— Dave in Texas Are you braced? Does that feel better?
I know. It's a friggin throwaway from the AP on the dismal jobs outlook, peppered with some hopey feely crap, sorta. In this absurd lede:
Buoyed by good news on the jobs front, the White House claimed credit Sunday for reversing the downward economic spiral while bracing out-of-work Americans for a slow recovery.
Is this the most convoluted opener you have seen in a while? Good news! Get ready for more not good news! The only pathetic positive in this story is that people are being hired but they're temporary census workers. But this story doesn't even pretend there's any real good news here, it's just claimed in the first paragraph (that there's anything resembling good news on the employment front) and then goes on to explain to you, the reader, why there's nothing at all to be happy about.
Uncle Jonathan's corncob pipe!
I'm at a loss, I do not get the thinking behind Obama-lovin that tries to turn terrible news into something special. Or rather, that does it in such a lame fashion that absolutely no one who would read this would say "YAY!"
UPDATED WITH SUNDAY NIGHT STUPID: Create your own AP fantasy happy headlines. Commenter Cicero offered this one,
DONNER PASS -- (AP) Creative settlers cooperate to devise unexpected culinary creations.
You've got to break a few eggs, I'm told...
UPDATE, Purp
Check out this BLS chart. Pay particular attention to the trends in duration of unemployment. People are staying unemployed longer and longer as time goes on. To a non-zombie layman such as myself, this doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound like "recovery".
UPDATE [Maetenloch]
Well since everyone is jumping in, let me add my own update to the funemployment news. Here's a chart stolen from TigerHawk showing the duration of employment recovery during post-WWII recessions.

Assuming the dips are roughly symmetrical, it looks like at a minimum we've got another 2 years of high unemployment to go. Of course that's assuming this is just like the previous recessions. This time however may be quite different.

"The economy added about 162,000 jobs in March, the most in nearly three years. A large percentage of the gains were temporary census workers hired by the federal government, and the unemployment rate held firm at 9.7 percent. The additional 123,000 private-sector jobs were the most since May 2007."
Keep polishing the knob, AP. It won't help you in the end.

Government workers who are only being temporarily employed are keeping the 9.7 rate where it is, eh? What happens to those people after the census is over & King Barry no longer needs them?

This is the same Neil S. Alpert who in July 2007 was ordered by the city to repay nearly $70,000 in unauthorized expenses and unaccounted funds from a pair of local baseball groups he had chaired. He was also fined $4,000.

Yep. WND covered this a couple of days ago. The army is scared shitless about it, too. It is pathetic that the military doesn't think that the commander-in-chief can actually prove his eligibility in 5 seconds, though everyone keeps saying that he's done it already (for the election - LOL).
And this flight surgeon isn't even addressing the dual citizen issue (the meat of the problem) but merely the plain, old Hawaiian BC.
Any general who doesn't think the Commander-in-Chief can prove his American birth without any problem, at all, should really resign. I can't see how these guys handle the obvious cognitive dissonance they are emitting.

Okay, I'm going to put you some knowledge. After Pandora's Box was opened, the evils infected the gods. Hephaestus was condemned to a pit in Tartarus after Zeus found out he hid Pandora from him. There was a Hyperion gate in this pit that lead straight to Aphrodite's bedroom, but she never visited Hephaestus. She called him "worthless".

Then the oath was invalid and The Precedent had never really taken the office. He would just be replaced, now, as if he had died in office.
This was driven home by the fact that Roberts felt the need to administer the oath twice, just because he messed up a couple of words on the first go-round and knew that a valid oath was absolutely necessary before anyone can actually assume the responsibilities of the office.

Something similar has already happened when a solider didn't want to deploy without Obama giving proof of eligibility- if I recall correctly, they didn't make him deploy.
This guy will probably be offered an honorable discharge, and it will be swept under the rug.

I heard Judge Napolitano on a radio show discuss this when it was a big issue early on. His theory was that yes, Obama probably was born in Hawaii and thus completely eligible, but the BC probably contained some tidbit of information that might prove politically inconvenient (i.e., that his religion was noted as "Muslim" or that his race was marked as "Caucasian," due to his mother).
Still, it's all academic at this point.

Nope. Because the issue of multiple nationalities is his real problem with eligibility, and The Precedent has already admitted to one other citizenship, with there being a very reasonable assumption that he had Indonesian citizenship, too.
The issue might be "moot", but only because America has no backbone.

At the very, very least. I would think that such an act would constitute treason. It would certainly be a coup d'etat, literally, so whatever crime that qualifies as would be it.
You know that The Precedent's attitude about Honduras was pure projection. He supported Zelaya's attempted coup because his eligibility problem put him in the same exact spot. I was amazed that more people didn't see this clearly, as it was really too obvious to miss. (And I'm not talking about the BC, but about his dual citizenship, that he knew - even as retarded as he is - made him Constitutionally ineligible)

When wading through the options, another resource worth looking into is friends and family. Ask around to when if someone you know has had success with a certain practice, and find out about their experience. In the case of a good review, inquire as to the costs to see whether a similar procedure is within your budget.
