Unexpectedly! US employers only added 169K jobs in August, July's totals revised downward

Nope, Barack Obama still isn't trying to help you get a job.

I'd make a snide comment but my sarcasm well has run dry. Sorry. Five and a half straight years of Hopey-Changey schadenfreude will do that to a guy. But know this — if you're still an Obamabot and you don't have a job, my sympathy well is dry too.

July's job gains were just 104,000, the fewest in more than a year and down from the previous estimate of 162,000. June's figure was revised to 172,000, from 188,000. The revisions lowered total job gains over those two months by 74,000.

Gee, who'da thunk it, another downward revision. I sense a pattern, don't you?

Hey, you know what would be great right about now? If we added 12 million newly anmestied illegal aliens to the job market! That's right, while Dear Leader slouches toward launching World War III, Catholic Bishops have taken up the mantle of "immigration reform." This Sunday they'll preach for amnesty at every Mass.

Because we don't have enough people chasing too few jobs.

On the other hand, if President Golfpants does invade Syria with his Nobel Peace Prize in tow, he'll be needing some guys for cannon fodder. Wouldn't it be a stroke of genius, the Army paints Damascus or Bust! on the back of their trucks and drives 'round to Home Depot to collect every Juan, Domingo, and Jose they can find. You're in the Army now! Bwahahaha!

Whaddaya know, my sarcasm well wasn't dry after all.
