back to work and the other 25 million or thereabouts will get jobs. Because jobs are being created. Careful, don't step on the green shoots, they're everywhere.

Well, maybe not immediately, and food stamps don't provide quite enough, unemployment is over for many. Say another 10 years or so? Perhaps they can toast and enjoy the remains of their 401(k), or maybe their health insurance policy. Over wood from their foreclosed home. While they wait.

Fine, fine, fine...

(To Whom It May Concern: Yeah I read your post. you're not alone. I think we should start giving away gardens.)

Nice to have encouraging words from the pres, though, and I guess it's just expected that the nasty rethugs take them "out of context".

They should read
ALL of his words.


“We’ve created 4.3 million jobs over the last…27 months, over 800,000 just this year alone,” the president said, “the private sector is doing fine. Where we’re seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government ... with fewer revenues coming in.

Mr. Obama said that “if Republicans want to be helpful, if they really want to move forward and put people back to work, what they should be thinking about is how do we help state and local governments, and how do we help the construction industry, because the recipes that they’re promoting are basically the kinds of policies that would add weakness to the…economy,

Several times during his remarks, which included taking questions from three reporters, the president suggested that the private sector was in a good place. “We’ve seen record profits in the corporate sector,” he said."



Dang. Maybe we just need to figure out how to move everyone into the corporate sector.
