I don't think unemployment has been over 8% for this long, ever.

We need a fresh start.

As I post this money.com's headline is "Stocks rallied nearly 2% as investors welcomed a stronger-than-expected July jobs report" and the Dow is up 230 points.

Are these idiots seriously rallying? Unemployment would be 11% if the labor force participation rate was as high as it was when Obama took office.

Hah you guys believe this stuff? Its just Obama's regime manipulating the numbers to make the unemployment rate go down as we lead up to the election.

Oh, wait.

Dow is up because of anticipation of another round of quantitative easing by the Fed due to the lousy unemployment rate. Expect it soon....well before the election. Also the jobs increase barely exceeded the population growth....not so good

What's your point? Is it going to get under 8 by election day?
