Ya, Obama type jobs. You want them, you take them.

yeah i know. to the rich and the right wing, the middle class deserves
starvation.

No they don't but Obama seems to think so.

that new is so old it's rancid. why not look at more recent data:

http://www.cnbc.com/id/37464845/Job_...llenger_Report

The Challenger report indicated that the pace of job losses edged
slightly higher in May, as employers announced plans to cut 38,810
jobs from their payrolls.

This was 1.3 percent more than the four-year low of 38,326 job cuts
announced in April, but 65 percent lower than one year earlier, when
planned job cuts totalled 111,182.


so the rate of job loss has DROPPED 65% vs a year ago.

if that's failure, i'll take it.

If not for Obama part time low wage jobs, 15,000,000 unemplyed would be
15.411,000 unemployed. Putting real unemployment over 10%.

Long term unemployed unchanged at 6.8 million.

ah. so the rate of job loss has dropped to ZERO. that's ALOT better
than the legacy of your rich white buddy bush which saw unemployment
rocket from 4.7% to 10%
