No, no! This isn’t what a recovery looks like! Mitt Romney told us so!

it’s disingenuous as it gets, for them to make that argument. Because for many years Republicans have characterized any discussion of the wealth gap as “class warfare”, and their only solutions for low wages and salaries are “learn new skills so you can get a better-paying job” and “work more hours”.

My local media had an article a press release about how low unemployment was making it tough for retailers to find seasonal employees. I was shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you!) there was no mention of heeding supply and demand and offering higher wages.

Yeah, Carly Fiorina never seemed to look at the reason unemployment hit women so hard in the first years of Obama’s term. It was because the men had already been picked off.

With numbers like these, what happens when unemployment dips down into 4% and the Republicans are still railing against the Obama economy? At which point does the media have to acknowledge it and push back? It’s already become ridiculous but eventually they have to recognize the president’s accomplishments.

Great news.
I really feel for the Red State citizens “led” by Bagger politicians who will either continue to work against the President OR take credit for things they should be thanking the President for. This goes doubly for G.O.P. voters.
Some says ago, I mentioned Dialectical Thinking.
I had been hoping that there would be some sort “bottom” (prelude to Reaction) for Republicans. I now realize (based on these insane candidates they are fielding for President and their continued political malpractice in Congress) that, internally for the Party, this has not arrived yet…Together with FOX lies and MSM torpor, no modifying force will come from those sectors either.
Barring some unforeseen event, that leaves some sort of epiphany hitting non-voters. Or maybe the off chance that one of the Manchurian Candidates Trump or Carson get the G.O.P. nomination and lead the Party to a Gotterdammerung slaughter, Executively, Congressionally, and Statewide.

One more thing con/bags…didn’t you say that Obamacare will kill the economy. Because it’s all about jobs with you fools, right?
How’s 5% (full employment) looking now?
Anyone that votes for a gop/bag next election is a G.D. fool.

Unless the economy goes into a recession over the next year, HRC is probably going to win the presidential election and she may be the nominee as early as February. Plus, she’s the candidate of the only major American political party not run by lunatics.

Obama was blamed for high gas prices, a very nutty argument from the baggers, and so he should get credit for low prices, no? No. Never.

I am encouraged that Bernie is still on the Campaign Trail…presently, he is acting in multiple roles…teacher, holding the course on a Progressive Narrative for other candidates, and, quite frankly, wing-man.

Oh, that’s right, ever since Obama failed to send the banksters on a death march to Alcatraz.
