"Obama cooked the books."
Just getting it in for the right wingers start saying it.
if he was going to cook the books, he should have cooked them before unemployment exceeded 8%. that way he could credibly claim that the stimulus worked as advertised.
too little cooking, too late.
tant pis.
Was Obama even president when the unemployment rate was 8%?
Has Obama really done anything in his policies to make the unemployment better in the last month? Or, is it more likely that the recession is starting to wane in its natural cycle with the economy?
In the immortal word of Dogbert..."thoughts?"
Um...
Don't retail centers increase staff in Nov/Dec to cover for holiday shopping?
Could this account for the oh so exciting drop from 10.2% to 10.0% unemployment?
Exactly correct...anyone with half a brain knows the retail outlets and manufacturers gear up for the holiday season....but don't let the partisans like rightwinger, polk and Chris in on that fact...just let them continue to make fools out of themselves.
Chris how is dropping 98,000 jobs last month an improvement....more unemployed people is a good sign? Employment Situation Summary
It is a good sign that the rate dropped .2% last month back down to 10% unemployment. However some of that is due to a lot of people finally losing their extended unemployment benefits too.
Get back to me when we CREATE Jobs some month and i'll be right there with you celebrating a turn for the better.
Maybe next month will be the first month we have some JOB GROWTH. When we do actually have job growth we can celebrate.

the unemployment rate for january 2009 was 7.6%, up from 7.2% in december
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/07/business/economy/07jobs.html
"Back in early January, when Barack Obama was still President-elect, two of his chief economic advisers leading proponents of a stimulus bill predicted that the passage of a large economic-aid package would boost the economy and keep the unemployment rate below 8%. It hasn't quite worked out that way. Last month, the jobless rate in the U.S. hit 9.5%, the highest level it has reached since 1983.
The two advisers who wrote the paper, Christina Romer and Jared Bernstein, went on to land key jobs in the Obama Administration. Romer is the head of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, and Bernstein is the chief economist and economic-policy adviser to Vice President Joe Biden. And the stimulus bill that both economists championed became law in mid-February."

Why argue economics with liberals? They think government creates jobs... right there you know they're fucking clueless.
Don't waste your time... look at that idiot Krugman who argues that CA's woes are because their taxes aren't high enough. Fucking idiots.

This is good news considering it could of been a lot worse.

Well, let's look at the Reagan Recession of 1982, the last time we had double digit unemployment, and see if unemployment declined in the run up to Christmas.
1982-08 9.80
1982-09 10.10
1982-10 10.40
1982-11 10.80
Well so much for that we ALWAYS have an uptick in employment before Christmas crapaganda. Looks like Reagan's tax cuts couldn't even help employment during the holiday "uptick."

Reagan became president in Jan of 1981 and unemployment was 7.5% and during Carter's entire term UE never exceeded 7.8%. TWO YEARS into Reagan's first term and more than a year after his tax cut "stimulus" UE reached 10.8%, which you CON$ still blame Carter for rather than Reagan's tax cuts! But don't dare blame Bush for anything that happened BEFORE Obama came into office let alone 2 years after Bush left!!!Exactly correct...anyone with half a brain knows the retail outlets and manufacturers gear up for the holiday season....but don't let the partisans like rightwinger, polk and Chris in on that fact...just let them continue to make fools out of themselves.

Thanks Ed....Carter really fucked this country up....but at least Reagan was man enough NOT to continually blame Carter for Carter's failed economic policy and for planting the seeds that grew into Al Qaeda which killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11.
Reagan was a man who became President
Obama is a lawyer who conned his way into the White House.
There is a difference edthecynic...but you are too blinded by partisan hatred to see it.
