Lovely:
The U.S. unemployment rate jumped to a 26-year high of 9.7% in August as nonfarm payrolls fell by 216,000, the 20th consecutive monthly decline, the Labor Department estimated Friday. U.S. payrolls have dropped by 6.9 million to 131.2 million since the recession began in December 2007….
So what is the administration doing about it? Nothing. They’re working on how to stuff health care “reform” down the throats of people who don’t want it, raising the deficit even higher, planning indoctrination broadcasts into the schools and defending troofer trash marxists in the White House.
The economy takes last place behind those important tasks.
Welcome to Omerica.
(And don’t forget, this is only the “official” unemployment number. Counting discouraged workers who have given up looking and run out of benefits would add a huge number more to the count - which is why they don’t count them.)

Here we go again with the right wing BS! Where do you get this stuff? Townhall.com? Rush Limbaugh? Fox News Network?
Time for a little fact check!
"The U.S. unemployment rate jumped to a 26-year high of 9.7% ...
the 20th consecutive monthly decline"
20TH CONSECUTIVE MONTHLY DECLINE! Did you catch that? President Obama has only been in office 8 months! Obviously this disaster was created by the previous Republican regime. Doesn't take a PhD to figure that out!
" the Labor Department estimated Friday. U.S. payrolls have dropped by 6.9 million to 131.2 million since the recession began in December 2007…"
The key point here being: SINCE THE RECESSION BEGAN IN 2007! That would be under George W. Bush's watch!! President Obama inherited this mess and is doing his best to clean it up. Not supporting efforts of this administration to improve our economy is Un-patriotic and Un-American!
"So what is the administration doing about it? Nothing."
The economic stimulus plans enacted by the current administration, Federal Reserve and Congress have been the most aggressive in history! (though I admit their effectiveness so far is questionable- but to say they are not "doing" anything is a lie.)
"They’re working on how to stuff health care “reform” down the throats of people who don’t want it."
Ann Coulter couldn't have said it better herself, and she has lots of experience stuffing things down her throat. (and venom down everyone else's)
PS: How do you know no one in America wants healthcare? Your privileged upbring does not match the experience of most Americans, fyi.
"raising the deficit even higher,"
And just who do you think caused the current disgraceful national deficit? George W. Bush inherited a budget SURPLUS when he took office! Yet 2 UNPROVOKED, UTTERLY OPTIONAL AND VOLUNTARY wars have bankrupted America.
" planning indoctrination broadcasts into the schools"
This is some of the biggest crap you have yet spewed! Listen, Encouraging America's school children to work harder and strive for better academic performance is a GOOD THING! Do you have any idea how low American kids rank when compared to other industrialized nations? Especially in science, technology, engineering and math?
President Obama is going to look good for giving this address-- and that is the real reason the Republicans are so up in arms. Their objections just make them look even more pathetic.
"and defending troofer trash marxists in the White House."
Not sure what you mean. What is "troofer trash?"
"The economy takes last place behind those important tasks."
This is totally false. Endless evidence supports that fact that fixing the economy has been job #1 of our current administration.
(And don’t forget, this is only the “official” unemployment number. Counting discouraged workers who have given up looking and run out of benefits would add a huge number more to the count - which is why they don’t count them.)
I agree with previous poster!
But I also respect Topper for allowing debate and comments from opposing viewpoints.
Your back, how was the cool aid break?

Typical of you to resort to a non sequitur when you have no logical responses to defend your positions.
Why don't you go to Townhall.com and research some arguments and get back to me?
