TRUE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OVER 15%....THANK YOU, OBAMA The true unemployment rate is over 15%, because the government's "unemployment" rate only counts people receiving unemployment benefits. It does not count people who have ran out of UE benefits, discharged military members not eligible for unemployment benefits, people who have given up looking for jobs, people fired from jobs that are unable to get ue benefits, people working several part time jobs while still looking for a real full time job, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if the the true unemployment rate wasn't closer to 20%.
The only thing that you are right about is the " unemployment " rate only counts people receiving unemployment. It is does not count all of the other stupid things that you mentioned except for one.Military personel are eligible for unemployment benifits when discharged.And all of these stats are still the same as when Georgie Boy was President and few more before him.Now you and all of your Repub Buddies have got the truth.
Obama's figures: Yadda-yadda!!! All I can say Is IF OBAMA FELT CONFIDENT IN HIS FIGURES, he wouldn't feel the NEED to raise the one billion $$$$$'s for his re-election. On the news this AM: (and not Fox) he will be arriving in Seattle soon, travelling AGAIN to the town of Medina (Bill Gate's house is there) and collecting a mere $18,000 a head for a "meet & greet". Oh, but he DOES care about the "middle class"!!! (AND how much will this cost the taxpayer for Air Force One and all the accompanyhing jazz???) Did I say how much he cares for the MIDDLE CLASS???
RE: Economy adds 243,000 jobs in Jan.; jobless rate 8.3% You better quit watching Faux News channel. Watch a good channel like CNN and get the real truth. Next month unemployment will be under 8%

RE: Economy adds 243,000 jobs in Jan.; jobless rate 8.3% The jobs number is a bit bogus. Historically, January is the month when companies go into hibernation because of bad weather and temporary Christmas jobs end. Jobs aren’t created in January. They are usually lost. In January 2011 there was an actual unadjusted job loss of over 2-million jobs. This year the government computers were expecting a bigger unadjusted loss jobs. However, the unadjusted loss was somewhat less – about 243,000 less. Thus 243,000 new jobs created. Consider you work at a company where it is rumored that there will be 100 jobs cut in response to a down turn in business. When the cuts finally come there are only 50 jobs eliminated. You expected 100 so adjusting for expectations 50 jobs were created? That’s sort of what happened in the January employment report because of seasonal adjustment. The 8.3% unemployment number is actually worse also, although it has been under reported since this began so the lower reported number probably represents some improvement.

RE: City $$$$ Easy way to say it is that the majority of people in this town are living off of other peoples money....I hear them all talk about their Earned Income credit they are all waiting for so they can go out and buy stuff...EIC=Welfare no matter how you slice it, you get back MORE than you pay, that comes from someone else who gets back LESS than they pay so you get to buy stuff thanks to their money.....
Most of the ones that get the earned income tax only work part time and know how to beat the system.I know a woman that works at a local pizza shop that wants no more than 20 hours a week because it would put her over the limit.
RE: Economy adds 243,000 jobs in Jan.; jobless rate 8.3% As long as there isnt a Republican going into office we all win.Little " Bush " Santorum is almost done,Newt & Mitt will take care of each other, and Ron might be in a home by then.And with one of the Bush Wars over and the other coming to an end by next summer I cant see any problem.
War over? Do you watch the news? since USA left Iraq, the country is on the verge of civil war. it's not over. Obama just pulled out to fulfill a promise and to use his "victory" for campaign ammunition.
RE: Economy adds 243,000 jobs in Jan.; jobless rate 8.3% Sorry to disapoit you.....Hilary will be 69 in 2016 Ronald Reagan was older when he got elected at 72.
Ok. What's 3 yrs? Who is going to vote for a woman age 69 for Pres? Doubt it. American lost her chance in 2008.

In response to Democrat sour on Barrack 's message:
RE: Economy adds 243,000 jobs in Jan.; jobless rate 8.3% Keep drinking the Kool Aid. Hillary will be 72 or so in 2016. Won't happen. The power brokers in the Dem party had their chance to get Hillary in the WH in 08 but wanted their puppet Barrack. They stabbed her in the back. The nation lost.
Sorry to disapoit you.....Hilary will be 69 in 2016 Ronald Reagan was older when he got elected at 72.
Economy adds 243,000 jobs in Jan.; jobless rate 8.3% Economy adds 243,000 jobs in Jan.; jobless rate 8.3% 22 months of private sector job growth under President Obama. The result pointed to a resurgent job market, and sent stocks surging at the 9:30 a.m. Eastern time opening bell on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York.The economy created 243,000 net jobs in January, the most in nine months, and the unemployment rate fell two ticks ... GW Bush left Obama one heck of a mess,but we're digging out. Obama for four more years! ... Hillary Clinton 2016 !
