It was at 7.8

Liberalism is a mental disease - they write their own facts and then spew them nationwide for all the sheeple to believe.

Bush left in Jan 2009 - 7.8 as my esteemed colleague stated.

Its not like they're hiding this stuff....

It amazes me that the media makes up this stuff knowing there are public records showing the correct numbers.

I guess Obama still give Matthews that tingle in his legs

Liberals have been totally liberated from having to tell the truth.

They aren't even pretending to be honest anymore.

To be honest neither side is truthful.

Real unemployment? Probably.

What he doesn't tell you is that Obama is somewhere between 15%-20%.

Everything is relative.

Yup.. +1.

The U6 rate, which some people here selectively use when it suits their purposes, was 14.2% in January 2009. It's 14.7% now.

Mental disease lies blah blah blah.

Well, Chris Matthews doesn't even know what the U6 number is. And that is not a metric that the media ever reports.

Point is, Chris Matthews just pulled a number out of his a$$ instead of doing honest reporting.

 

[volinbham]

yeah I ain't buying Matthews was talking U6.

Either that or Chrissy is a bedwetter.

I have a good picture of Mathews in the cartoon thread, put there by a monitor suffering from SOHF.

Mental disease lies blah blah blah.

There are 1.3 million less people in the American workforce today than the day BHO took office.

The only people working overtime are employed at the food stamp printing office.
