Mission Accomplished? The "shadow of crisis has passed" but the unemployment rose... but The White House says you can ignore that because wages are growing (but Goldman says ignore that)... President Obama explains.

The unemployment rate is extremely misleading and grossly overstates unemployment.  The average "unemployed" American man performs a myriad of jobs during a typical day that aren't taken into account by official statistics.  Example:

- Acquiesce to carnal desires of morbidly obese wife (animal husbandry)
- Roll out of bed at 10am, take aspirin for pounding hangover (nurse)
- Crack first beer of day (bartender)
- Pop Eggo in toaster (food service)
- Wrestle dog for Eggo after dropping on floor (professional wrestler)
- Kick dog after losing (animal trainer)
- Apply dressing to dog bite (EMT)
- Fire up Netflix (projectionist)
- Threaten neighbor kids for disturbing Laverne & Shirley marathon (civil servant)
- Etc., etc.

And that's just before noon, my back-of-a-napkin calculations put the real unemployment rate at roughly negative 1470%.  Rag on Obama all you like, but America has never been better.

Why do they even parade this washed-up has been around anymore? Is there anybody left but dead enders who listens to a word he says? Does anybody really buy it? So what's the point of the farce - I'm sick seeing his ugly mug plastered across the Internet with some fresh collection of lies more frequently than I change my pants.

The Tao says that the best leader is one whom the people barely know exists. Obama would seem proof positive of that.

Why? Because otherwise the facade displays its true hollowness. So, even filling it with idiocy is an improvement, as it serves as something moot to fight over.

Also, why are you referring to any politicians as a "leader?" Leaders do not emanate from a ballot box.

A little upset at ZH here. When the unemployment rate was falling but the participation rate was also falling, ZH made it a mission to focus on the participation rate. Today the participation rate creeped up, which is very welcome for a change. Not one word from ZH on that! I thought ZH is better than that.

Dear Mr. Obama,
It is true, the American people are a shadow of what they once were. And I know saying this could get my ass imprisoned. But just like the American people, I dont give a fuck about your pathetic, grotesque influence that whispers troubled thoughts to a sickened mind. It's their fault for not telling me. I know my knowledge dwindles in comparison to those on this site and elsewhere, but I also know it doesn't matter. I know one thing. Your influence shall never destroy what was wrought, it can only stifle itself. And even then, as quoted by many great philosophers, this country could be the end of politics, religion, and wars of the future. Not to be destroyed by the likes of Obama.
