Been awhile. Friday's job numbers would have been about average for Bush, but the supposedly liberal press were at pains to deflate the significance of the numbers in discussing the number of census workers hired, and the pent up hiring due to earlier snow storms. Why does the press hate America?

But average for Bush would be a negative number, so when I say average for Bush I mean prior to the big meltdown... and of course after the earlier meltdown. So during that period between meltdowns during the (not so much) Bush boom.
