Incredibly stupid comment.

Do you go to work before you get out of bed?

Simple logic.
But not surprised that some of our posters can't figure it out.

The problem with using a Rupie site.................

To respond to its goofy allegation re: "Liberal Media", all one must ask is:

What was Akres V Fox News all about?

Who supported Fox's contention that it could lie for financial reasons?

As to Obama's job's creation record, well, all we can say as Progressives is, "We told you so."

If the administration can talk about how many jobs they "saved" we can talk about how the recovery should be much further along.

“Sadly, Obama instead chose to exploit this tragic situation to advance his personal agenda of bigger, more expensive government – which has unemployment now skyrocketing to its highest levels in a quarter-century,” said Ferguson. “Because of Obama, our economic recovery has been seriously stunted and delayed.”

In the free market society, you need jobs in order to have something to legislate. Only under socialism, do legislation create jobs...

In order for your response to not be stupid, you wouldnt get out of bed on days you dont have to work.

If the WH claims they created or saved jobs they need more then their overly optimistic projection charts. Don't claim what you can't verify. They are in a good spot though as they can't be proved right and they can't be proved wrong.

I've always applauded Libertarians honesty as to process questions (esp, voting), but their sense of history- or lack thereof- is pretty overwhelming.

,

The problem is we elected (or thought we did, based on campaign) another FDR.

What we got was another Bill Clinton, or perhaps (sans sleaze) Grover Cleveland.
