The incredible Obama Boom continues to spread prosperity! 157,000 jobs were created in January. The Unemployment rate went up and to 7.9%. The labor force participation is still 63.6%, which is near historic lows.
The new year started off with an old story: Employment grew again in January but not at a pace able to lower the jobless rate.
Nonfarm payrolls rose 157,000 for the first month of 2013 while the unemployment rate edged higher to 7.9 percent, news unlikely to alter the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy or instill confidence that the recovery is gaining steam.
Economists were looking for 160,000 net new jobs created with the unemployment rate holding steady at 7.8 percent.
The ho-hum jobs numbers for January were accompanied by substantial revisions higher for previous months, according to the report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Traders reacted positively to the report, providing a healthy gain at the market open.
If a Republican was President, the media would be destroying these numbers. But since it their believe god-king, well stagnant growth is great! 8 million Americans have left the workforce since Obama has been President and no mention of this by the media. Wall Street loves the report because it means that the Federal reserve will keep the money spigot open to prop up the market. Meanwhile American’s purchasing power and standard of living continues to decline. Low expectations is now the norm in American. This is unacceptable, but with the Media-Industrial Complex controlling the narrative, Americans are happy at stagnant growth.

@ Speranza:
Great times ahead. I read at one of the Lefty blogs that this is the strongest economy since the 1990′s. That we are in an age of prosperity.
Rodan, Do you want to prove any of the things you said to me on the last thread.
The BLS is the BBS, really. The Bureau of Bull Shit. These statistics are always low-ball stats, and are always revised upward after the incurious press has looked away. Unemployment is significantly worse than they admit.

What is your take on the jobs numbers? ARe you happy with this anemic growth?
If Romney had won, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, because we wouldn’t be heading back into recession right now. Companies would actually be hiring now, rather than waiting to see what the administration’s next boneheaded move would be.

They will be revised down next month. Plus November and December are usually the best months since its Holiday hiring.

Romney’s strength was actually the economy. Even people who voted for Obama admitted Romney would be better. But they love their god-king.
I still maintain that Obama won because of voter fraud. He manipulated and stole the election with fraud in just a few key areas. He didn’t need to have widespread fraud to do it, just a little in Ohio, Florida and Virginia.

Certainly the OFA high-tech targeting operation would have told the campaign where such fraud was needed, and how much would be necessary to get the job done without becoming obvious.
For that matter, while there was little done about old-fashioned ACORN-style vote fraud, there was probably some done merely to act as the crude loss-leader. Arrest a couple of crackheads registering “Michael Mouse,” and the media—squirrel!—will assume that “the problem’s been addressed.” And while they’re looking at that, you can put in your real fake voters, or hack an electronic machine.

Look I am not saying there was no fraud, but why can’t many Conservatives admit we lost becasue the Democrats have a better campaign apparatus, Romney ran a lousy campaign and the American people just do not like the American public? Did fraud potentially cost him a state or 2 sure, but that is not the reason Obama won. Until Republicans admit the American public does not like them, they will never win another election. I am not excusing any fraud, just I think there’s more than that.

Yes, Romney ran a poor campaign, and yes, the Republicans need a housecleaning that, if done properly, would take about ten or twelve years—and needs to start now.
The “Americans hate Republicans” thing is oversimplified. A lot of Americans have fallen for the propaganda there, and the Republicans have been stupid in the way they have responded to it. It needs to be addressed, but I’m not going to buy into the simple “hate” theme.

I sdon’t think Romney ran a “poor” campaign. I think he could’ve done better, of course. However, the liberals have most of the TV stations, all of Hollywood, almost all of the newspapers and the bully pulpit of the incumbancy. Plus they had the novelty-turned-de riguer of electing (and keeping in office) the sensation of a black man. So Romney’s campaign had the biggest obstacle ever in American presidential election history . . . along with the obvious (to me) voter fraud.
If Nixon had ran the same campaign as Romney in 1960, he would’ve trounced Kennedy.

The new DA a gofer for Royce West (Oak Clif area) State Senator and boss of the “black cacuss” in Austin.
Royce West is buddy of John Wiley Price the nut job “black panther” guy from Oak Clif area on the Dallas County Commish. Court.

The FBI raided John Wiley Prices home offices etal and found lots of stuff, the deal is on going now. Royce West is a very smart operator.
Atty, has a large pratice mostly getting the worst out of jail and stuf.
Her contacts thing it was one of the drug gangs , black or Mexican.
The Zetas have made a point of letting every one know they have hired guns ready and willing in Dallas, her contacts in the DEA tell her they know of at least 10 who come and go from Dallas. They have undercovers inside but have not been able to get one of them yet.

We conservatives have a clear message.
Only trouble is that when we put it in the Republican Party hands they miss spell it as bad as I do.

The Democrats are liars and frauds, the R leadership stif arms conservatives and makes deals with the commie Democrats them go in front of the TV like McCain and act like the give a rats ass when in fact they are the gofers for the main con artist the commie Democrats.
So we fix that and not worry about the commie Democrats and the msm as they are what they are and will not change.

The worst of the RINO’s will join the D’s if a third party gets any hold on any thing. That would leave the R party out of power total and the new third party not strong enough and it would take to long to merge the few good R’s and then new conservative party.

But the population will have grown by then, so we’ll really just be back to the employment levels of 2007, not what woudl have been considered full employment for 2022. And that all presupposes that the Economy doesn’t go South again before then, and we already appear to be slipping “back” into Recession. I think we’re in a permanent Recession until we can get rid of the Democrats. Their policies of high taxes and overly burdensom taxation guarantee recession.

The American public doesn’t like the caricature that republicans are portrayed as. When Fultan said the other day -- they don’t want what we’re selling (or some such) -- I wanted to scream that if that was the truth then why did they have to lie about everything?
War on women, Romney killed that poor woman with cancer, we want birth control outlawed (and don’t throw santurum at me because I haven’t seen one bill to outlaw birth control)… things like that.
If they had won on the TRUTH I’d admit the American public hates republicans. But as it stands I think they hate what we are “supposed to be” not what we actually are.

Moonbat is riding high off the fact that he was able to convince Californians to tax the rich (it’s for the schools!) while at the same time not advising them of the fine print in the bill that also raised the sales tax. He’s now planning to focus efforts on Proposition 13 repeal. I imagine his first priority is to repeal the 2/3rds taxpayer majority for instituting any new taxes, as “bootstrapping efforts to make California solvent.” If he sees this getting a “positive” response, my guess is the bill will reconfigure the property tax rates “because it’s good for our communities.”
They forget that there was a reason that Prop 13 passed in the first place. Counties had inflated the rates so egregiously that people were losing their homes because of an inability to pay. Brown offered his OWN version at the time (Prop 8) and it went down in flames. He’s never forgiven the voters for that ass-kicking. Time to shred his greatest failure.

So, her bunch is woring on getting money together to hire conservative like Mark Levin, even Ann Coulter, Mrs. Palin etla to counter events they can rig up. Example $25,000 for Ann.

One time I turned my head to figure out what was on a torn wall poster, and walked into a lamppost on a train platform. Taught me to look where I am going.
Sometimes dogs and cats can misjudge heights.

Notice Rodan has to prove shit to the attention-whore -- but whenever anyone asks the attention-whore a question, he runs away -- probably because the big yellow bus has arrived to take him to 7th Grade.

Actually, I’d prefer Dick Cheney myself.
It is many of us that have the opinion that the deal at the Texas Republican Convention when Ted Cruz spoke and then David Dewhurst spoke was the water shed moment for Texas.
Ted came up, the place went wild, full house, at the Tarrant County Convention Center.
Thousands of Ted for Senate signs waving crazy, ever one standing yelling for 5 min. Then Ted talks, 6 or 8 standing ovations as he spoke. At the end another 5 min. wild mad cheering, flag waving, sign waving.
Comes poor David Dewhurst.
Three or four signs waved for him , thats all.
Only polite applause when he came to the micophone.
He talked, no applause as he did.
He got done, the same three or four signs waived.
The leadership got its RINO shoved up its ass.
They now know we mean buss.
So they go for this George P. Bush kid with good hair and money to burn.
The fight is on.
@ RIX:
ObamaCare supporters are going to be unhappy with it, but the “fix” to ObamaCare is always going to be more government. That is intentional. ObamaCare, in and of itself, was never ment to succeed, if the goal was making health care cheaper and more accessible. The goal was always rationing and disaster, to be met with increasing calls for a single-payer system like Britain has. Never mind that Britain’s is a disaster. Obama and his ilk do not want to help the average American. All they want to do is reduce their quality of life, including ultimately their life expectancy itself.
This should come as a surprise to, well, nobody:
{From Weasel Zippers). My only hope is that Rodan is not holding any sharp objects at this moment.
Outsized Outhouse is a no responce troll, useless but for the fun of the laugh at the fool showing his ass time and time forever here.@ Carolina Girl:
@ taxfreekiller:
Ted Cruz is SENATORSATIONAL.
(Okay, that was hokey….but still)
@ Carolina Girl:
No need to pretend anymore. This is the “flexibility” he was talking about.

No kidding. He doesn’t even acknowledge other posters here who respond to him ….only Rodan. Rodan has a stalker in my opinion.
@ taxfreekiller:
I figured he had to be about 12, playing that pre-adolescent game of “annoy the grownups” and the reason we lost him every day was because Mom shooed him off to the bus so as not to miss his first-period 7th grade remedial reading class.
However if he is in fact an adult, I seriously recommend that he present himself to the Psychology Department at the nearby University as a case study in arrested development.
@ taxfreekiller:
heh.
great story.

And Spreanza — he seems to seek Speranza’s approval as well. Which gets them real ribbing by me on the email.

@ Carolina Girl:
Isn’t this actually redundant?
@ lobo91:
Redundant and unsurprising.
@ Iron Fist:
You’d think Rodan and Speranza have enough grief dealing with ME on the phone and the email…..
@ lobo91:
I loved it when Hagel was asked why he thought IRAN was so enthused about his appointment. Even the MSM can’t believe how truly dreadful Hagel was.
OT, but economically relevant.
I just stopped by the convenience store near my house and, upon checking out, the girl asked me if I had gotten any gas. I replied “no” and she told me that I may want to reconsider as at 1:30 it was being increased from $3.09 to $3.59!
Geez, a $.50 increase at one friggin’ time!? This is bullshit!
Needless to say, I filled up my car and went back in to thank the young lady for giving me a heads up (no small task when it’s 18 degrees in full sun)
Not to be outdone, Jay Carney, who does not seem to be grounded in reality, had this to say about Hagel yesterdy (emphasis mine):
Someone really should gift Jay Carney with a dictionary. Or point me to the entry at Amazon so that I can purchase the one he’s apparently using.
@ MacDuff:
So they’re raising the price of gasoline already IN the holding tanks. Lovely.

Have a good weekend everybody. Damn its going to be a long haul.
@ coldwarrior:
Oh, I know. My local Valero station gets its gasoline delivery on Tuesday and Friday mornings (because I see the shiny truck on my way to the transit station) and they raise the price every day. Amazing -- the oil companies make 7 cents on a gasoline, and they have to drill or buy it, refine it and transport it. Moonbeam and Oblahblah make twice that in taxes on a gallon of gasoline and they did NOTHING to obtain it.
@ coldwarrior:
Well, I know one thing -- it will be worth waiting for.
BTW Rodan -- I’ll cue up my Super Bowl thread at some point today unless someone else is taking care of it.
@ Carolina Girl:
Of course Hagel “did fine.”
His job was to look like an idiot to further the Obama line that “Republicans are idiots.” He’ll be confirmed anyway, so Obama will get what he wants—a patsy white man with a Republican label on whom he can blame the next few years’ disasters, and a willing hatchet man who will collaborate on gutting the military, including the US nuclear arsenal, under the cover of being a decorated veteran.
New Thread.

@ Carolina Girl:
You’re currently paying 67.1 cents per gallon in taxes on gas in California. 18.4 cents of that is federal tax.
Only New York is higher, at 69 cents.
@ Carolina Girl:
@ cold warrior:
I dig that it’s a commodity and I’ve been buying gasoline since the late 60s, but a 16% increase in one afternoon is pretty drastic spike and I gotta wonder what’s behind it.
@ 97 Rodan: Blogging is just a fireside chat over poker. People lay ideas out on the table and walk away from the table richer than when they arrived. If they played. Sometimes you gotta sheriff a few tinhorns to keep the game active.
@ coldwarrior: It would be good to legislate on just those three only.
@ Iron Fist:
That’s it.ObamaCare is the segue to single payer.

Anyone who doesn’t realize that hasn’t been paying attention. Jan Schakowsky, whose husband wrote the plan for it while seving time for bank fraud, said as much.
