Man, unemployment rate way down, stock market booming, “Help Wanted” signs everywhere I look, Gas at $1.60/gallon, 15 million people now have Health Care, Renewable Energy rapidly increasing in % of use as it’s cost plummets.
If this is what a Muslim, Kenyan, UN-Blue Helmets/Black Helicopters, Fascist yet Incompetent Dictator government looks like. Bring it on.
Thanks Obama!

Yes, more proof that there are in fact jobs Americans just won’t do, despite what Republicans say.

There’s only one conclusion, then. What’ll happen next is that everyone in the rightwing media - Fox News, Fox News, Breitbart, NR, Pajamas Media, Red State, Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Joe & Mika - and the Republican-owned majority of mainstream media news organizations - WSJ, the WaPo editorial board, Associated Press, CNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC - will all come together as one to say … FAKE! It’s all been FAKED! The Fed under Janet Yellen is controlled by the White House! It’s the Big Lie!

Yeah, but the only thing important to Americans anymore is guns. Since Obama took all of them and banned everything but slingshots, it’s only a matter of weeks before the feds roll in to implement Sharia Law before he’s out of office.

True story. I read the comments section on Breitbart.

Not really. It’s off quite a bit over last year’s highs.

And that’s why.

I just wonder how long they can keep using the whole “this doesn’t include the people who have stopped looking for work and are not included in the numbers” argument. I think full employment in our economy is considered to be somewhere between a 4 and 5% unemployment rate, so it may be time for all those media outlets to come up with another lie.

This is very good news for John McCain!

And why doesn’t The Post run an article based on that article to show how wrong the GOP was/is?!? Post: “Nah, don’t want to confront the GOP with facts; might upset them. But unclassified emails on Hillary’s server? Front page, top of fold, pronto! Got to spin anything against the Democrats and give the GOP a pass!”

Barack Obama: shitty Marxist. Fails at destroying capitalism.

Well, since all their news reporting is fake, then they should just tell it like it is.

I do not recall the media using that statement when Shrub was president even though the methodology to calculate the unemployment rate remains the same per the Dept. of Labor.

The stock market is still more than double than it was when Shrub left office (the only president to leave office with the stock market lower than when he took office). As a result, 401k plan have recovered since Obama took office.

If Romney was President the media and the Republicans would be crowing about the “Romney Recovery”. Instead all we hear are the fact free Republican Presidential candidates rail against “job killing Obamacare”.

And have lost quite a bit in the last couple of months. Jus’ sayin’

Thanks, Obama!

That’s right–if you want government to run well, elect Democrats that know that government can work–if you work it. Can’t happen under the current GOP death wish philosophy,

The fundamentals of the economy are indeed strong. The fact that Bernie Sanders is running away from that leaves me perplexed and more than a little frustrated.
