Once again we get a dismal jobs number from our government. So few jobs were created that we aren’t even keeping up with population growth! And once again Obama tells us not to pay any attention to those numbers.
Pay no attention to the man behind that curtain!
What is it they say in Obama’s world? Tell a lie loud enough and long enough and it becomes fact? This must be the President’s mantra at least where it concerns the importance of the dismal jobs numbers we’ve seen over the last four years. OIW notes that over the last 41 months of stagnant employment numbers hovering near 8 percent Obama has told us not to pay any attention to those bad jobs reports over and over and over again.
Like the perpetually frightened Wizard of Oz, Obama uses his bully pulpit to warn us to “pay no attention to the jobs report behind that curtain.”
After all the billions he spent on “stimulus”, just look at the lies, won’t you? (These all from the White House website, too)
June 2012: “Therefore, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report and it is informative to consider each report in the context of other data that are becoming available.” (LINK: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/07/06/employment-situation-june)
February 2012: “Therefore, as the Administration always stresses, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report; nevertheless, the trend in job market indicators over recent months is an encouraging sign.” (LINK: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/03/09/employment-situation-february)

October 2011: “The monthly employment and unemployment numbers are volatile and employment estimates are subject to substantial revision. There is no better example than August’s jobs figure, which was initially reported at zero and in the latest revision increased to 104,000. This illustrates why the Administration always stresses it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report.” (LINK: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/11/04/employment-situation-october)
July 2010: “Therefore, it is important not to read too much into any one monthly report, positive or negative. It is essential that we continue our efforts to move in the right direction and replace job losses with robust job gains.” (LINK: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/08/06/employment-situation-july)

What? That the black president doesn’t get the same treatment the last white president got?
Yeah, lots of people have noticed….

Again with the ‘race card’? That was so yesterday. And as for treatment, what about the constant MSM drumbeat of failure of the economy under Bush when unemployment was running between 4-5%?
More Kool Aid for the SpinMiester?

Oh, and all those quotes and links are from your Obamassiah’s own website.

Hey if the black President had the unemployment rate that the white President had no one would be complaining.
It’s about he unemployment not the skin color. To bad the racist Grumpy can’t see beyond the skin color.

If it wasn’t unemployment it would be something else. Something else Bush did too, but oh, can’t let the black man Barack HUSSEIN Obama get away with it.

So you are admitting that no matter what we object to that EVEN when it is an objection based on substance you ALWAYS see race before you see anything else.
This is nothing less than a confession of your own racism.

But it IS about unemployment. And poor job growth. And decisions which FUBAR the economy, whether intentional or not.
Hell, even that nut-site Infowars/Prisonplanet’s figuring it out.
Of course, they’re truthers… but if you go by the saying even a broken clock is right twice per day, it might be time for them to get SOMETHING right.
I think Obama figured he could learn to be President on the job – with no applicable experience beforehand. Poor sap didn’t realize just how little he knew that was applicable to the job.

Little experiment here. Imagine Bush had the unemployment numbers that Obama has. Would the media be cautioning to not put too much stock in those numbers? You know the answer.

And Obama kills another 1000 jobs with a stroke of the pen
The lobbying group for the city governments said Friday that the $105 billion transportation bill that will be signed by President Obama is proof that bipartisanship is still possible in a very divided Congress.
Lawmakers in both chambers voted by large margins last week to approve the transportation bill, which provides funding for road and transit projects for the next two years. The measure is the first new transportation spending bill approved by Congress since 2005.
The Washington, D.C.-based National League of Cities said the bill could be a harbinger of things to come in the legislative process if Congress continues working together.
A bipartisan bill, voted on and backed by both Republicans and Democrats….but oh, it’s all Obama’s fault.
He’s black you know…
“The U.S. House of Representatives today approved a major transportation bill by a vote of 373 to 52.”

Obama hasnt signed any budget. As I said. Bush signed the budgets (and the right has howled bloody murder because of it). The left blames him. Obama signed this bill yet Grumpy is saying he has nothing to do with whats in it and Obama is completely innocent. Double standard much..

The “roll-your-own” people were in business to bypass the high taxes placed on cigarettes. Apparently there was a tax loophole which allowed people to roll their own and not pay the tax.
Another abusive tax loophole closed.
The machines are used by customers who buy loose tobacco and paper tubes from the shop and then turn out a carton of finished cigarettes in as little as 10 minutes, often varying the blend to suit their taste. Savings are substantial – at $23 per carton, half the cost of a name-brand smoke – in part because loose tobacco is taxed at a lower rate.
They were in business due to tax loophole. Now they are classified as cigarette manufacturers. The fact that the customer provided the labor was just a means to avoid paying the cigarette tax.
Isn’t it interesting how once you know the facts you can see that really it’s just Obama’s skin color that has some people so upset?

I see Grumpy is down to the race card and nothing else trying to defend Barry Obama’s monumental ineptitude.
Ironically enough though, he is correct this time. He just doesn’t know it.
The black man in the white house, as Grumpy likes to put it, is getting different treatment than the white man who last inhabited it. The black man is getting a pass.
The black man has a national media that’s doing it’s best to sugarcoat everything that Obama has been screwing up. Either that, or ignoring anything that may negatively affect the giant ego in the Oval office.
Looking back, Barrack Hussein Obama himself criticized W for a monthly jobs report where it was announced that the economy had added 310,000 jobs and unemployment was at 5.6 percent.
As WTH wrote, Obama has lied to us for years about jobs. Truth is Obama lies about everything and that is something no one can ever accuse W of ever having done.
But Grumpy is right, they are treated differently. Just not the way he thinks.
And yes, people are noticing.

“President Obama, at his second campaign stop Friday following a dismal June jobs report, dropped a line from his speech in which he cited the faint job growth as a “step in the right direction.” ”
I suppose it all depends on the direction you’re wanting to go, isn’t it? Could it be he accidentally told the truth there?
If you’re looking to crash the economy, you WANT high unemployment, so a low jobs number would be good news… at least, to him.
We need what, 250k a month to supposedly stay even with population growth? And we got 80k instead… barely a third of what’s needed.
Yep, we’re going in the right direction, all right!

High government dependency with the government determining who gets paid what is the goal. WHen everyone is poor by government mandate then 0bama will have made everyone equal. And equality of outcome is what the left wants. You can’t make everyone rich so we will make everyone poor instead.

Here’s a news tip for Todd. Suggested headline: “Barack HUSSEIN Obama kills 70 year old woman for not serving him food fast enough!”
“An Ohio woman collapsed and died hours after serving US President Barack Obama breakfast at her restaurant on Friday.
Josephine Ann Harris, the 70-year-old owner of the “Ann’s Place” diner in Akron, complained of fatigue and a tingling feeling after Obama left the premises and was rushed to hospital.
She was later pronounced dead of an apparent heart attack, the local Akron Beacon Journal newspaper said.
Obama stopped by the restaurant on the second day of a bus tour through Ohio and Pennsylvania. He ate two eggs with bacon, wheat toast and grits as he had breakfast with three tire factory workers.
Be sure to leave out key facts in order to paint a darker (wink) picture, Todd. Hopefully you can photoshop a picture of Obama hitting an old woman with his Kenyan Axe.
complained of fatigue and a tingling feeling after Obama left the premises and was rushed to hospital.
What terrible sentence construction. It sounds like 0bama left the premises and was rushed to the hospital. No wonder she had a heart attack.. She probably thought she had poisoned him with her food.

Here’s a news tip for Goofy – 0bama’s a bit of an SCOAMF, as demonstrated by dismal unemployment numbers for the last 41 months and continual attempts get the American people to ignore the dismal numbers.
Here’s another tip – Goofy will ignore this and continue to accuse everyone of being rAAAAAcist for daring to oppose his Choom-Messiah.
