It certainly doesn't go one way, there are quite a few democrats who do the same thing. They will ignore negative data and jump all over positive data. When Bush was in office I'm sure they did the exact opposite.

Congratulations, you are exactly what this thread was started about. A perfect example of someone who is so rabidly partisan they will look at anything, like three solid months of job gains, and do what they can to distort it into something negative.

You are the same guy who posts that they don't trust gallup anymore when you see numbers from them you don't like, then turn around and start threads based on Gallup when you do like them.

You are the same guy who implies government figures that seem better as manipulated, then will point to any government stat he can find if it suits his utterly retarded warped-minded political crusade.

When we have 43 months in a row with over 8% unemployment, a net loss in the total US workforce, and 46 million people on Food Stamps, I don't see positive trends. When we create even a modest gain of 300,000 a moth for three months, then I'll say I see a positive employment trend, because even 150,000-200,000 a month is just keeping up with new people entering the workforce.

You libs are like dumpster divers who come across an unopened frozen TV dinner, and think its a sign of a new upward trend.

Perspective.

Nothing is perfect, but we're addressing the fact that a Republican can find nothing good in any situation other than that which he creates and spins to his benefit.

Nothing created by man is perfect. What Republicans lack in objectivity they more than make up for in negativity.

I know you love doomsday prognostications, fortunately for us, for as long as you've been spouting them, you've been wrong.

Laughing...at you
Mental midgets everywhere thank you for your kind words and your bolstering of their egos.

You don't play commentator and that's a good thing because you can't seem to remember what you espouse only a few hours before. Alziehiemers patients thank you for your kind words and your bolstering of their egos.

You can dismiss "doomsday" scenarios but if you refute them with nothing, nada, zilch, zero you "gets no daps" my looney friend.

Pushing aside the tactful replies...

I'm not a "lib" but by saying so you certainly do expose how much you are just another political partisan incapable of independent thought, just seeing the world's events in the lights of the political spectrum.

It is sad, really.

Objectivity??? Are you looking at the same economic stats that i the rest of us have have read???

We were not at 46 million Food Stamps recipients under Bush!!! 0bama has increased them by 348,000 per month!!!!!!! 0bama has created a fifty year high for people living in poverty, 0bama has 43 months of 8% unemployment!!!!


Wake up!!! Even if we added up every month of unemployment over 8% in this country, from Jan 1950 until Jan 2009 we would not be able to count 43 god damned months. No! 0bama has had the historical landmark of not only have 43 months, but having 43 months of over 8% unemployment in-a-row.

Do you get that!!! We have NOT had this months with of over 8% unemployment even if we added up all the moths for the last 62 years, much less had over 8% UE for 43 in a row. My god man, this economy has many historical milestones. THIS 0BAMA ECONOMY IS HISTORICALLY FREAKING BAD!!!! It's not a hiccup, it's not just kind of, sort of bad, it's historically bad, in many ways it has not been this bad in 50-60 years.

Enlighten me!

First of all, to be a partisan I would need to belong to a political party, which I do not. Sorry, but your stereotype of me is baseless.

Facts are pointless to the brainwashed. If we ended food stamps and had people lined up at food kitchens, it would literally be worse than the depression. Those cute little SNAP cards help mask the true extent of the economic damage he's done.
