Midknight Review -- new and revised: First time unemployment claims remain at 1.4 million for the [four week] month.

Again, the weekly "first time claims" report is weak, and came in at 366,000. This will, undoubtedly, be revised upward to a nominal 370,000.

The implication of this report? The jobs market remains "flat." Net net jobs are not being created.

Understand that it was Obama's team who came up with this fantasy phrase, ". . . . a jobless recovery." And, to think, there were reasonable people who believed that nonsense.

With this most recent report, we now know that the needle will be not be moving away from the "8.3%" registered for the month of July. No incumbent president has been re-elected when unemployment is/was 7.2 percent or higher.

Understand that this "366,000" weekly report means that 1.4 million Americans lost their job during the past 4-week month. Let that sink in . . . . 1.4 million folks losing their jobs in a single month. Keep that in mind the next time you hear Obama brag about "creating 4.4 million in 27 months," a number he uses without reference to the "net net" reality.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
