I was so excited, enthralled, beside myself with JOY when I heard the good news. But Republicans are acting like this totally came out of nowhere! How could this be! But the economy is so BAD!
Well, I've noticed this year that there are a lot more jobs available in my city (in my field) than during the past few years.
I heard on the news that the housing market is getting much better. New housing starts are on the rise.
I heard on the news that foreclosures were slowing down.
I heard on the news that Macy's plans on hiring THOUSANDS of temporary Christmas help this year.
Consumer confidence has been up for a few months, which perplexed "experts."
People in polls indicated they thought the country was headed in the right direction economically, which ALSO perplexed experts.
The place I work has hired over 25 people in the past year. I, myself, changed jobs this year (a middle aged worker...no problem finding a new job).
The stock market has been doing well all year.
So while the 7.8% number was a big surprise, it matches the good news I've been hearing, reading, and seeing this year. It's about time the UE number started matching the rest of the news!
Do I think that Obama would do something as dishonest as cause fake numbers to be released (even if he could, which he couldn't)? NO! There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in Obama's past that would indicate he's a lying, cheatin', son of a gun, who would defraud the country. Nothing. But I can see why Republicans would think that; they think that, because that IS something Romney and his thugs would do. We have SEEN Romney's character. He's not above lying to the people.

5. I don't agree......I agree with Thom Hartmann......
There is always uncertainly, sometimes more, sometimes less. I consider the "uncertainty" meme a RW talking point. As I stated, I think that the big spenders have been sitting on the money to keep the economy depressed and get President Obama out. Not so much a conspiracy, but silent collusion,
Things appear to be loosening up, partly IMHO because of the seeming inevitability of Pres Obama winning, and partly because of their own greed. Sitting on that money does not generate profits and dividends.
Yeah uncertainty is nothing but a RW lie. We made up the fact that taxes are going to skyrocket under 0bamacare, that food prices are up, and gas prices are up. We are lying when we say people aren't finding full time work. We totally made it up that families are struggling just to make it to payday.
You goons crucified Bush for unemployment in the 5 range yet the wise and great 0bama manages to get UE down to what it was when he got in office, with a lot of manipulation of the numbers, and we all should grab our prayer rugs, face the golf course that 0bama is at today and praise him.
