Archie ... so we are seeing the weak recovery bounce along the bottom ... watch for Obama's blame game to start. Since he is just a weak weak man, he will never take responsibility for his own failed economic agenda ... it will always be someone else's fault. Yet when something positive comes out, he certainly loves trying to claim credit.

They are actually trying to blame sequestration......no really, I am not kidding.........govt will spend billions more in 2013 than in 2012 even with sequestration but this somehow magically caused half a million people to leave the labor force in one month. Look at the labor participation graph in my post below. It is absolutely damning......assuming of course you have the same level of expectations for our current president as for past ones. For some reason white liberals and the govt media (redundant I know) don't have very high job performance expectations for the current president........very strange......

where near the end it is pointed out that the January figure has been revised up by 29,000 and the February figure up by 32,000 from the previous report? Interesting that no on has mentioned the more positive bright spots . I have also gone back to take a quick look at some of the forum postings of late 2008 and find scant evidence of doom and gloom condemnations of the 700,000 to 800,000 losses month after month. Can't imagine why.
Hypocrisy by any other name still smells funny.
Dismal indeed, but put in the context of the "disastrous" zero gain for last July which was eventually revised upward to a merely "dismal" gain of around 85,000, perhaps not that significant to the overall and long haul picture. It is too early to tell.
OK...bring on the "libtard" abuse!!

obama was the only one shooting off his mouth saying he was going to fix it. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, "libtard." It was fixed alright, 15% of the people in America are on food stamps. Of course judging from the Atlanta school system it's very understandable. Bet they get a pass on their minor testing indiscretions too.

But if the silver lining in all this is old numbers revised upward then have at it. But too early to tell?????? We are supposedly five years into a recovery!!!!! As for looking back to the Bush days, I do not recall anyone denying we were in the midst of a recession and that there were job losses. The debate was about who was responsible for the housing market collapse that led to the recession (which of course we were right about the blame being on CRA, Fannie and Freddie). And the difference then was we were talking about 700,000 people losing their jobs because of a recession. Now we have 700,000 people giving up all hope of ever finding a job, allegedly during a recovery!!! Can't you see the vast difference?
But Archie, here is the main issue. We are 5 years into the recovery and the employment picture is abysmal.....dismal is too kind a word. This is the worst recovery since FDR and it is because TOTUS is replicating all the failed policies of FDR. I give Obama voters a pass in 2008. They wanted a black guy and took a hope on change. They were war weary. McCain was a lousy candidate. The govt media did their job like the sycophants that they are. But to have reelected him in 2012 after 4 years of objectively bad results is inexcusable. And no, I am not talking about you and the other 25% of Americans that hate what this country represents and wants it cut down to size. I am talking about the others that voted for him for whatever inane reason they had. Well we have three more years before we can be rid of this pestilence. And if the voters give the House and the Senate back to the Dems in 2014, something that they are more than stupid enough to do, then he can finish the job of ruining us.
So no libtard abuse........just the facts and hard, cold reality. At least you didn't insult our intelligence by claiming the numbers were good. Now if you could find a way to figure out that Obama is a miserable failure of a president we will be getting somewhere. You can admit it Archie. You can hold him to the same standard as all the white guys that preceded him. That in and of itself does not make you a racist. They will call you one, but it's just not so. Low expectations, the soft form of bigotry......

Why should the head of Atlanta schools take a hit for this cheating scandal? Why is she being held to such a high standard when Obama is not? This just doesn't seem fair to me. That should be the defense of all the black administrators and teachers indicted in this scandal!
At least we now understand why the school system is so pathetic. Going from ~20% pass rate to over 80% in one year. Now that is pretty dumb to think they could get away with that..........but that's the same lack of critical thinking skills that got this country into our current mess with TOTUS anyway. Anyone want to bet me $100 that every single one of those indicted are Democrats and voted for Obama twice? Or maybe three or four times........ I know why I live in Cobb County..........

Too early to tell??????? Be serious. 495000 disappeared from the labor force. Dropped out. Not bothering to even look for work. Labor participation rate sits at 63.3% of eligible workers. This number has not been seen since Carter's days.1 in 7 are on food stamps. When Bush left office, 31million, now 47 million receiving fs's.. Asian unemployment 5%, Hispanic 9% and AA over 13%. Where is the Congressional Black Caucus when you need them? 9 Million of those from ages 20-64 (5%) are on disability. Good luck in getting them back to wanting to work again. And to top it off, the top 1% of wage earners pays 37% of ALL income taxes and the top 50% pay 98% of all income taxes. Why should half the wage earners free load off the other half? I say it is absolutely clear that this administration has set about to make laziness and idleness attractive in order to garner votes. Deplorable. Archie, please tell me that you can state with all intellectual honesty that these statistics are attractive to you.

And, if he continues unabated, he is going to disarm the citizenry to prevent us from "reducing the size of government".

Remember when 911 was Bush's fault after only being in office for 9 months but now after four plus years nothing is Obama's fault. It is truly astounding to me that the left thinks so little of TOTUS that his standard of performance is next to nil. It is really sickening to see how far they will go to give this guy a pass. No one is more racist than a guilty white liberal. Low expectations, promoting and even celebrating the millions of black babies murdered in the womb because their parents are too stupid to raise them and so on.
The soft bigotry of low expectations.......
