When I was living in Texas in the early 1980's and the oil industry was laying off geologists by the hundreds if not thousands there was a joke going around that went something like this. A laid off geologist went to apply for a job at McDonalds. The manager asked about education and the geologist said he had a Master's degree from a prestigious university. The manager shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but all our geologists have PhD's".

Well with Obamanomics it appears that life is imitating this humor as McD's is now looking a Bachelor's degree and two years experience. Of course before the affirmative action president we saw Bush derided for only creating jobs at McDonalds (which of course was a lie but why let the truth get in the way of a good sound bite?). Now under our current worthless president they are actually asking for applicants with degrees which tells you everything you need to know about his failed domestic economic policies......and he is doubling down with a new budget that includes even more tax increases. It is obvious his goal is to get a majority of Americans dependent on the govt and he is well on his way.

I know Archie, the U2 number is 7.6%........of course that only happened because another half million dropped out of the labor force. 88,000 new jobs is pathetic and doesn't come close to keeping up even with population growth. I give TOTUS credit, he said he was going to transform America and he has......into Europe and 10%+ unemployment being the norm. We used to expect more out of our president. But hey, we have lower expectations for him than any other president in the history of the country. Why is that? What is so different about him anyway? Archie refuses to answer that question for some reason. What is he hiding?
