Economy Adds 288,000 Jobs In June

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...rcent/?hpid=z1

Jobless rate falls to 6.1% and the DOW ticks up over 17,000.

It was entertaining hearing Limbaugh poo-poo the good economic news. I'm waiting for Whell to chime in parroting Rush's "logic" (now that the Right's economic braintrust, -5, has departed the premises.)

With the unemployment rate dropping and the stock market hitting record highs, I can see where Obama is considered to be the worst president ever.

The 'Corpulent One' is still cheering for the demise of America's economic fortunes? If the right's economic braintrust is based on goldbuggery ala Glenn Beck, they're in worse shape than even I imagined.

Is he gone again? If you miss him he in BAP extolling physical money.

Yeah Obama had nothing to do with the economy. Imagine if Bonehead would have worked with the President on some infrastruture bills...we might be down to 5.

There is no telling how many amazing places this country might be right now if instead of the republicans doing everything in their power to make this country fail simply to make an examples of the president they cooperated and compromised.

Yep, the Republicans have undermined him at every turn.

Compare that to Bush, who inherited a booming economy and budget surpluses as far as the eye could see from Clinton, then got virtually everything he asked for from congress, and went on to bring about the biggest economic collapse since the great depression.

Did 5 below depart? Whatever brought that on?

If only the Democrats would've had complete control of the Federal government when Obama was first elected. Just imagine the wonderful things they could've done.
