I believe it may be too late for Obama and I think he knew that from the beginning. He has a better time shouting and whining and having adults remedy the problem.

If you dig into the jobs numbers, you'd see that almost half of the 120,000 net jobs added last month came from an industry that's known for paying pretty low wages: retail. That sector added 50,000 jobs in November. Those low pay jobs will likely go away in January. And over the past 12 months, wages are up just 1.8%. Through October, the consumer price index rose 3.5%. That's a big problem. Face it, the Obama economy sucks!

A Statistical Mirage! "Given the total distortions of reality with respect to not counting people who allegedly dropped out of the work force, it is easy to misrepresent the headline numbers. Digging under the surface, the drop in the unemployment rate is nothing but a statistical mirage. The official unemployment rate is 8.6%. However, if you start counting all the people that want a job but gave up, all the people with part-time jobs that want a full-time job, all the people who dropped off the unemployment rolls because their unemployment benefits ran out, etc., you get a closer picture of what the unemployment rate is. That number is in the last row labeled U-6. While the "official" unemployment rate is an unacceptable 8.6%, U-6 is much higher at 15.6%. Falling unemployment rate would normally be considered a good thing, but not if it is happening because 1,793,000 people stopped looking for work. Things are much worse than the reported numbers would have you believe. The entire economic picture is on very thin ice given the clear slowdown in the global economy"
