The Obama Administration and their Progressive media allies are celebrating today’s unemployment news. The Jobless rate fell to 10% and the job loss was only 11,000. The Left will claim this is a sign that greatest economic boom in history has begun. What is not told is that it’s Christmas and Hanukkah season, so there is seasonal hiring.

This is a Socialism and he has done nothing to help our real engine of growth, small businesses.
