Unbelievable.   And the WH says that the economy is improving.  Wages are down, manufacturing is down, the work force participation is at a 30 year low, and almost 370,000 dropped out of the job search.  We are adding fewer jobs this year than last year and this is improvement?


How many more Obama summers of recovery can we take?

I understand that O had been briefed on these data before he addressed the convention last night.

That's unfortunate.  Really.


Maybe that is why he gave a jimmy carter speech.

Aw come on guys, that's not important.  What's really important is that we create a system where 31 year old law school students get their contraceptive supplies replenished on somebody else's dime.

If you don't mind I would like to add to your comment.  A 31 year old attending a premiere law school at almost $200,000 who stands to make 6 figures upon passing the bar.


Forgive me Ted.

We lost jobs?  That's not what that report says, guys.  We added jobs, unlike the case 4 years ago.

Sorry, woody, but I wouldn't bet my life on this particular law student.

Regardless of whether or not she passes the bar exam, she will have a six figure incum career as the College-Girl-Called-****-by-Rush.

I'll try to keep that in mind, Ted.  It's really important (to the entire nation) that Ms. Fluke get her condoms bought by the American taxpayer.  She's studying to be a lawyer isn't she?  One from U. Chicago isn't it?  That's where all the needy attend, isn't it? 

Poor Ms. Fluke.

Don't argue with us.  Argue with the BLS.

I think she goes to Georgetown Law.
