No, you see, Unemployment is really 75% when you factor in the under-employed, the people who stopped looking, the people who are sick on on vacation, people who don't have the use of one or more limbs, children, the elderly and the dead.

Job creation is not a measure of job creation. Obama is not getting off the hook for Kosovo. Stop it, libs.

Thank a job creator.

And me. It says I'm employed on my tax forms and the check they keep handing me but I don't do dick.

They keep giving me this paycheck, but I wouldn't say I'm workin' for it.

vernonFL: Thank a job creator.

I intend to, by voting for Obama.

vernonFL: Thank a job creator.

Yes, this is obviously because Romney won Florida.

This is the Bush recovery. It was just a smart move on Obama's part to extend the Bush tax cuts so that the job creators could have enough time to act.

of course non-farm unemployment went down, fartbongo redefined all industries other than community organizing to be considered farm labor. then he ran over a white girl with his car.

These numbers don't count the people who committed suicide because of Obama's job-killing regulations.

Really you have to consider unemployment to be around 700,000% because every person who doesn't have a job ACTUALLY doesn't have like a hundred jobs. You have to count every job they don't have. And people who are employed sometimes only have one or two jobs, they're unemployed in all the jobs they don't have.

James!: Really you have to consider unemployment to be around 700,000% because every person who doesn't have a job ACTUALLY doesn't have like a hundred jobs.

You come from the Planet of Jamaicans, don't you?

And you guys scoffed that reading the Constitution wouldn't do anything for jobs. I just think you should admit you were wrong.

There's also the fact that a lot of the jobs people do have are government jobs, which aren't real jobs. AND add to that the people who have "indirect government jobs":

-contractor who works on building public bridges/roads: government job
-lawyers who work only because the government creates laws: government job
-shop owner who has some customers that are cops, firefighters, etc: government job

So really, the unemployment rate is hovering near 3,498,200%, give or take.

I Said: There's also the fact that a lot of the jobs people do have are government jobs, which aren't real jobs. AND add to that the people who have "indirect government jobs":

Also factor in that every single job created during Obama's watch has been in the forced abortion industry, which shouldn't count either.

AND add to it the jobs that the aborted babies won't be able to create.

If I run some quick numbers, the REAL unemployment then becomes 7,356,820, conservatively.

That's about the same number of dollars per hour, that Obama spends on vacation.

Coincidence? Probably.

House Speaker John Boehner defended calling President Obama's economic message "almost un-American," saying that the president is dividing middle income and wealthy Americans.

... Boehner reiterated that he does not believe President Obama has done enough to improve the economy to deserve re-election.

"The president doubled down on the same failed policies that have not worked," Boehner said. "If the president won't work with us to help create jobs, I'm sure the American people will elect someone who will."

I just caught part of Laura Ingram's show on the way to lunch and she informed me that the job numbers don't count because Michelle Obama once met with thug rapper Beyonce.

GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney on Friday accused President Obama of holding back the economy, arguing that the latest job-creation figures would be even better if Obama didn't occupy the White House.

As republicans lose their economy talking points the dark siren song of birtherism is going to be harder to resist.

Why use that when they have this from the actual GOP nominee?

House Speaker John Boehner weighed in on the jobs number, welcoming the news, but saying "we must do better." House Majority Leader Eric Cantor echoed Boehner's statement, saying "we should aim even higher."

To contrast Obama's saying, "Whoa, let's not get crazy here! That's good enough"?

Didn't Romney do that the other day when he said he didn't care about the poor or the wealthy?

Not to mention the big ole NOTHING they've got going on the foreign policy front.

Its a little hard to believe they will go the birther route, but you may be right. I don't think those ropes tying the GOP to the mast are tied nearly as tight as they think they are. They could easily lose control of the message as an Obama second term looks more and more like an inevitability.

We will see.

Once they've run short of reasons he shouldn't be president they'll go back to reasons he can't be president. I wouldn't expect Romney to stoop that low, but his supporters will.

Yeah, but Romney will tell an audience full of vampires that he hates the sun and then turn around and tell an audience of farmers that the sun is the greatest thing ever.

Mike_LowELL: Job creation is not a measure of job creation. Obama is not getting off the hook for Kosovo. Stop it, libs.

I think what we're seeing here is that the Republican Presidential primaries are buoying the confidence of the job creators thereby creating jobs. Things will only get better as the Republican primaries continue to stimulate productive debates.

gilgigamesh: Not to mention the big ole NOTHING they've got going on the foreign policy front.

What's weird is that they keep trying to push the "Obama is a soft appeaser" meme. Meanwhile, back on Earth, news stories break weekly about how Obama called down the fiery death on some terrorist, or sent helicopters full of bad-asses on a hostage raid where all the bad guys ended up shot, and all the hostages came home.

If anything, Obama has been hawkish, yet smart enough to avoid getting us bogged down in new ground wars.

You'll have surrogates slinging the really ugly racist shiat, which Romney will only half-heartedly "denounce" in a way that dogwhistles to his base that he really agrees.

I suspect that's the sort of enthusiasm we'll see from the electorate this fall. He's just that ... bad. I mean hes' terrible.

"This...*sniff* is great news."

I really do love this.

The GOP is in the awful position of having to keep people miserable for 9 months without seeming to be the cause of that misery. Good luck you terrible pricks.

I guess this is funny math. You have 300,000 - 400,000 new people filing for unemployment every week and only add 242,000 new jobs in a month. And unemployment goes down?

banana republic indeed

/remembers when the leftist scoffed at Bush's unemployment numbers because new hires could only land jobs at McDonalds. Wonders how many of Obama's jobs (that we have spent $5,000,000,000,000) are McJobs.

This is bad news.

For Obama.

Depends on how many companies guys like Romney and Cheney gutted and sent their jobs to China and India.

I would love to see the Republican candidates continue to debate who should be the 2012 nominee even after the election is over. It could be a great boon for the economy. Then again, so would "Throwing Taxbongo out on his ass."
