397,000 is for all purposes the same a 400,000. Note also the previous months was numbers were corrected higher. \The number 400,000 has no meaning to the recovery. It is just a number.

Hope and Change: Gas Prices Have Gone Up 67 Percent Since Obama Became President Ah, January of 2009. Hope was in the air, but more importantly, gas was under two dollars a gallon. Since then gas prices, have gone up 67 percent and it's an ominously upward trend. Interestingly enough, the Heritage Foundation also took a look at the first 26 months of Bush's presidency -- gas only rose 7 percent during that time frame. Now obviously turmoil in the Middle East has something to do with our current astronomical gas prices, but keep in mind that by this point in the Bush presidency 9/11 had happened... weeklystandard.com

DOJ Gets Smacked Again For Dragging Feet on Obamacare Lawsuit On Jan 31 Judge Roger Vinson threw out the entire Obamacare bill, based on the unconstitutionality of the mandate to purchase insurance. The government's reaction to the ruling was to stall by asking the Judge to clarify his ruling. Last week they got their clarification right between the eyes, as the Judge agreed to stay his ruling only if the DOJ files an appeal of his ruling either to a superior court or to the Supreme Court and they ask that the case be expedited. In his ruling, Vinson repeated what he has said previously — that “the citizens of this country have an interest in having this case resolved as soon as practically possible...... That was until the 11th Circuit respond to the DOJ's filing. Not only did it reject the DOJ’s slow-walk schedule, but it implemented an even more expedited schedule than the one requested by Obamacare’s challengers! All briefs are scheduled to be filed by May 25, 2011. The court also rejected the government’s contention that it would need more time if the states brought a cross appeal. And the court was firm in its schedule, clarifying that “[n]o extensions of this briefing schedule will be granted.” Finally, the court noted that the request for full court review was still pending, and that the resolution of that motion would not affect the expedited briefing schedule. The Obama administration is still playing games, but hopefully the courts are on to their game. The reason for the administration's slow-down strategy is two-fold. First it is much easier for governments to build bureaucratic systems than tear them down. The longer it takes for a final decision on Obamcare, the more developed the supporting systems and the harder it will be to tear them down. The hope here is the same, the arrogant stance that those stupid common people who don't understand their bill, will finally appreciate that government knows best, the closer to final implementation the plan gets. yidwithlid.blogspot.com
