Do you want fries with that?

I'm not sure how reputable this site is, but if this is true, it certainly is telling.

According to the unemployment data released this morning, the economy added only 54,000 jobs, pushing the unemployment rate up to 9.1 percent. However, this report from MarketWatch suggests the data is much worse than that:

McDonald’s ran a big hiring day on April 19 — after the Labor Department’s April survey for the payrolls report was conducted — in which 62,000 jobs were added. That’s not a net number, of course, and seasonal adjustment will reduce the Hamburglar impact on payrolls. (In simpler terms — restaurants always staff up for the summer; the Labor Department makes allowance for this effect.) Morgan Stanley estimates McDonald’s hiring will boost the overall number by 25,000 to 30,000. The Labor Department won’t detail an exact McDonald’s figure — they won’t identify any company they survey — but there will be data in the report to give a rough estimate.

If Morgan Stanley is correct, about half of last month's job growth came from the venerable fast-food chain. That is hardly the sign of a healthy economy.

It is true. Take out the McD's hirings and the jobs numbers were morbid. They already were not good with them. The ONE needs to go. The unemployment rates sustaining this long and inflation occuring like it is hasn't been seen to this extent since Jimmy Carter.

Racist!

Racist!

Against whites I guess. Since the ONE is as much white as anything. Right?

He just needs another term to correct things.

We have to give him more time to clean up the mess that Bush made. Yeah, thats it.

Note: The Community Reinvestment Act (which encouraged low income and subprime lending with disregard to other factors) was passed under Carter and put on steroids in 1995 under Clinton. Derivatives/Mortgage Backed Securities traders simply used the already existing market conditions to make money. Would not have happened had the environment for it not been created in the first place. Just saying.

You all need to give him a chance.  Change takes time.  Dismantling the United States can't be completed overnight.

Just look how good he's doing.  Those are positive numbers!  I think they call this progress...
