Lots of "unexpected" news going on.

“Unexpected”

DRINK!!!

Especially after Obama cooks the books : )

Six years into Obama, and still, this is explained as “unexpected”.

Regulations are strangling businesses where more businesses are dying than are starting for the first time in 35 years.

Obamacare is siphoning the lifeblood out of companies.

Now Obama is talking about mandating paid sick leave by private companies.

And the increasing unemployment rate is “unexpected”?? Liberals fancy themselves as so smart, but the reality is that they are some of the dumbest people on the planet who are made even stupider through their blind worship of fascism.

Can’t be. The great Emperor Obama decrees!

And we have had only 2 weeks of the 2015 mandated "minor" health care tax increases! Wait until the end-of-month (January) paychecks come out with THOSE withholdings kept out of the economy. Gas prices are down, but that's to destroy the fracking, oil, and pipeline industries. Yet his actions to destroy those industries are the only thing propping up the rest of the country.

This may be good tactics. Lie about job creation for three months, get great press and then say “unexpected” results in the fourth month. That way only one month out of four is bad instead of the reality of four months out of four bad.

...unexpectedly...

I’m going to be totally shloshed before this administration is over.

Unexpected...There’s that pesky word again

Okay, we used to know that businesses in retail would hire more people during the "holiday" season. After the holidays, these people are no longer needed.

I've been shaking my head about the upbeat chatter concerning the increase in jobs the last couple of months; and, I'm talking to my computer telling it, they are temporary Christmas hires. Now, holiday is over, so is the temp job. As I said, we used to know about this or could figure it out.

You know, with all the lies coming from the regime, I'm surprised they just don't start making up numbers.

In other news, the white house reported today that the economy saw a sharp rise in employment with 6,345,768 jobs added.

” This may be good tactics.”

Oh it is......if one is evil, and Obama wrote the book on being evil.

[ArtDodger]

In other news, Eurasia is on its way to a glorious victory against Oceania. Work harder, Comrades! The end is in sight!

Unemployed being drilling crews let go as part of the Saudi/Obama war on domestic oil.

[Pecos]

Apparently economists are like meteorologists - they can keep being wrong and still stay employed.

Ah Pravda...

‘unexpectedly’? It’s winter, kids are all back at work, summer workers have left the workforce, and businesses are laying off because business is down I nthe winter- that’s not ‘unexpected’-

[Georgia Girl 2]

Gee so hard to believe especially since we just had 5% GDP growth last quarter and unemployment is down to 5.6%. How could that happen. :-)
