Kenneth, FYI - It takes about 125,000 new jobs a month just to keep up with population growth and hold the unemployment rate stable. It could take up to 300,000 new jobs a month to reduce the unemployment rate significantly. But the fact remains that jobs are still being lost thanks to Obama.

The Left's Rants Are Delusional investors.com But what powerful hallucinogen inhaled by the left induces the mental fantasy that makes them believe: Spending nearly a trillion dollars in "stimulus" money "created or saved" 3.5 million jobs? A "tax cut" means giving checks to the nearly 40% of the work force that pays no federal income taxes? Racism drives the Tea Party/conservative/right-wing criticism of a left-wing black president — who received more of the white vote than John Kerry, in every age demographic, and who at one time enjoyed an approval rating of almost 70%? Government can "invest" in "green jobs of the future" better than can the private sector, can pick winners and losers better than the marketplace, and can do this while not rewarding those with political influence or punishing those without it? The rich pay no taxes — even though the top 1% of income-earners pay nearly 40% of all federal income taxes? Tax cuts only benefit the rich — even though they disproportionately pay the income taxes (see above)? Federal and state budget problems can be solved by simply raising taxes on "the rich" and making them pay "their fair share"? Governors' attempts to rein in public-sector compensation — because it vastly exceeds private-sector counterparts' — constitute an "assault" on "all unions"?

I was eating lunch today with my 10 year old nephew when I asked him, "What day is tomorrow?" He said, "It's President's Day"... I then asked "What does that mean..?" ... I was waiting for something profound... He said "President's Day is when Obama steps out of the White House and if he sees his shadow, we have 2 more years of high unemployment."

Just think of all the lawyers who get hired to defend Wisconsin union steward who are arrested for intimidation, extortions, threats and assault just to collect dues. Of course the unions treasury will be further depleted by lawsuits against these thugs. It will be a hay day for lawyers!

Seems as if the market does not agree with you or your assessment of the economy.It is said the stock market is 6 to 9 months ahead of the economy. In fact I would say the market is saying brilliant Barry will have a few problems ahead. With his leadership abilities and his decision making abilities I am sure he will prove himself to the stupid american people just what a dolt he really is. He really is a great ponderer. I ponder if he is pondering this? stockcharts.com stockcharts.com Look out below! citizen chartseer stockcharts.com
