8.5%

The national unemployment rate has dropped to 8.5% after 200,000 jobs were added in December.  Oh, no!  That's 11 months in a row of jobs being ADDED!  Republicans want to go BACK to the good old days of Bush when the U.S. was LOSING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS PER MONTH! 


One can only imagine how much better the economy MIGHT be if Republicans didn't try to thwart every single thing that Obama has tried to do.

And then you have the issue of Obama finally using recess appointments to fill the new Consumer Protection agency and the National Labor Relations Board.  Obama did this before the Republicans could set up a "pro forma" session in the Senate.  But of course we had Bush using recess appointments when the Democrats actually HAD a pro forma session in place, but Bush made the recess appointments anyway!  Did Democrats threaten to sue?  Not hardly.  

Geez, I don't think I've EVER seen a more despicable group of people than the current-day Republican elected "leaders."
