The economy has turned around; 162,000 new jobs last month, many in manufacturing

Although the question has been posed before, it's never been fully answered.....what is a "real American"?
What are the qualifications?

White Bible beating wife beating follower of Jesus who hates blacks other funny looking humans with an IQ of 86 who works in construction and spends all his money at a bar and complains nothing is happening and has a gut width that is the same number as his age

thank you.

What do you say when unemployment numbers unexpectantly soar? hmmm

When George Bush took office ten years back.

It didn't exactly soar, because you can't count dead Americans in Iraq as unemployed.

And all this time all I thought is that we had an election.

I was tempted to quote Nick 4444's note, but figured it was a waste of bandwidth, and its obvious it doesn't say anything.

Please get back to me on this asap - i'm sending it off to the print shop this week, but if there any typos/misspellings I need to know:

Obama is a muslim version of Karl Marx
Stop coddling bums
We want government for the people, not government for the government
Pelosi should be electrocuted
Stop coddling terrorists
Obama, please stop lying to us

Thanks in advance for your assistance, Vince.

Is this the best you could do? Most of the folks at a tea party don't know what the big words mean, like "coddling"...some of them are too long, won't fit on a sign and would be hard to comprehend with a glance.

...the only thing different from a lynch mob and a tea party is there's no body for the hyenas to string up.

The people standing in line at the welfare office have no interest in government - or anything in the world for that matter - except collecting the welfare check, and laying around playing video games and smoking pot.

Of course, they do get mobilized during elections with bribes of cigarettes and cheap liquor.

Typed out with the new tradition of bigotry on line, all the time?

You don't have a wide circle of friends, do you?

All that debt, interest rates going to rise soon, housing crisis 2 starting in 6 months or so followed by personal debt crisis.

It doesn't matter who's in control while the US Govt. doesn't own or issue its own money supply.

Yes the sky is falling. Exit the market put your cash under the mattress. The soup lines are coming. Stock up on perishables and prepare for the end.

hmmm... maybe.

But if you are smart you'll lock your mortgage in now. I'd go for a 5 year term. (If I had one

Also pay off your credit cards. The rates on US cards are going up.

The days of super easy American consumer credit are over and rates will be (are) returning to their historical levels.

Yeah!

But that's what they'd have you believe about Iran, Climate Change etc, etc.

Put all the people who caused the financial f*ck-ups into the same positions of trust to reverse it. Hahahahaha.

Why don't you look up what Sen. Kucinich (a Democrat) said about the October 2008 bail out.

They were taken to a closed session & informed that the country was at immediate risk of martial law if the bail out wasn't passed.

That's how close the sword of Damocles hangs over our heads.

And the bail out just made the wankers who f*cked the economy richer, at the expense of the US taxpayer, who took on all their liabilties.

Interest rates will rise, it's imbecilic to think they won't. And that will hit hard.

:biggrin1: for all you naysayers, i will say this: I TOLD YOU SO. it will be many months before we reach prosperous job growth levels, but the BUSH recession is finally ending.

Most of the jobs created were in the manufacturing sector. And yes, the census created decent jobs until the end of the year. (The constitution of the US requires us to do the census every ten years, uninformed right wing nutcakes.)

Obama haters, go ahead and attack. Facts are stubborn things, and you can no longer deny that the economy is turning upward, thanks largely to the OBAMA economic policies.

Unemployment rises again last week against predictions of a decrease.

There was a tornado in Brooklyn. Enough said.
Sorry, but something's amuck with our environment whether you'd like to acknowledge that or not. Beyond this, what's wrong with a little conservation to better preserve the land, air and environment we use anyhow?

BTW... if you mention the word "taxes" in your response then you automatically lose.

The US taxpayer got what they deserved for not paying attention when all the Depression era laws that would have prevented the meltdown were being undone. Canadian taxpayers had no bailout bill because what's legal in the US is illegal in Canada.

To return to the original point of this thread, the following US companies have announced they are again hiring: AMD, Yahoo, Google , Intel and UPS. We are seeing the turnaround in CA , which has the third highest unemployment rate in the nation.
with the new insurance reforms, more small companies have the ability to offer new employees health insurance. This promotes hiring of new employees. I recognize this is a painful and difficult fact for some of you, but you cant ignore the facts.
The economy is improving. Obama and his administration have saved us from the second , and possibly last , American depression.

again, many of you need to read books on economics. i recommemd author and former treasury secretary Robert Reich.

You don't know what you are talking about. First of all Robert Reich was the former Secretary of Labor. Secondly, perhaps it is you who should read what Robert Reich has stated very clearly of late:

The Jobs Picture Still Looks Bleak

Many outsourced jobs will never return, and median income will likely continue to fall just like it did during the last so-called recovery.

Since the start of the Great Recession in December 2007, the economy has shed 8.4 million jobs and failed to create another 2.7 million required by an ever-larger pool of potential workers. That leaves us more than 11 million jobs behind. (The number is worse if you include everyone working part-time who'd rather it be full-time, those working full-time at fewer hours, and people who are overqualified for the jobs they're in.) This means even if we enjoy a vigorous recovery that produces, say, 300,000 net new jobs a month, we could be looking at five to eight years before catching up to where we were before the recession began.
Given how many Americans are unemployed or underemployed, it's hard to see where we get sufficient demand to support a vigorous recovery. Outlays from the federal stimulus have already passed their peak, and the Federal Reserve won't keep interest rates near zero for very long. Although consumers are beginning to come out of their holes, it will be many years before they can return to their pre-recession levels of spending. Most households rely on two wage earners, of whom at least one is now likely to be unemployed, underemployed or in danger of losing a job.
