Henry Payne for February 13, 2015

^^^ So sad.As always, Barry apologists on here can’t defend their hero’s horrible record so they say “but, but, but look over there!”.As a typical Lefty shill, Crosspatch recites “Faux News, CONservatives and sheeple” from his Protect Barry Playbook.Very original……lol

How long is your nose, Henry?

Incorrectly drawn. Hank left out the blood on his hands.

And Benghazi has been totally debunked by, guess who? Yeah, you got it (except for the likes of ConserveGov anyway) some six seperate Republican Congressional Hearings!!

But heck, they will still be trying when Hillery Clinton becomes president in 2017!!

A list of things the rightwing lied about. Not a single one of them played out. Henry has truly stepped over the line from slanted to insane.

We fully expect members of the executive and legislative branches to lie to us all the time. A respected news anchor however is supposed to tell the truth. Brian Williams is getting everything he deserves.

Haha! Good cartoon, Henry; keep ’em coming!

Benghazi??? Sheez, read the news.

In order to be legible, Henry had to hit just the low points on the list. It could have been a lot longer.

^ Breitbart, give me a break…if that’s your best source, you have no standing to criticize anyone’s “lies”, let alone the fabricated ones about Benghazi.

bbbbbbbbut BUSH……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….!

Listened to a few minutes of Rush going off on Williams again this morning, and of course, Obama as well, is Snerdly still alive by escpaing the growth of Limbaugh’s nose and not getting speared?

“….will go down in the books as the worst President we have ever had,….”. And how did you get this information from the future; The Amazing Criswell, or was it Carnac the Magnificent?

Harley: just a note: the right-wing lies on Benghazi have indeed been debunked, by none other than Ambassador Stevens’ family, a long time ago. Also “Under Fire” is a book written by former CIA guys giving an hour by hour detail of what happened, and that too debunks the entire right-wing lies, in considerable detail.

Bengahazi isn’t that the Republican lie. As far as health insurance the Republican have yet to come up with a plan. Obama rehashed on of their past plans. I say single payer.

ReFlex-76 said, about 23 hours That’s nice; officially, President Obama will be the best US President since FDR on 2017; unofficially, he already is.———————————————————————The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment

by Jim Clifton CEO of Gallup

Here’s something that many Americans — including some of the smartest and most educated among us — don’t know: The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we’re hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is “down” to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job — if you are so hopelessly out of work that you’ve stopped looking over the past four weeks — the Department of Labor doesn’t count you as unemployed. That’s right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news — currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren’t throwing parties to toast “falling” unemployment.

There’s another reason why the official rate is misleading. Say you’re an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 — maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn — you’re not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this.

Yet another figure of importance that doesn’t get much press: those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find — in other words, you are severely underemployed — the government doesn’t count you in the 5.6%. Few Americans know this.

There’s no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.

And it’s a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual’s primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity — it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen’s talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream.

Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America’s middle class.

I hear all the time that “unemployment is greatly reduced, but the people aren’t feeling it.” When the media, talking heads, the White House and Wall Street start reporting the truth — the percent of Americans in good jobs; jobs that are full time and real — then we will quit wondering why Americans aren’t “feeling” something that doesn’t remotely reflect the reality in their lives. And we will also quit wondering what hollowed out the middle class.
