Well, Congress could have passed a jobs bill and spent monies on re-building crumbling bridges and VA hospitals. Instead they chose to pout and stomp their feet because people liked the blah man more than them. AND those fabled job creators, could, you know, actually create some fucking jobs instead of maximizing personal profit at everyone else's expense.

Remember how back in early 2009 any 200 point drop in the volatile DOW proved that Bamz was personally destroying the economy? Good times!

Now that it's climbed from roughly 6500 to over 17,000 it obviously doesn't even count as a measure of economic health and is not worthy of mention.

Not to sound too 1%, but I want to be unemployed -- retired, that is. I just need some Obamacare 'til I can get Medicare. But the Repubicans <i>still</i> say they're going to get rid of every word. I don't believe them anymore. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me 53 times, you're a fool.

If Romney was president, the "real" unemployment rate would be different because they would go back to not counting it like they did until noon on Jan. 20th, 2009.
