		<description>I personally believe that corporate conservatives are purposely not hiring or layng off to make the Obama administration look as bad as possible to the American public before the 2010 election.  It&#039;s what you call &quot;Disaster Capitalism&quot; and it is manmade.</description>

		<description>When your &quot;brisk&quot; GDP growth is fueled by government spending, it&#039;s not good news. Not good news at all. Expect it to be widely touted, however.</description>

		<description>How silly to even consider Obama&#039;s plan as a recovery plan. It is a &quot;plain as the nose on your face&quot; takeover of the nation by destroying it first&quot; plan. Nothing new to Marxists who have done this for decades in nations. First, they destroy and destabilize - they come in and restore order with big government controls on everyone.
That, in your face, America, healthcare plan to save money by aborting seniors is one big clue. The billions of unaccounted dollars he set aside to ACORNize the dead and the illegal to vote, is another. When the world wakes up and realizes that there is no one big enough and moral enough to save us, (and therefore them)the groaning will replace the joy at watching America fail.</description>

		<description>I agree with Mark. The people who can still support Obama and his constant lying and legislation that is clearly unconstitituonal are just so pathetic. They have lost their ability to think and see clearly. Their very identities are tied to Obama&#039;s success so they see roses where there is dung and deny the very existence of their own noses. Go ahead and and deny all evidence to the contrary of what you have bought from Obama.

The funniest part of all of thi, if there could be one, is the FACT that the truth of all of this will unfortunately come to light for everyone to see in time. Will the NigBama supporters still blame Bush?  Yes they can!

You can stick the change up your asses.</description>

		<description>William B and NobleKin are so far off it is LAUGHABLE!

Two morons.

Obama is driving our bus off the cliff at a speed that is three times the speed of Bush. Anyone who can&#039;t see that doesn&#039;t understand what is happening. Congrats to those who can see what is coming down the pike. It doesn&#039;t take a brain surgeon to see that Cap and Tax, so called Health Care Reform, and mondo higher taxes and mega spending will sink our already damaged ship.

If you think that our standing in the world is better now, think again. Having Europe&#039;s progressive Liberals happy with our move to shared misery and our enemies and rivals seeing us as much weaker now with our Obama&#039;s apologetic stance is suicide.

These people are truly disgraceful.

Peace</description>

		<description>Even the job loss figure is worse than reported.  The jobs report is based upon the &quot;non-farm payrolls&quot; report.  The broader &quot;employment level&quot; report, which includes the agriculture sector, shows a loss of jobs in December of 589,000, the third worst monthly job loss of 2009.  

Obama continues to sit on his hands, doing nothing to restore a balance of trade and bring our manufacturing jobs back home.  No wonder unemployment is so high.</description>

		<description>I LEARNED WHEN I WAS FIVE YEARS OLD [1938] THAT YOU NEVER IMPORT MORE THEN YOU EXPORT, NEVER PRINT PAPER MONEY WITH OUT BACKING, NEVER SELL YOUR NATRAL RESOURSES AND BUY THEM BACK AS FINISHED PRODUCTS. WE ARE ALL AT FAULT FOR THIS. WE BUY WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST, NOT WHAT IS MADE IN THE U S A. WE GROW BETTER RICE IN THE U S A THEN THE JAPANESE. WE CAN SHIP IT TO JAPAN AND SELL IT FOR LESS THEN THEIR RICE. THEY WILL NOT BUY IT AS THEY ARE MORE PATPRIOTIC THEN WE ARE.</description>

		<description>As a former journalist, I disagree with the author of this article that the media will play up the bad economic news.  I believe just the opposite will occur -- they will look for silver linings and trumpet them for the Dems. As a former campaign manager for numerous legislative, Congressional, and statewide campaigns, I&#039;m optimistic Republicans will pick up seats in &#039;10 in spite of always having to fight the referee (the media) and their opponents (the Dems) when they get into the ring.  However, the momentum is peaking way too early for a landslide similar to &#039;94 -- at this point. It&#039;s possible Dems could do some unpopular things in &#039;10 which would increase anger (unlikely) or (more likely) there could be enterprising journalists who discover some shenanigans in the health care &quot;reform&quot; or (even more likely) terrorists could bomb again on our soil, which tends to rally people around the president but in this case could be used by Republicans to argue for more control to make the country more safe.</description>
