You've probably heard the claim that all the jobs growth is part-time.
It's nonsense. Part-time work is declining! https://t.co/ja4OhrHk1w

Where are we at?
- Low unemployment
- Rapid job gains
- No inflationary pressures
...and so the boom goes on.

Thank you, Nerdy
This post says it all!!!!!!
Congrats, Vicki.

DITTO………………………….I ALSO SIGNED UP TO LISTEN TO THE PHONE CALL WHILE I’M WAITING TO RUN ERRANDS…SO IF I’M NOT HERE…I’M THERE….LISTENING TO THE ENERGIZER..:)
:)
:)
Quite an Accomplishment, with Zero help from the Opposition Party, the GOP.
Thanks, Pres Obama! Bravo, Mr. President!
Thank you, Nerdy Wonka! >-I ;)
Congrats, Vicki on your Golden :star: :)
Nena, it can’t be said enough that it was worse than zero help, it was aggressive attempts at hindrance every step of the way. They ‘willed’ PBO to fail and he said essentially told them to get out of his way.
:)
NCLB, I’m trying to decide which is more absurd-Mussolini’s gaudy cap or Trump’s mop. I think Trump edges out Il Duce in the crazy head gear department.

TILL THEN…TOO MANY DO NOT APPRECIATE THIS TRULY GREAT,COMPASSIONATE AND DEVOTED PRESIDENT. I WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT UP WITH ALL OF IT…HATERS WOULD ALL BE BURIED IN MY INFAMOUS SPITBALLS!.NEXT!

“SEE MORE CARTOONS HERE” SHOULD BE A BANNER OVER EVERY CONGRESSIONAL BATHROOM MIRROR WASHINGTON CAN FIND!..AND ALL TOILETS SHOULD BE ENGRAVED…’TAXPAYER FUNDS!’….LET ME DO IT..I CAN PAINT!
Happy New Year, El Chapo ;)
His Club Med days are over

IT’S ABOUT TIME….TEARS ARE A PART OF LIFE…I WOULD WORRY ABOUT SOMEONE WHO COULD NOT CRY!..PASS THE KLEENEX…BBL…………………..

Posted this to offset the dipshit comment that was already posted in response to the above. By the way, I’ve blocked the dipshit.
Whew! that was pretty close, I didn’t know which way he was leaning.
So Money Can’t Buy All their little KOCHroaches hearts desire?
I guess the GOP field has too many billionaires to chose from or they finally are dealing with one of their own who has his own money.
The Koch’s are realizing how irrelevant they are. Boo hoo, cry me a river :-(
They are busy building their own party. From what I read they took the data from the RNC to build their own voter system but are not planning on returning the favor as they update and expand it. These people are fooling no one. Whatever they say its always going to be some kind of mask of their real intent and strategies. What a scourge on our country. Much like Rupert Murdoch.
If Democrats had not run from President Obama and Obamacare in droves, we’d have a DEM House & Senate.
That’s why I delete all Dem fundraising emails and won’t take their calls. I don’t sign petitions they ask because they turned their back on PBO and wouldn’t defend the nasty things said about him and FLOTUS. I will phone back, canvass, etc., and vote DEM this November but they won’t get a penny from me.
Me neither jojo.
Same here
Anderson Cooper suffers from Affuenza…..
Not Affuenza, however, Cooper is now a Creature of Corporatism unlike Aaron Brown, the Former CNNer who in 2005 helped Nationalized Cooper’s rise in the $10M Annually raise over the years. Cooper is 100% better than Wolff.
ANDERSON HAS SUFFERED GREATLY IN HIS OWN LIFE…YOU NEED TO READ HIS BOOK..DISPATCHES FROM THE EDGE…HIS BROTHER COMMITTED SUICIDE.. AND I DON’T THINK HE TAKES MONEY FROM HIS WEALTHY FAMILY…HE LIKES TO EARN HIS OWN. HOWEVER HE HAS LISTENED TO TOO MANY REPUGNANTS…WHICH IS WHY HE ACTED AS HE DID AT THE TOWN HALL!
Obama administration plans shake-up in propaganda war against ISIS
New homeland security and State Department initiatives reflect rising White House frustration with largely ineffective efforts so far to thwart the militant group’s ability to draw recruits and incite attacks.

Daesh followers are like Trump followers…..No matter what they do or say, people still flock to them.
WELL…..MY PUTER WOULDN’T WORK FOR THE PHONE CALL…STORY OF MY LIFE…ANY TIME I HAVE BEEN EVEN CLOSE TO MEETING PBO SOMETHING HAPPENS TO PREVENT IT AND I’VE BEEN AROUND AS LONG AS HE HAS. I HAVE SUCH AMAZING MEMORIES FROM THE CAMPAIGN AND UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF MY PARTNERS I WORKED WITH SO OFTEN..PASSED. IT BROKE MY HEART AND I ALWAYS THINK OF SWEET TERRY. SHE WAS AFRICAN AMERICAN…WE WERE THE SALT N’ PEPPER TEAM AND LOVED EVERY MINUTE. I TOOK ALOT OF HARRASSMENT THEN…ME AND MY OBAMA BUMPER STICKERS AND OF COURSE EVEN UP UNTIL I LEFT MY LAST CHURCH. IT NEVER SEEMED TO END. BUT I HAVE SO MUCH FAITH IN GOD AND ONE DAY THE WORLD WILL LEARN THE MISTAKES THEY MADE IN MISTREATING THE GREATEST PRESIDENT IN OUR HISTORY. GOD ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO SHINE A LIGHT ON TRUE JUSTICE. JUST LIKE LAST NIGHT…EVEN IF JUST A FEW PICKED UP ON TRUTH…IT’S ENCOURAGING. I AM SO TIRED OF HATRED AND VIOLENCE…BBL…………………………GOD BLESS MY PRESIDENT!
Sorry to hear that.
“GOD ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO SHINE A LIGHT ON TRUE JUSTICE. JUST LIKE LAST NIGHT…EVEN IF JUST A FEW PICKED UP ON TRUTH…IT’S ENCOURAGING. I AM SO TIRED OF HATRED AND VIOLENCE…BBL…………………………GOD BLESS MY PRESIDENT!” Yes he does. And it will be a bright spotlight that shines on President Obama.
Police: Suspect confessed to shooting Philadelphia officer “in the name of Islam.
Yet the media is reporting that he said ” in the name of “isis” or the ” islamic state.”

They are so dishonest it makes me physically ill. At least Thomas Roberts is correcting those who insist on misrepresenting this and clarifying what the police actually said.
Many just don’t Understand how US Laws work. POTUS is Federal, not State Laws.
LIVE NOW
I just LOVE hearing his voice in my ear :-)
Yeah, so people have so lost their minds they’re even now trying to attempt to kidnap President Obama’s dogs. JHC.
Say what?!!
You can’t make this stuff up!
Another RW gut nut with emphasis on “NUT”
Except that’s Sunny. Fourth Estate indeed!

Lord Please Have Mercy….That’s why I keep ALL the Obamas, Bidens, their administration in my daily prayers. Thank you for Lord for watching over and protecting President Obama and his family including his work family.
He is a walking example of the types who PBO is trying to protect us from

Wow, what a remarkable couple, what a lucky little girl……
If the crazy guy in PA had taken a smart gun from the police….just sayin.
Yep
LOL!
In my almost fifty years on this earth I have yet to meet, run across or hear about someone with the name “Smoothie” or “Shifty.” Now “D-Money,” on the other hand I’ve heard of plenty of D-Monies. You can’t even watch an old episode of Law&Order without an AA perp going by the name of D-Money. And D-Money usually isn’t even the main culprit, he’s usually a snitch.
Ken Jennings is my kind of Mormon.
More Republican freakout:
As a MN viking fan, If Wisconsin seceeds, i propose building a yuugge wall around Green Bay. and a moat, with alligators, with lasers on their heads.
When all of these states secedes, don’t come crying to the federal government when they are hit by natural disasters and eat poison food. I am so sick of these hypocrites.
Even if they did seceded, they’d still show up at our doorstep drunk and begging us for shit.
LOLz, no doubt.
One of the ringleaders.
This can backfire on these bastards and as usual they haven’t thought this through.
No more FEMA funds for you. All you Red states that Blue states have been propping up, you are on your own.
Texas Governor is another dam idiot. Doesn’t shock me, most of Texas people are too.
I know there are some good people in Texas. It’s just that they are drown out by the doe-doe birds.
Hahahahahaha, I feel his joy :D :D
Because that is who he is…
the creep thinks he sounds ‘Presidential’
………………
How sad I am that we live in what supposed to be the greatest country that we have an anchor babies and people whose families came to America from other countries and who wants to be President saying despicable things to immigrants who want the same things.
Look how evil his face is
JUST LOOK AT THE EVIL ON THAT FACE!
If I were in that audience, I would have suggested to Rafael Cruz that he should be deported to Canada where he was born.
Enlightening.
And Steven Rattner, they are racists bigots.
The dumbing down of Amurka is complete.
