White House Attempts to Spin Bad Jobs Report
reddogreport.com ^ | 6-3-11 | Brian O'Connor

Even though unemployment rose to 9.1% for the month of May, the White House wants you to believe this is good news. According to Obama economic advisor Austan Goolsbee, the country’s job situation is actually getting better.

Today’s employment report shows that private sector payrolls increased by 83,000 [54,000 net] in May and the unemployment rate ticked up to 9.1 percent.

There are always bumps on the road to recovery, but the overall trajectory of the economy has improved dramatically over the past two years.

The monthly employment and unemployment numbers are volatile and employment estimates are subject to substantial revision. Therefore, as the Administration always stresses, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report.

Subtract the 25,000-30,000 new hires at McDonald’s and you have a really pathetic employment number. Not a peep from the state-run media,though, sneering that these jobs are menial “hamburger flipping jobs,” as they most surely would be doing if a Republican were in office.

It would have been much worse if Bush was still president~!

After all it was almost 6% under Bush. He did something on purpose to make it go to 11 percent. But Nice wonderful Obama (PBUH) kept it to around 9%. Except when it was almost 10%.

I know he promised it would never go past 8% if we let him spend $trillions of “stimulus” but Bush was so evil he made it go past that even AFTER HE WAS PRESIDENT~! How evil is THAT~!!??!?!?!?

So it is STILL Bush’s fault, he’s so evil. Wasn’t Bush so evil?

That is why Obama got us out of Gitmo where that evil Bush got us. And afghanistan. And Libya. And Egypt -Bush caused Libya and Egypt and Sirya and Tunisia and Liberia after he was not even in office anymore too~!!

How can Bush BE SO EVIL!?!?!?!?!??

"...the overall trajectory of the economy has improved dramatically over the past two years."

Obama's people are the most brazen liars I have ever seen in public service. Every factual economic indicator since Obama was elected to office, is at odds with the spin from the White House and the media.

Bush to Obama: we want you to succeed (personaly or in terms of performance of America? One still wonders.)

In any case, Obama sure took that to heart and “succeeded”, like a bunch of rioters at Dunkin Donuts who break everything for a few free donuts, destroying and raping the machines for good.

This is what we get for an economy... a rape now and then, forgive and forget, don’t lose your power, keep being stuck on stupid, let the criminals run.

And isn’t it interesting how, since the last Birth-Death model adjustment was made in January (by which the BLS essentially admitted that 300K jobs previously assumed to have been created were in fact, illusory), the adjustment has been positive for each succeeding month of 2011?

If the vast majority of Americans aren't cognizant of that fact, and don't vote this dangerous moron out of office next year, this country will go to Phase Two. Guaranteed.

As Charles Krauthammer has said, 2012 is going to be about Evil Bush and white racism. The campaign is already set. It will be the most vile campaign in Dem history, and that’s saying something.

“Obama’s people are the most brazen liars I have ever seen in public service.”

Where is that howling media that used to attack Bush and his administration day in and day out?
The answer is clear. They work for Democratic Party but get their paychecks from the left wing papers and networks that employ them.
Disgusting and reprehensible.

Ms. Pelosi, is Bush still the worst jobs president since Hoover?

Ms. Pelosi thinks unemployment (unemployment compensation) stimulates the economy. Following that reasoning, it wouldn't surprise me that in the month(s) before the election, the unemployment rate will drop drastically because the Obama regime will classify anyone receiving unemployment compensation as being "employed".

Is this far reaching thinking? No, because it involves the same bunch of Socialists that with a straight face and no shame claimed that serious inflation didn't exist and proved it by eliminating gasoline and food prices from the basket of goods used to calculate the numbers.

Remember when they talked about Bush being “out of touch”?

No matter what the nightly news is claiming, someone sitting at home without a job whose friends are also unemployed is not going to buy this. Someone working at a marginal job because at least it’s a job is not going to buy this. Thanks to socialism, that’s a huge number of dissatisfied voters, and they will all blame Obama, all the more so because he’s so detached from it all, enjoying his golf outings while they are taking home less per week than it costs to play one round.
