When unemployment figures were announced during 8 years of Bush
I never heard Boehner or any other Republican saying that a down-tick in unemployment figures was a statistical aberration.

1. Not only that but for the first time we are dealing with real world numbers
which is closer to 17% with people underemployed and those who have fallen off the lists.(funny the media suddenly discovered the real numbers?) They pissed and moaned us into this mess since Reagan started playing with the numbers.. and of course.. Democrats being Democrats, figure out how to pay for things, deal with real numbers..

We are actually starting to see daylight on the horizon.. from over 700,000 to 11,000... and what do we get from the people who made this train wreck.

Not one word of thanks or encouragement.. but never ending whining..

2. give credit where credit is due
The 700,000 is because of Obama (they knew he was going to be elected)

The 11,000 is because of Bush (his tax cut for the rich is now working):evilgrin:

3. But to be fair, DUers took those reports with a healthy grain of salt.
Whereas now we are being asked to swallow the manipulations whole.
