Is the "corner turning", "V-shaped economy" and "even better good new" some have touted?

Jobs are THE key to a recovery and so far, we just don't see it.


So, it ate up the jobs they said they just created and then some, I see.
1 step forward and 5 steps back.

"Today is an encouraging day. We learned that the economy actually produced a substantial number of jobs instead of losing a substantial number of jobs. We are beginning to turn the corner," Obama told workers at a battery components plant in North Carolina

Always expect the unexpected with Obama.

Why isn't the MSM reporting this fact ?

The American people deserve to know the FACTS, the DATA, not some cherry picking sugar coated article that makes it seem this is a temporary setback to a roaring recovery.

Give us the facts straight up and ALL of them. Let the people decide if there's green shoots or not.

This is not doom and gloom, just the facts and truth. You don't want it sugar-coated, do you?
