Hey kids, guess what time it is! It’s job creation time! Which means it’s time to bring back that sexy economic data source, the Bikini Graph! In this episode, we learn that the unemployment rate remains at 5.8%, the lowest it’s been in over six years. That sound you hear is the GOP demanding President Obama’s impeachment for allowing this to happen on his watch. Jobsghazi!!!!
As always, red columns point to monthly job totals under the Bush administration, while blue columns point to job totals under the Obama administration:
Via Steve Benen at The Maddow Blog, here’s more on the new report from Bureau of Labor Statistics, including how U.S. job growth soared, topping 300,000. The private sector added 314,000, and the public sector added 7,000. “Where are the jobs?” the GOP asks. Why, right here, you crankpots. Or is that “crackpots”? I retort, you deride:
All told, this is one of the best jobs report Americans have seen in many years. … Oh sure, that’s easy for Benen to say. But what about all those tax increases and the way Obamacare has destroyed jobs and the entire country? Huh? What about that, suckah? It remains very difficult for President Obama’s critics to explain these numbers: the hiring boom is underway after tax increases and full implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Oh. Tee and hee. In the past year, we’ve added over 2.73 million jobs overall and 2.66 million in the private sector. Say it with me now:
We just can’t win, I overheard a specific person in the party say the following…”This won’t matter, Obama will still get blamed because we’re not at 4%”
And the scary thing is that normally this news would be great, but in the weird political world we live in, I still get the feeling people will blame Obama. He was recently blamed by a large majority or Republicans ( I mean people who live in Louisiana) for Hurricane Katrina…
Lordy lordy…
You mean the GOP wrong about everything … what a shocker. GOP Scum.
Scum… is being kind.
Good point…even most scum has a purpose ..
Gottalaff, Libtard would explain you you troll.
You know what’s really ironic (you may have to look that word up, you don’t sound too bright) about your comment, Zach? The fact that you, a troll, are projecting your trollitude onto the person who wrote the post (a co-editor, the polar opposite of a troll).
Know what else is ironic? The person you’re calling a troll is banning you from commenting again.
Enjoy your ignorance, Zachy!
