Employment numbers were good - well, not good but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. BC, I can't handle authors who are disingenuous. Those employment numbers were excellent. Calling them not good.....well is just plain crap.

Perverse shit; when Barack took office the US economy was losing 1,100 jobs an hour,170,000 jobs a week or around 750,000 jobs a month. In a little over one year the US economy is gaining over 400 jobs an hour or around 68,000 a week or around 290,000 jobs a month. Everyone knows it takes miles to turn around an aircraft carrier. Do these ditzy pundits think turning around the US economy can be done in a couple of months? Assume some further positive momentum in hiring as we do forward and we can reduce the excess unemployment (around 7,500,000 people above what is considered full employment) quite rapidly. Do not believe the BS floating around, do your own research. Companies are earning more and therefore are hiring more There are always hidden risks, such as how bad the euro zone problems turn out to be, will china's economy falter, etc. - these are true but to try and put a bad face on an amazing turn around is wrong and short sighted. .
