“…the national unemployment rate soared to 8.1 percent — the worst since December 1983.”

December 1983 was, of course, nearly two years after Ronald Reagan took over from Carter and raised unemployment, lowered wages and benefits, weakened unions, and exploded the debt.

p.s.: I wish critics of stateofthedivision and hanshiro would really lay off for a while and stop their prejudicial views of what these two say. Stateofthedivision was NOT criticizing Obama he was just pointing out how bad the recession was becoming. And he knows extremely well it was Bush’s fault. I have read quite a bit of stateofthedivision and hanshiro and there is nothing wrong with what they say. I would guess the majority of posters here would agree with them if they didn’t begin reading them with a bias.

Apparently, we aren’t past the blame stage. This struggle of power is sickening. I have yet to hear anyone from the Republican side give a good plan. Seems like the only person working in our government is our President.

as long as we’re reminiscing, who recalls O.Bigfoot? He was about as scrofulous an old dittohead as they come. Good fun.

Oh, Lordy… I remember O Bigfoot. Talk about obnoxious… I recall hearing he got caught w/in 500 feet of an elementary school and had his parole revoked.

So sorry, Grover. Truth is, many more of us might be in the same boat by the end of this month. Hang in.

And of course Daryll has got to be given consideration as dumbest ever. So many idiots, so little time.

Carrying his pitiful “Rapture Ready” sign everywhere he goes, like a tortured cry to the heavens: I’m ready NOW Lord…

Daryll must be pretty conflicted these days. As eager as he claims to be for the Rapture, he’s also got a long-term plan to be a county commissioner. What if the Rapture happens the day before the election?

as long as we’re reminiscing, who recalls O.Bigfoot? He was about as scrofulous an old dittohead as they come. Good fun. IRI I recall, too – noxious, that one. And then there was old Jason M. Hendler – enthusiastic he was, and oh-so poorly informed, but he’d at least try to hold some ground w/out running.

they’re all just so tee-jus, then and now.

good times.

Back for a moment..tired of sitting long hour’s like I use to…Skiff of snow, cold and power outages today…

You are correct Bilbo about jk and many thing’s…I for one have not been around much to post here, been at The Zoo more and sadly AWOL in general..The long hour’s of posting and research are pretty much over for me..Back ache’s abound..

Sorry if I let you down by not posting my thought’s but for some of us we have done all we can do and now must just skip over now and then…

I won’t be critical of much at this point, in a wait and see pattern, I am concerned though and sometime’s I wonder if the change everyone saught may be to late because of all the damage bull shit bush and his bunch did and continue to do….P.B.& J

barfly, you’re discounting the stupidity of the short lived trolls like Joker giving the dumbest award out so casually. And of course Daryll has got to be given consideration as dumbest ever. So many idiots, so little time.

If we’re going with trolls from the past, I thought Bigfoot (the one who sold meat from his truck in New Mexico) could have been the dumbest one ever. Quite a feat I know, or in his case feet.

Who was the gun-nut, about 4 years ago? Oh, yeah; IRI. He was always good for a crank-and-NRA fueled blowout.

Exley was also good for chuckles, with his faux-professorial air, which deflated to “I know you are, but what am I?” ’s after about five posts.

This Economic crisis will bring into CLEAR FOCUS the TATTERED nature of America’s Safety Net.

It’s hard to DO something about a problem, until we recognize that we HAVE one.

As for the economy, I work in NYC in the Financial District. It really is ugly, sort of like dead man walking to and from the subway each day. Even the companies who aren’t responsible for dragging down the economy and are not taking taxpayer money like mine are in a real world of hurt. My area, 40% of the staff was laid off. It’s just sad and it’s not looking to get better anytime soon. Though I must say, still see a lot of people coming and going out of AIG’s headquarters, I really don’t like them.

Marie Says:
Bilbo, you are so right.
When people, particularly liberals, start blaming Obama for what they THINK he will do is really ticks me off.

Thanks for your support Marie. Fred, Unbelievable and I were out in the wilderness there for a while when we were calling SOD on his BS. I find it puzzling why so many people here kept quiet and didn’t say anything for the longest time. Or why some people (like Hiroshito) actually joined in and agreed with him.

It would be one thing if they blamed him for things he’s done. But they guess what he’s going to do and blame him in advance. Very annoying.

Not the slightest hint of an inflection in that green line; expect it to get steeper. Nicely played, chimpy. Where would the nation be without you? Outside my window, a family across the street is selling their furniture–on the street. You’re going to have to wade in deeper, Barack.
