Obama is a naive phony. Before your very eyes a socialist revolution is underway. The United States as we knew it; The United States which was intended, is no more. Obama's not the only one to blame. This is the change the idiots want, so be it. Just let it be known there's no comin' back.
OH ****!! Guess I better go stick my head back in the sand. Seriously though - the "you agree or you're stupid" thing is a little hard to swallow. Maybe I am just blind, or maybe I know exactly what's going on and I refuse to accept it. Pretty easy explanation to throw out, and it beats the heck out of the need to accept any other lurking possibility.

I don't see the difference. I'm defending Palin for no other reason than maybe she'll read this and ask me to bone her....

So, let's say there were 100 new unemployment claims last month.

The reports say that "there are fewer new unemployment claims" even though the total number of unemployed people has increased. There are now 180 unemployed people.

So the number of new unemployment claims are going down...

But the total number if unemployed are still going up.
This has become a ridiculous and meaningless argument of semantics.

Remember the picture of McCain in the debate with his tongue sticking out? And the video that showed that it was taken completely out of context?

Watch this and it shows that the picture of Obama supposedly looking at that girl's *** is the same thing.

Coincidence? 2010,2012 election, healthcare reform, immigration reform. I think not.
Really? And rising?

Quote:
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The number of Americans filing initial unemployment claims fell sharply last week, while those filing ongoing claims rose to another all-time high, according to government data released Thursday.

There were 565,000 initial jobless claims filed in the week ended July 4, down 52,000 from a revised 617,000 the previous week, the Labor Department said.

It was the lowest number since January and was below the consensus estimate of 603,000 from economists surveyed by Briefing.com.
Yes, "and rising". The number of unemployed people are still going up, aren't they? To quote yourself: "That is, of course, a rhetorical question, because that's exactly how it works."

There is no reason to call the discussion "ridiculous and meaningless". I think the distinction between "unemployment" and "new unemployment claims" is an important distinction to be made.

Obama still took a peek, otherwise he would not have missed the hand of the girl he was "helping"

Also take note that these are weekly claims. Over half a million people a week filing for benefits; How in your right mind can you justify this?
