Sorry, I won't accept mediocracy and preent it is adequate....this President doesn't get it, the Govt. doesn't create jobs..the private sector does. The govt. only helps set conditions for growth, and it is doing a lousy job now....
Nice setting, standing in a hardware store. Yeah Mitt, we all want to sling paint and nails for $6.00 per hour
This guy is so out of touch it's unreal. He has no shot.
There's nothing positive about the jobs report, but this is hardly Obama's doing. The republicans have repeatedly blocked any attempts to expand the stimulus -- which was clearly working. Republitards love unemployment, and they love low wages.
Of course as much as I'd love to keep blaming this solely on the republican party, I just can't. I blame American voters. We need to take responsibility for our own misery. We kept electing idiots like Bush and the republicans in congress, year in and year out, all because we were so upset over a cumstain on the white house carpet. And we got justices who legally sanctioned the sale of our democracy to the highest bidder. We have no democracy anymore, and just like the Germans in the 1920s and 30s, we've basically signed off on this. This country's screwed.

Last year, the Federal Reserve allowed Bank of America to move a huge portfolio of dangerous bets into a side of the company that happens to be FDIC-insured, putting all of us on the hook for as much as $55 trillion in irresponsible gambles. Then, in February, the Justice Department's so-called foreclosure settlement, which will supposedly provide $26 billion in relief for ripped-off homeowners, actually rewarded the bank with a legal waiver that will allow it to escape untold billions in lawsuits. And this month the Fed will release the results of its annual stress test, in which the bank will once again be permitted to perpetuate its fiction of solvency by grossly overrating the mountains of toxic loans on its books. At this point, the rescue effort is so sweeping and elaborate that it goes far beyond simply gouging the tax dollars of millions of struggling families, many of whom have already been ripped off by the bank – it's making the government, and by extension all of us, full-blown accomplices to the fraud.
So the Harvard economics professor who stated on CNN this morning that the jobs report is positive, he doesn't know what he's talking about?
He's pretty much alone in his opinion. Everyone else thinks those numbers stink and hope the Fed might react with some action.
Don't go by one person's opinion.
