1. Now they'll have to think up something nasty to say.

Low unemployment is a threat to (something). This precipitous decline must be stopped!

3. yes

How dare Obama let unemployment get lower!

2. don't forget, though ... the (allegedly) "liberally-biased media" has the Repug talking point of

how, yes, the numbers are good, but not great, and how you need X jobs to actually grow the economy, and the classic "the numbers don't reflect the number of people who have quit looking and ran out of benefits."

Mind you, these messages were NOT done during the Bush years when the numbers were just as anemic, and the (allegedly) "liberally-biased media" said that the economy was growing ...

6. They're also complaining that things aren't happening fast enough

And the troglodytes on the teevee just repeat that without the least sense of irony. Things are happening too slowly, GOP? Really? And what, pray tell, have you done in the last year and a half to grease the wheels of government to help out so many citizens in such terrible need?

I can wait . . .

5. LOL

These are great numbers!!!! Great for America that is, but anything great for America is lousy for Republicans nowadays.

7. They will need to amp up the racism even further than they already have

It is their only hope.
