, John, so I can tell you that it involves showing a lot of promise and getting somebody’s hopes up, and then coming up short and failing to achieve.
There’s a reason the pills are purple.
they had huckleberry pie at bumblefuck’s birfday I never had that ever my whole life
My god, they killed the lovable cartoon dog, just to make a pie?!?
Pureed dog? Are you sure that wasn’t Insty’s party?
The good news: The recession ended two years ago.
The bad news: That’s when the depression began.
Squid. May I thank you for #15? … that was wonderfully done.
Matt Damon!
FUCK YEAH!

They probably keep voting for him because they’re glad to be idiot free.
I start a new job tomorrow after being out of work for five weeks. I’m kind of psyched because it has a network management aspect (actual hardware) on top a mostly software development job.
So, I suppose the jobless rate next month might be down an extra 0.000001%. Which, yay!
