Cenk doing a great job breaking it down.

1. Heard this yesterday and literally yelled "fuck yeah" in my car.

I'm glad we have Cenk and a few others to point out the truth, but this is so basic -- how can the MSM pretend this kind of bullshit is real?

2. They are playing the same game...

it seems.

3. Corporations Create Jobs????

I guess so.

When I was growing up typically families needed one working adult to "make it." They could send the kids to college, take vacations, and securely retire.

But in the modern corporate age both adults in a family need to work to make it. That means corporations have created two jobs where the used to only be one!

Two jobs means a family may need two cars!!! That means corporations just about doubled the amount of jobs in car factories. Cool.

Corporations have also sent manufacturing to other countries creating loads of jobs for not-so-well-off laborers in not-so-safe environments.

Corporations have also created jobs by utilizing part time workers who don't get nearly the benefits that full time workers get. Often part timers have to take a second part time job in order to make end's meat. That means that corporations can create two jobs for the price of one person and deny them benefits too! Awesome. Some people even work 3 part time jobs. Now that's job creation!

9. And as a US President once said (gag) "That's uniquely AmeriKan" guess which one! n/t

4. I think it's a safe bet to say it was a PR stunt.

I'm not a fan of Obama anymore and not because he's not smart. He's extremely smart and knows exactly what he's doing.

But, that's a given.

8. He can have an IQ as high as the moon

and still be so insulated that he's unable to understand the real world -

Either Obama's dillusional or he's playing us and he thinks we're stupid enough to fall for it.
