My God, you are an idiot.

Loving the coverage of the Great Britain vs. Iran dustup and speeches from Parliament. Why didn't we take that custom of moaning "hearrr, hearrrruh" with us when we set up our Congress?

Of course doing that with jobs instead of declining participation kinda matters. If only government would stop offsetting private job growth.

NM- those are not seasonally adjusted numbers. Retail and hospitality jobs always go up in November and December due to the non-religious end of year holiday shopping and parties. Want to bet it goes back up in January?

Remember, each increase is Obama's fault, each decline comes because of the Job Creators, aka, the 1%.

It's the opposite of the stock market.

Seriously, you, Adder and Ty are about the only ones left who can't see that the guy is a total disaster.

dissent. i agree with ggg that the credit for all of the people who have quit even bothering to look should go to the President. and for Christmas hiring, that too; while he has outlawed calling the holiday, or the tree "christmas, he has not banned the american public from buying gifts or having "end of year" parties.

Perhaps he's not really a president, but rather just cover for anarchists who want to smash stuff.

I know I'm hopelessly biased, but I just can't look at the situation and see him as the problem. We have a congress that can't or won't do anything, and has no interest in compromise. Obama's done nothing but beg them for progress on budget issues to no avail.

But I agree that he's been disappointing on the economy exactly because of his desire to compromise with Rs.

So I guess I can't say "total disaster" because I can't really see anyone having had more success given the circumstances, or unless you think the president has more control over the economy than he does.

Interesting. Based on your prior posts about Barney Frank I thought you were irrationally hostile to aging queens.

2. Now that I know Palin would have quit the VP job after a few months to ride around in a bus, I might have taken a longer look at McCain.

Don't look back, Weed. Look forward. Always forward. Feel the Newtmentum? FEEL IT.

Seems to suggest that Obama gets an easy veto here, that cannot possibly be overridden. Which might not have been the case without the deletion.

I would have liked someone to ask one of the Senators ready to vote for this shite why they would vote for a bill that would let the Administration arrest a Senator and hold him or her indefinitely without trial.

It feels a little doughy. But the Whitehouse hasn't seen jowls like that since '73, and maybe it's time they were back.

She'd have waited to quit until after she provoked a McCain heart attack and was president for a few months.
