You're welcome...

Right........................

Baby boomers are not retiring for fear of lack of ability to support themselves due toe economic uncertainty. The numbers are as valid now as they were two years ago.

You are welcome. Carry on.

Baby boomers are not retiring for fear of lack of ability to support themselves due toe economic uncertainty. The numbers are as valid now as they were two years ago. Further, the unemployment numbers grossly underestimate the actual unemployment rate, as people who have "given up" looking for jobs are no longer included in the statistics. REAL unemployment is about 22%. Thanks Obama!

You are welcome. Carry on.

Hmmmm... what happened to the millions of jobs Obama promised... 4 million in 2010 alone.....

No wonder he's stopped making job growth promises.

So, at 117,000 per month he will achieve his 2010 promise in....... maybe 2013... but.. but ...but... he won't be there to take the credit, will he.

No we'll have a new President, and a new Fed Chairman who'll boost interest rates dramatically as Paul Volcker did under Reagan after being straitjacketed by Carter; that will unquestionably boost interest rates on savings for seniors and everybody else, and strengthening the dollar is bound to follow.

Furthermore, the price of oil will go right off the cliff, destroying many hedge funds in the process, while simultaneously placing trillions of dollars in revenue into the wallets of citizens from coast to coast, while ensuring yet another bailout for GM thanks to that worthless Obamamobile known as the Volt, which GM will bleed money on forever until its discontinued.

He ignores logic, facts, debate, & rational thought, immediately branding you as a racist bigot if you dare disagree with anything the annointed one has ever said, written or thought.
