The Obama Boom hype is back. After several reports of slight economic improvements the media is back to proclaiming a boom. They have become cheerleaders in the hopes that people will believe the economy is good and this will assist Obama. In fact, recent polls show Obama’s popularity increasing again due to this propaganda and the Republican surrender in the lame duck session. The most interesting media source that joined this bandwagon is the Wall Street Journal. They are normally a Conservative/Libertarian leaning publication. But lately they have become fans of the Obama economy and are pushing the idea of a boom.
As the economy gradually recovers, some big U.S. companies are cranking up their recruiting and advertising thousands of job openings, ranging from retail clerks and nurses to bank tellers and experts in cloud computing.
Many of the new jobs are in retailing, accounting, consulting, health care, telecommunications and defense-related industries, according to data collected for The Wall Street Journal by Indeed Inc., which runs one the largest employment websites. It said the number of U.S. job postings on the Internet rose to 4.7 million on Dec. 1, up from 2.7 million a year earlier. The company daily collects listings from corporate and job-posting websites, removing duplicates.
Its figures may undercount available jobs because some companies don’t post all listings online, an Indeed spokesman said. Farming, manufacturing and construction jobs tend to be under-represented in online postings, while skilled computer and mathematical jobs are overrepresented, said June Shelp, an economist and vice president for the Conference Board, a private research group.

As anyone in the real world knows this is all nonsense. There are very little jobs being added to the economy since America is getting its clock cleaned by India and China. Many people are working at lower wages or living off of their 401Ks. Why the Wall Street Journal is pushing this Obama Boom propaganda is just baffling. They are right of center yet pushing a lie to help a Progressive president. I wonder what is going on here?
Update: Now the Hill website is pushing the Obama Boom theme.
Job creation is happening at a faster rate than during previous recessions — more good news for the White House and congressional Democrats who have spent the past two years defending their policies as the economy has slowly recovered.analysis released Wednesday finds that jobs are returning faster compared with previous recessions, despite greater overall job losses across all 50 states.
A Joint Economic Committee state-by-state
[….]
While the November jobs report released by the Labor Department reflected an increase in unemployment, some economists have said it’s likely a bump in the road heading into next year, with businesses signaling their willingness to accelerate hiring in the next several months.
The media will be pushing this propaganda in an effort to have Obama re-lected in 2012. Don’t underestimate these people. They convinced Americans that the economy sucked, even when it was OK (not great like the 80’s/90’s) around 2005. Also, notice the Progressive media is not mentioning the rising oil prices and if they do, it’s now a positive. Witha complacent media and pushover Republican elitists Boehner and McConnell, Obama is the favorite in my opinion to win 2012. They are laying the groundwork for this and don’t underestimate the Progressives.
Update III:Fox Busines also pushes the Obama Boom theme. In fact, their headline is very misleading.
Americans Feeling More Financially Secure
Sounds great until you read these key paragraphs.
Some 42% of Americans feel less financially secure now than they did a year ago, slightly improved from the same time last year where more than half felt unstable, according to a Harris Interactive poll.
[…]
Despite cautiously optimistic views, half of Americans said they plan on cutting back on their household spending in 2011. Of the money spent, roughly 41% of Americans said they will pay down debt, with 40% planning on saving more and 22% putting more toward retirement.
What is going on with Newscop? The Wall St. Journal and Fox Business have joined the Progressive lies about an Obama Boom. Why not report the truth that the economy is stagnant and America is the laughing stock of the global economy. I expected better from Fox and Journal.
Update IV:Here is a graph showing the truth about the job creation compared with other recessions.
This debunks the Hill’s story about jobs growing faster than other recessions. There is no Obama Boom people.
