1,000 new jobs created....
I remember a post on here not too long ago saying that we were doomed because there were about to hundreds of thousands of jobs created.

Well....there goes that little theory.

Bush is Herbert Hoover.

===================================================

U.S. stocks fall on job data

Friday January 9, 9:37 am ET

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - U.S. stocks moved lower Thursday in early trade on concern the U.S economy is not creating new jobs after a weaker-than-expected December employment report.

The Labor Department said non-farm payrolls increased by 1,000 in December, far below the 136,000 expected by Wall Street economists, and the 181,000 to 200,000 expected by some traders on the Street.

1. Whoopie. We are making progress now!!!!!!!!
By the way, I resent your comparison of Bush to Hoover. That is an insult, to Hoover.

2. Bush will leave Hoover in the dust!
Fearless leader will leave this country in the worst mess ever, eclipsing Hoover and every other Republican doofus that preceded him. May God have mercy on us!

6. Yep, thats the guy!


The guy with the "friend" on Wall Street!


Where is that guy now? LOL!

I knew it was bunk. That guy was claiming Bush was going to recover 3 million jobs my election day, yeah right!

This is terrible for the American people.

7. He'll get those jobs back when he brings the draft back.
He's gonna need those three million extra soldiers for the invasion of France, y'know.

10. "Where is that guy now?" - on CNBC this morning?
I'll bet that guy was Larry Kudlow, and he was on CNBC this morning, spinning like a pulsar.

They had Kudlow in a quartet of experts in a quad-split screen, and the other three were fairly realistic, one in particular (Bill ?). But Kudlow only saw the sun shining through the hurricane.

They also revised Oct and Nov job figures downward, Nov WAY down.

I once had a modicum of respect for LK, but he is becoming laughable.

8. Watch it - they will spin the numbers
Everyone knows, in their gut, that jobs continue to disappear. That's part of the reason for the illegal immigrant amnesty proposal - to pad the numbers.

9. Yes, Bush is Hoover!
We really need to hammer this point. there are many similarities between the two buffoons, and this is not as "controversial" as the Bush/Hitler analogy.

I am pessimistic that most Americans will know who Hoover is--so let's try and connect using the "great depression" and hope this resonantes with American voters.

11. These numbers are unfair!
They don't include all the jobs created in India. Don't those count? I'm sure they do in Bush Economics.

I heard on the radio that Bangladore boasts of having more employees than silicon valley. Yeah, Jr.'s creating jobs!

12. "CNN Money" article targets next job boom for 2008
http://money.cnn.com/2004/01/08/news/economy/jobs_walkup/index.htm

Favorite quote from this article: "Although a heightened degree of overseas job outsourcing is probably taking place, the phenomenon is likely exaggerated by newspaper headlines," Bank of America chief economist Mickey Levy said this week.

:grr:
