Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, March 5, 2010, 6:12 AM
Hip-Hip-Horray! Only 36,000 people lost their jobs in February.
Harry Reid told the Senate today, “It’s a good day. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs.”
Via Evil Conservative:
Meanwhile, President Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and democrats are focusing all of their energy on the government takeover of health care. They’ll focus on jobs later.

after a while the job loss numbers hit a bottom because there are millions still out of work ahead of them.
olm commented:
Only 36,000! Yippee.
These people are insane.
Andreas K. commented:
You know what I want to see?
Good ol’ Harry go up to those 36k and tell them it’s a good day.
Think he got the balls for that?
Of course not.

Could we make Harry and a bunch more lose their jobs in November with no retirement? Then we’ll ask them if it’s a good day!
JPL17 commented:

I respectfully disgree. I think they’re focusing on jobs right now — destroying them, that is, because they want more unemployed people, who are less likely to oppose their takeover of health insurance.
SamThePlumber commented:
It will be a good day when Harry loses his job!

It isn’t “Good News” for the 36,000 who lost their jobs…..
Elly commented:
Comfy chair, ample benefits, pay at a scale he’s personally approved and a position which puts no requirements on abililty or intellect… yes he probably does think that our current unemployment is not so bad ::read, someone else’s problem, that he really doesn’t want to be burdened with::
Mike W commented:
Instead of pink slips companies can now give out “Good News” slips. And to make sure you believe them they will be delivered by people wearing white lab coats pretending to be doctors.
Its the end of America as we knew it.

Surely you don’t expect Harry to associate with the unwashed masses. They smell, you know.
I hope Dingy loses his job in November. Unfortunately, he has stolen enough money from the taxpayers to set himself up in style. He won’t be hurting financially, just his pride.
Jack commented:
Remember the Gov. hired about 1,000,000 people for the census ,so A lot more folks have lost job than 36,000 or whatever # they are throwing out.
jorgen commented:
We need to lose three jobs more and things will immediately get better: Obama’s, Reid’s and Pelosi’s jobs.
Kevin commented:
Hey Harry, Nancy?…….14 July 1789, a day you might just want to learn the history of, because you are headed exactly the same way!!
myna commented:
Sometimes it makes me wonder what Reid is sniffing these days that makes his brain goes haywire. Or must be all that botox injections side effect.
antilibr commented:
hey harry what about all the people that lost thier unemployment benefits you know the 50.000 or so people you refuse to count because thier no longer in the system…you know the real number….two of my friends are there,they would like to invite you and odumbo over for a beer summit.
antilibr commented:
myna hes not sniffing anything,his depends are over flowing and he’s just in a hurry to get them changed…..
Sojourner commented:
…O/T but related.. last chance to tell them where you stand is on OBAMA STATE HEALTH CONTROL…just got off the phone with mine:

The so-called “reconciliation” process is a red herring.
After the House passes the current bill, I believe that Obama is going to sign it as is. Any “reconciliation” will be after the fact, and after the elections.
This is indeed the last chance.
James commented:
Can you imagine if President George W. Bush had been president and Trent Lott had said this. The lib media would have played it 20 times a day through the next 3 elections, calling them out of touch.

Stupak Tries To Torpedo Momentum On Health Care Bill
[Barack Obama will make a speech tomorrow laying out the way forward on health care. It’s widely expected that he will endorse a reconciliation sidecar approach to pass what amounts to the Senate bill with a series of fixes outlined in his white paper on the subject. The process would begin with the House passing the Senate bill the week of March 19. The House would then pass a reconciliation bill and send it to the Senate the week of March 26. The timing is designed to stop Republicans from an endless series of amendments, which would eat into their Easter recess. I don’t think this will stop them, but some rulings from the chair calling non-germane amendments dilatory and out of order presumably would.
This is an extremely rough outline – we don’t know the substance of the sidecar bill. But procedurally, it does look like the House would go first, passing the Senate bill before the changes come into play (it would then be held and not signed into law without the changes). It’s unclear what kind of collateral House Democrats would need from the Senate – a signed pledge, a televised statement, who knows – before feeling free to pass their bill.
You can tell that the House is gearing up to pass something with respect to health care, because the Democratic media shop has floated to the AP some names of possible vote-switchers on the bill, which would be needed to move forward.]
via Rush: played a tape of Stupak
stating Obama doesn’t have a bill..
he also said once the House passes the
bill it will go straight to obama to sign..

robert/#23.. indeed, a red herring I know.. we have to keep fighting to make our voices heard.
Sojourner commented:
balls-begone harry.. his words are just about as believable as when Incompitano tells us that the ‘system’s working.’

No. Meeshell Obamao has them in a jar right next to Barry’s.
Finncrisp commented:
The job killing and baby killing Democrats are shameless. Harry in particular will soon find what a good day it is when he is unemployed.
As one who survived two layoffs, I can say that the day you lose you job is never a good day, and his detachment to human suffering is striking.
BigJ commented:
November 2nd will be a great day, when Harry loses his job!
bill-tb commented:
So another 36,000 strike out and get fired.
Let’s hope Harry meets the same fate in November.
Tom63010 commented:
Poll of 36,000 who lost their jobs revealed that 100% said that today really sucked!
Doh-San commented:
To paraphrase then-candidate Reagan: “A recession is when your neighbor loses his job; a depression is when you lose your jobs; and a recovery is when (Harry Reid) loses his job”.
Major Kong commented:
You think today was a good day Reid? Well, let me tell you that come Election Day and you lose your job; that’ll be a great day. Furthermore, on Inauguration Day of 2011, when your replacement takes the oath of office; that’ll be a fantastic-beyond-measure day.
jorgen commented:
I suppose that with Obama, Reid and Pelosi on the loose, one would have expected even more havoc. Make sure these three lose their jobs soon!
