Okay, the entire Republican strategy, for over a year has been, the economy is a disaster because unemployment is marginally over that 8% rate. Now it is only very marginally UNDER 8% and their entire economic argument is blown??? It only shows what a facade the rate, and the argument, is.
The books were cooked because Oblameo got his butt kicked in the debate, plain and simple. 114,000 new jobs doesn’t even keep up with population growth much less affect the jobless rate.
“I just had this thought: what is it with Republicans and big birds? Remember Dick “Deadeye” Cheney and his little hunting accident, where he peppered his friend, a 78-year old lawyer, across the chess and face because he mistook him for a man-sized quail? Boy, do these people hate birds, except when they are being served by Chick-fil-a :-)”
