 68,000 jobs ADDED, not 750,000 jobs LOST.

Is 68,000 a great number? No. But it is still a POSITIVE number, unlike the massive hemmoraging of jobs under W. It is important to keep this in perspective while wringing your hands. The media won't frame it in any sort of positive light because it doesn't serve their interests to do 

some DUmmies try to walk him through this:

36. How can this be explained any simpler?

The economy must create 150,000 jobs per month just to keep even. Anything below that is, in fact, a net negative for the employment level.

21. Additionally that 150K needed is an average, so let's consider which months there are graduates

entering, or wanting to enter, the workforce en masse..... May - June. So it's probably even worse for May and we'll see about June than those averages you mention show.

but he still can't grasp what they're trying to tell him.

I went to the link and it seems that the others have given up on getting him to see the point and are just trying to humor him now and what Atman concludes from that is that he won the argument.  Atman: meat, from the neck up.

Really, Atman, what particular single month during the Bush Presidency were 750,000 jobs lost?  Or are you comparing apples and oranges, here?

We allow 1 million legal immigrants a year to enter the country not counting the illegal immigrants. Stop all immigration until we have a labor shortage.

...and oh yes, cut off all welfare and other government freebies before restarting immigration again.

Is Pedro trying to say that 68,000 gained, is better that 750,000 lost?
Pedro is huffing on the white-out bottle again. 
Silly pedro, keep the white within the speech border lines.

Remember this is a person that thought himself smart to take an hour flight to Baltimore with a 2 hour layover and then a 2 hour flight from there to Orlando instead of a 2 1/2 hour non stop flight so he could rest his leg.

Just dumbass stupid is all one can say about him.

That was my question, too.

What was this "massive haemorrhaging of jobs under George Bush"?

When did that happen?  How'd I miss that?

Attrite (deport) the remaining illegals when they come afoul of any administrative or legal entanglement. They are the proximate cause of any infraction they are involved in.
For repeat deportees, drop them farther and farther away from our border until they don't return.
