The jobless rate was announced today. In spite of the dreadful snow storms the nation endured in February, the jobless rate held steady at 9.7%. The Dumbocrats said the unemployment numbers would have been much worse if Mother Nature hadn't dumped all that Global Warming white stuff on everybody.

Lost in all the "good" news were the facts:

> 1.2 million discouraged people stopped looking for jobs.

> 14.9 million people are still looking for full-time work.

> 8.8 million people have been forced into part-time work.

How is all that HOPE AND CHANGE working out for all you unemployed liberal idealogues? Just think, first it was the evil Bush's fault for all  this unemployment, and now Mother Nature gets blamed for the slow economy. Don't  worry because when the sun comes out in March and spring rolls around....Obama will take the credit if the job numbers improve.

Hapless Harry Reid, who has full-time employment for the next nine months, called the numbers "really good news".  It just shows you that if the unemployment bar is set low enough in advance, the jobless numbers can then be spun positively by the Obamanoids.

President Obama, the Bankrupter-in-Chief, and daily orator, took time out of his busy day to visit OPower, in Arlington,VA . He pontificated for the 800th time how he and the Swamp Creatures in Congress will not rest until everyone finds a job. His speech was so boring that even CNBC cut out of the live feed. Good thing or Larry Kudlow would have dozed off!

A couple of days earlier the national retail sales figures came out higher than expected. One can only draw the logical conclusion that all the discouraged unemployed cashed their unemployment checks and went shopping during February.



"Hey, everybody, don't blame me, blame the Obamanable Snowman for this chronic unemployment!"
