From the New York Times...
Despite signs that the economy has resumed growing, unemployed Americans now confront a job market that is bleaker than ever in the current recession, and employment prospects are still getting worse.
Job seekers now outnumber openings six to one, the worst ratio since the government began tracking open positions in 2000. According to the Labor Department's latest numbers, from July, only 2.4 million full-time permanent jobs were open, with 14.5 million people officially unemployed.
President Obama was apparently unimpressed by this news when it reached him in yet another TV studio where he was emitting still more meaningless blather.
"Maybe those are big numbers," Obama quipped, "but... I can't count!"
(Mr. Obama was probably referring to his puzzling announcement that "I have been in office for just nine months -- though some days it seems a lot longer," on September 22 at the UN, only eight months and two days after his inauguration.)
And since nobody cares about unemployment when there are much more fun things to think about, like those evil Republican racists and their latest shenanigans, the rest of this diary consists of a semiotic and psychoanalytic analysis of Obama's slip, quip, gaffe, or goof about "nine months," beginning with the Freudian headline...
Obama's Occult White-House Pregnancy!
