The socialist media is already trying to cover their asses.  They'll turn on the Obamessiah soon.

the honeymoon will be short.  they have to remind him, as my mom said, "i brought you in, i'll take you out".  he will be so beholden to special interests, it's not even funny.

Remember pelosi riding in on an ass and being ridden out on hers?

The MSM is truly liberal: they are racist as hell and only care about their own ass and will throw anyone and everyone under the bus to maintain their positions of power. There is no truer definition of a liberal.

Thom Hartmann has been doing some work on this idea that corporations "create" jobs.

It's a vile supply side meme.

Demand creates jobs.

Thom Hartmann is about as stupid as they come.  Whenever I want to listen to someone who uses himself as his own authority, TH is the one with which to listen.

What Thom conveniently and consistently misses is that while demand for products and services might create jobs, unless someone is willing to invest capital to create the product or carry out the service, all the demand in the world won't do you any good.  He just says you need demand and capital is insignificant.  But, he's stupid.

Well, while I know the situation there is much better than it was a couple of years ago, keep your head down, sir.
I plan to keep low.  The good thing is that as a civilian, I'm not expected to go under the wire.  If they need me somewhere, they fly me there.

Yep, but since not many people have the first good clue as to how the food in there local grocery store "magically" appears there, we have DUmp monkeys.  It fits in neatly with their two other idiotic theories.  The first that the wealth is limited, when it is not in terms our minds can understand.   The second that anyone who makes a profit from an employees work is a thief.

My FIL never finished high school.  He owns a cabinet making factory now, and he owned  painting company in the past.  I'll bet he knows more about how the economy works than just about all the DUmmies put together.
