Wow, only 203,000 this month. Must mean Obama saved 300,000 jobs. Happy days are here again!

But I bet the Messiah SAVED 4,675,967 jobs...all in the last month....

What?? It's not verifiable?

Ask Biden, he'll verify it.

The US economy shed 216,000 jobs in August....

Well, since the country hasn't stopped functioning, those 216,000 weren't doing much anyway. This will just make our economy a leaner, meaner, fightin' machine.

Sigh.

They were expecting 225,000 and the number appears to be "only" 216,000.

That's 9000 "less than expected". Great.

Meanwhile, the June numbers just got adjusted up 20,000 higher.
And the July numbers were adjusted up 30,000.

Does ANYONE think that these new number for August as truly "less than expected"????? Wait a month, then see that the adjusted number is higher than the 225,000 that was "expected".

It's still getting worse than they were expecting. It's not turning around.

It seems like when they post the job losses each month, two months later they revise them upward.

The numbers are being fudged under the magic and administration killing 10%. The .003 error is not statistically calculable. The attempt at precision is a joke.

How many dead presstitutes will it take to raise the number above 10%?

I will bet you these numbers are wrong. I heard somewhere that they saw duplication of names from people who did find work. I'll be its over 10% and the POWERS that be a keeping it down for Obama.

They don’t mention how many fell off the end of the wagon and are no longer listed as “unemployed”.
There just fewer jobs left to cut and govt hasn’t cut any net jobs.
It is interesting that we have a lot of remodels going on within two blocks and most of them are being done by contractors on their own house, or a relative working on the house.

Leaner and meaner perhaps. Unless the lean and mean productive members of society are unemployed, and the number employed by the government increases. Not good.

OBAMAVILLE

Gett’n a head fake,
watchin' msn’s take;
All of their pundits oozing foul oil.
Clean’n my six gun on my front porch swing.
Felling my blood--
It’s beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know it's Obama’s fault.

There’s no rhyme or reason,
They are all commitin’ treason
With nothing to show but a brand new tax or two.
But they are real beauties,
Despotic duties,
how they got passed I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Obamaville,
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that it’s Bush we should blame,
Now I think,-- hell with them it’s Obama’s fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top;
Cut my heel, but I just cruise on back home.
Because no medical care will the doctors render
They say there’s little service I can tender
And there’s no need for me to hang on.

Wasted away again in Obamaville
Searchin' for a job so I can earn my salt.
Some people claim that Bush is to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that Bush is to blame,
And I know because of my vote it's my own damn fault.

It's all in God's hands now.

I'm not particularly religious, but I am starting to wonder if we are being judged

Why, that is amazing.
Every morning when I wake up, I see quick financials on Yahoo.
The headlines say the economy is now so rosy and markets up, but you read the fine print, and it just is not so.
I still say that the markets are no indicator, as you have Soros and the computers pumping and dumping every day.

I read the small print, and talk to people...All points to disaster.

Since they are missing the monthly unemployment numbers by at least 20,000 every month, this month’s 216,000 will be revised to at least 236,000 next month. How dumb do they think we are?
The important fact is that unemployment is now 9.7%, roughly twice what it was when Pres. Bush was in office. The university dweebs who trying to run this economy, when they haven’t run anything before in their lives, are failing big time. It would have been wise to have at least one businessman among BO’s “czars,” but they couldn’t risk that he would question why capitalism is being discarded in favor of socialism.

Oh, stop. Don’t you read Newsweek, house organ of the Democratic Party? They had a big story telling us the recession was over earlier this summer so why pay attention to “inconvenient facts” like stupendously high and rising unemployment?

It should be obvious by now to folks with brains that are actually working and logical and reasonable that the Obummer administration as well as the democrat members of Congress have absolutely no idea on how to really fix the economy and fix it in such a way as to really make it thrive, namely the free market, capitalistic, pro-business, tax-cutting, reduce government spending that is required for economic stability and growth. This administration and the democratic members of Congress are so steeped, brainwashed and indoctrinated in their Marxist Socialist ideology that they cannot do what they need to do to help the country get out of this deepening recession.
