Apparently he still has around 50% approval ratings, meaning at least half the people in this country are morons.

I bet you DW and Substance agree with this comment 100%.

Sean Player Hating Hannity has been at it sense 2008. His clear dislike for the president is so obvious. He is way out there.

He's a hateful nutjob.

Another "person" who just needs to get his ass kicked.

yes... but which half?

BINGO!

Um... no. And please don't give Obama credit for... you know... anything.

I'm curious as to where the job growth came from. Are these jobs for entry level service industry based jobs, or are they jobs for industry that can help drive a recovery? As it is, economic growth is still very sluggish and unemployment was flat, so it a little potential good news with more bad.

Interesting, it's as I thought, a bunch of low paying service based jobs, not something that is worth bragging rights TBH.

Other than that jobs report, not much else improved. I'm sure Obama will trumpet this report, and I'm sure those that want to support and do support him won't dig any further than the headline "XXX,XXX jobs created by Obama!", but reality is this report isn't a sign of any sustaining recovery.

Why? You mind explaining why adding jobs month after month after month is not a sustaining recovery? As for them being low paying service jobs, I'm sure the people unemployed will be grateful for them than having nothing. I could have sworn a job is a job, no matter how it pays.

A job that pays 7.50 an hour is not something you can support a family on. It keeps dependence on the got and doesnt boost aggregate spending so the economy remains stagnant. Unemployment remained the same even though they added jobs. To me that means they are massagimg the stats.

It usually is, but these are jobs created under Obama so they must be exaggerated. Its just another lame excuse not to give credit. Whats next?

Try supporting a family on nothing at all and I bet $7.50 won't sound so bad.

ROFL, yeah, no one can make any solid points about the validity of these job numbers without simply being anti-Obama! That's how you debate points made by someone, simply attack the agenda of that person rather than the point they made! As usual, this is what someone does when they have no actual response...

watching Game Change.

great movie, well made.

As for the depiction of Palin- I actually felt bad for her. She is portrayed as un-prepared and overwhelmed. I actually started feeling sorry for her.

A) she wasn't prepared or vetted or capable of performing the role for which she had been selected.
B) the national media (left and right) is merciless.

All the actors deserve credit but Julianne Moore knocked it out of the park.

Check it out.

Funny thing is, we are currently watching the same show. I wonder if this is an accurate depiction of her.

They make her look like a complete idiot, but I have a hard time believing she is really as dumb as they try to make her seem. I did, however, do a little research as watching it tonight, and they say they interviewed something like 20 of the campaign staffers... still need to do a little more digging on this "docudrama", as I still have a hard time believing she is as stupid as they are trying to make her seem.

No clearer representation of Rule 34 than that right there.

well its based on the book written by Woody's character... I am betting its more than somewhat accurate.

at the same time...watching the movie still... she suddenly finds an inner strength that is somewhat impressive...

...despite still not knowing anything...

...she is certainly a skilled political cheerleader/actress

[DayWalker]

Um... no. And please don't give Obama credit for... you know... anything.

Hurts so good.... come on baby make it hurt so good

... and yes... still progress to me made....

So, this is what 10's of trillions of dollars buy you.... a couple hundred thousand low paying service jobs a month and 8.3% unemployment! Maybe next time we should shoot for hundred of trillions instead!
