A tale of two presidents: while the media drools about today’s “good” news that the unemployment rate was unchanged at 8.3%, flash back to how they reported 4.7% under Bush. How about “The weakness persists – there’s no doubt about it. We’re still not out of the woods,” she said. “The numbers were misleading last month, but there’s other indicators of wariness.” An America without journ0lists would be like fish without Chevy Volts.

4.6% to 4.7% unemployment from August to September 2007, but "danger lurks". 8.3% unemployment today with probably a 12 to 15% rate when counting the those who have given up or are underemployed and happy days are almost here again. It's a media bias and even corruption that probably gets the Democrats 5 points or more come election time.
February U6 is 14.9% down from 15.1% in January. Unreal that this administration has me researching the BLS website every month.
You wouldn't have to if the MSM were honest about it.
Nice post, Brent!
