<<<Life does not suck.... theres much to be thankful for>>>> Absolutely. Sorry, I thought my sarcasm was obvious. In my part of the world the economy is good - are there some parts of the country hurting? Of course. But threading the needle to a healthy economy without screwing things up like inflation is a real accomplishment. I give Obama credit and so should you. .......Now; things could go tits up tomorrow and/or Europe could implode derailing an improving economy - BUT to suggest it is not recovering is pure fantasy.

As far as the report goes.... you can fool some of the people some of the time..... It's ironic that a report, that ONLY 8.3% are out of work, is ballast enough to make the liberals thump their chests and jump for joy. Of course the market will take this red meat tidbit and run the numbers up; only to ride the coaster back down on god knows what kind of news. Let Steve have his moment of "See, it's not that bad, at all"! First of all, everyone knows that the numbers are skewed lower than reality. In due time, sooner I fear rather than later, we will all be shown (via repetitive and boring TV commercials) a complete catalog of obama's accomplishments/failures. I suspect the failures will overshadow the win(s). Then is the time to begin asking yourself the real question; are you satisfied with this man as a non leader? Or, is it time for REAL change? To me, the answer is already obvious; any Republican candidate now in the running.
