6. It kind of makes me sick to think of where we'd be if the Repubs had co-operated

with the President to help the nation recover from a devastating financial blow.....courtesy of 8 years of Bush. But we ARE recovering and that is a fact. The Repubs will try to spin the Jobs Report as gloom and doom but it just is not so. I have heard a couple of reports (Moody Analytics and Becky Quick) and both characterized the report as "GREAT". Well, Moody's guy rephrased it to say it was VERY good. So there, Repubs. Take that.

What I don't quite understand is what I just heard on MSNBC Daily Rundown...that the Repubs are poised to ADD seats in the House. How on earth can that be? With all they have done to obstruct and stall recovery, I do not see how anyone could possibly vote for a Republican. In any office. One bright note. They said Michelle Bachmann is FIGHTING for her seat. Let it be said. Let it be done. Kick her to the curb. Hope we've heard the last from that Crazy Woman! And Joe Walsh is struggling, too. It's a good day!!
