Unless the left are lying about it all....which seems to be the case.
Simplistic thinking results in simplistic assessments.

Job well done.

Whoever is telling you that is wrong but we are doing better than we were during Gomer`s last 5 months when we were losing 750,000 jobs a month.

They say Obama said it and he's lying, but the reality is it's just a lie that was fed to them by some right wing blowhard and Obama has never claimed that we have some roaring economy where everyone who wants a job can find one. They're too dumb to tell the difference and realize who's lying to them; it helps that they have zero sources of factual information.

Wait, wait, wait.....you're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

Lefties keep saying how great the economy is.....the stock market at record levels, unemployment rates are down....yadda, yadda, yadda. BUT.....we need to extend unemployment benefits!

The fact is, 75% of jobs "created" were low paying part time positions.

The fact is, the worker participation rate is the lowest in history.....obama lovers don't want to live in reality....the condition is called "COGNITIVE DISSONANCE".

And there we go! Yet another right winger who makes up all these things that "loony libs" are supposed to be saying, too ignorant to have any idea that the "loony libs" have been saying nothing of the sort and it's really just a bunch of right wing manufactured BS fed to low information types to keep them outraged.

By obama, due to the fact that on the day before he left for vacation, he blathered on about how great the economy is doing, touting the stock market and the unemployment rate.....a couple of days later (while vacationing in Hawaii), he blasted the GOP for going on holiday without extending benefits.

Job well done by obama's handlers!

Huh? That is a fact, the economy getting better doesn't mean there is now magically no unemployment.

But you can believe whatever you want to believe. It is obvious no one is going to change your mind.

I never stated that there was "no unemployment".

I stated that since the economy is getting so much better, shouldn't unemployment benefits be winding down?

Depends, is it winding down for people who have experienced long term unemployment? Which that tends to be people who are older and closer to retiring.
