Unemployment makes Obama proud

The unemployment rate is now at 9.4%, the highest in 25 years. The unemployment numbers for May have just been released, 345,000 jobs lost. In the Land of Obama, all news about him is good news. You've got to admire the guys delusions. Nothing gets him down.
Strike up the band boys! Unemployment is rising!
Here is his response. Enjoy the "uh"s.

Uh, on Friday we learned that we had lost, uh, an additional 345,000, uh, jobs in the month of May.

Bummer. But the happy, happy, joy, joy spin is coming. Wait for it...

Um, that was far less than was expected, uh,

That's the good stuff right there. Just find a vein and keep it coming.

but it’s still too many.

344,999 would have been fine.

Uh, that means that, uh, their families were still losing, not only their jobs, but maybe losing their homes, finding themselves under extraordinary financial straits.

Are Michelle and the girls enjoying their shopping trip in Paris?

And it’s a reminder that we’re still in the middle of a very deep recession, uh, that was years in the making.

A real man doesn't take responsibility for his actions, like his Senate votes, his party's support of sub-prime mortgage lending, his historic spending, money printing, and borrowing from China. A real man passes the buck to anyone else.

And its going to take, uh, a considerable amount of time for us to pull out of.

Translated from Obama-speak means, "Don't question me, ever. No matter how long the economy declines."

Uh, having said that, this was the fewest number of jobs, uh, that we have lost, um, uh, in about eight months. So it was about half of the number lost of just a few months ago.

Silver lining. Love it. But, you know, just to make conversation, maybe it's because there aren't as many people employed who can lose their jobs.

And it’s a sign that we’re moving in the right direction.

That's right. If you don't succeed with spending other people's money, try, try, try again. And then try some more.

The key is for us to build on, uh, the modest progress that has been made in, uh, the months to come.

Next month only 300,000 people currently employed will lose their source of income. Progress!

Uh, sst, when we arrived here, uh, we were confronting the most significant recession since the great depression.

Unless you count the recession in the early 80s that Reagan inherited with 13.5% inflation and 10.8% unemployment and responded with lowering taxes and removing restrictions from the private sector. Yeah, yeah. He's right. Obama has it worse. Spend on!

It was bad and it was getting worse. Had we done nothing, uh, I think it’s fair to say that, uh, most economists, uh, believe, uh, we could have, uh, really gone into a tailspin.

A tailspin. That sounds really, really bad. Glad we're only losing jobs and homes and companies and international confidence in the dollar and creating a deficit for the next several generations.

Uh, we decided to move swiftly and boldly, uh, and I signed a recovery act into law, uh, just over 100 days ago, uh, and we’ve done more than ever, faster than ever, more responsibly than ever, to get the gears of the economy moving again.

So quickly, so very quickly, in a speedy fashion, America has lost 1.6 million jobs in five months under Obama. Imagine if it had happened in seven months, instead. Thus is much better.

We created and saved, as you said Joe, at least 150,000 jobs.

"Created and saved". Interesting phrase. I've created and saved 15,000 lives by driving on the right side of the road. I've created and saved $7 million in groceries by not spending $7 million in groceries. I've created and saved 300 swine by not eating pork. Obama's use of this phrase is a misnomer, an made-up phrase impossible to confirm.

Jobs of teachers and nurses and firefighters and police officers,

Hmmm...government job, soon-to-be government job, government job, another government job.

uh, people who have been laid off are not being laid off.

Not sure how that is possible. People who have been laid off are not being laid off...from...being laid off?

Folks who, uh, might have seen that plant close, as you pointed out in my home town, suddenly they started seeing orders coming back in.

And people who shouldn't be seeing that plant close, like in my current home town, are seeing the plant most likely close down. So my home town cancels out his.
