Modest Job Creation in December

It's Official: Bush Creates Positivie Net Jobs in First Term

157,000 new jobs, a bit short of the 178,000 consensus estimate, but enough to reassure Wall Street that the expansion continues without setting off inflationary pressures.

More interesting, at least from a political-brickbat point of view, is the fact that George Bush just created net jobs in his first term. No longer is he the "only president to have lost jobs since Herbert Hoover." This BLS release, sent to me by Secret Super-Source "Deep Stoat," notes that Bush has created a net of 114,000 jobs since January 2001 (when you include the BLS revision to 2003's figures).

I don't think these figures are good enough to warrant cowbell. But they do seem like good political news; at least we can now say, "Awww, stuff it" when the Herbert Hoover quote is tossed out.

So, based on a commenter's suggestion, this gets not a cowbell, but a Vinny Falcone.

George Bush got a conductor like Vinny Falcone to ride this economy's ass.

Do you like your jobs? Do you want to keep your jobs?

Well do you?

Now they'll just say "the fewest jobs since Herbert Hoover."

Oh well, they suck like Hoovers anyway.

Look at that expression on his face.....oh yes....there will be no loose shit on his watch

I can see the headlines now....

"Fewest new jobs since President Bush announced the end of 'major hostilities' in Iraq after his famous aircraft carrier landing."

It would not surprise me if these are jobs that were created as a result of the ongoing conflict in Iraq.

Vinnie Falcone makes a much better image than Cowbell guy, his type of music is just plain better like it or not. And if you want to keep your fucking jobs you'll say so!

I heard on NPR of all places this morning, that it was most jobs created since 1999, for the year. Or something like that..
ah hell do commenters have to have sources/fact check? I’m not a blogger after all .... but I am no nick coleman either... So....

The Labor Department reported Friday that the 2.2 million new jobs created in 2004 were the most in any year since 1999,
quick search and voila

What is the CONFUSION on these job reports? I don't get it. What's it gonna be guys? Our economy is not gonna be as srong as our weakest link.

Posted by: Nordicgirl on January 7, 2005 01:55 PM

the job numbers are useless info.
the economy is out of control, literally. so is our society in a way.
compliance with federal and local regulations and laws is at a crisis point, regardless of what you may hear. (immigration,taxes,dollar,war,elections)
this pits everyone agin everyone.
this is always good for bidness for our benevolent fed goverment.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
