And a best buy credit line.

I used it to buy your wife a shake-weight.

She needs practice.

SP still grasping at hope and change

Yep. If a Republican took office 4 years ago with the unemployment at 7.8% and promised 5.6% yet it still stood at 7.8%, he'd be ranting and raving about him. But since it's his messiah in office, we are to act like going from 7.8% to 7.8% in 4 years is an incredible feat. Just like promising to cut the $9 trillion deficit in half but instead virtually doubling it.

Bush Sr got thrown out of office after 4 years for breaking his "read my lips, no new taxes" promise. Yet Obama has broken major promise after promise and gets a free ride out of it. Unreal.

Basically they werent promises, they were lies. Like the rest of his 4yrs has been.

Actually his entire life is some sort of shadowy lie. Its stunning to me that someone so unqalified, unprepared and undeserving was able to get the most important job in the world.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Applications for U.S. unemployment benefits jumped 46,000 to a seasonally adjusted 388,000 in the week of Oct. 7-13, the Labor Department said Thursday, erasing the sharp drop from the prior week. Claims had fallen two weeks ago to a four-year low but the decline mainly stemmed from a statistical quirk in the data...


Guess they found that missing state and fixed the "quirk"

Everyone who was working on that red bull jump got layed off.

It is a bummer sharing good news with people who don't wantto hear it because it conflicts with their pathetic party bias, so they attempt to downplay the good news.

lol

Numbers were wrong...like many of us said.

 

[superpunk]

And you were wrong. Good job.

Dow Jones slip on unemployment numbers

(AP)Stocks are opening mostly lower, breaking a four-day winning streak for the Dow Jones industrial average, following a leap in claims for unemployment benefits and a mixed batch of corporate earnings reports.

The Dow was down 18 points at 13,539 shortly after the opening bell Thursday.

The Standard & Poor's 500 index was off four at 1,457 and the Nasdaq composite was down eight at 3,095.

The Labor Department reported that applications for unemployment benefits jumped last week to the highest level in four months. That suggests layoffs are picking up again.
