Bwahaa! "He Promised Unemployment Would Go Below 8%" Bellyaching Has Now Been Changed to 5.6%.

[Solomon]

Sean Hannity cracks me up.

1. Fox is now trotting out the fact that the statistic does not include everyone who has given up. n/t

[wtmusic]

4. I think that comes from Mitt's campaign.

Faxes all around.

5. They've been saying that since 2009! The unemployment is much higher!!!! People have given up!

I'm sure that's true. It has always been true. It will continue to be true. But we can't get a statistic on that, and since it was true last month, and the month before that, and the month before that, aren't we still comparing apples to apples?

[Ikonoklast]

8. Except that is not a fact, it's a falsehood.

The metric used to count the unemployed is very sophisticated, and it includes those who are no longer seeking employment.

2. And when is Obama going to

Cut the deficit in half like he promised.

11. That's the worst argument they can make

if the obstructionists would actually implement his budget, we could get there.

3. I love the look of Hannity frustration in the morning

and Hannity depression in the evening when he goes through three gallons of Hagen-Dazs to drown his sorrows.

6. The man is off the chart. He's flailing around throwing

everything, no matter how specious, against the wall . It's almost comic in its manicness.

7. Suggestion for Obams commercial: goalposts on wheels...

...pulled by an elephant.

[GoCubsGo]

9. He's not the only one.

Romney has been spewing a whole range of numbers. One day, it's 6%, the next day, it's 5%.

[vaberella]

10. Obama could bring it down to 0% and they would say it has to be negative numbers.

Repubs are always moving the goalposts.
