HOW TO MAKE BAD NEWS LOOK GOOD

Unemployment is down! Unemployment is down! Yea!

Except:

while the President and some in the legacy media tout the 9.4% figure for July as a decline in unemployment from June, the statistic is based on a shrinking labor force. It's like a general saying, "The army's casualty rate this month went down slightly from last month, but then one of our divisions has deserted." That would not be a military force "pointed in the right direction" with the worst behind it.

The light at the end of the tunnel Obama's seeing isn't the end of the darkness -- it's an oncoming train, based on these unemployment figures anyway. To conclude otherwise is an exercise in seriously tortured logic. (via American Thinker)

Ah, that's alright. As long as it fools people a long enough to complete our destruction, that's all that matters.
