Ratigan's big headline today: Every time unemployment goes up President Obama goes overseas
Does he think there is a connection there? Does he actually think that the president going overseas makes unemployment rise? Or is he just being an asshole?

I think we have found Lou Dobbs real replacement.

1. These trips are planned weeks if not a month in advance.
Logistics makes it impossible to be a last minute trip. Stupid premise.

2. Well, unemployment has "increased" every month
of the Obama presidency. The INCREASE in the unemployment rate is negative, but unemployment is increasing.

Started before Obama took over.

So, yeah, every time Obama goes overseas, more people are unemployed here.

It's much like saying "Obama goes overseas only when the sun rises in the east".

3. Just catapulting the propaganda...
for the love of god, unemployment has risen every single month since before Obama took office. Everything Obama does, he does "when unemployment rises." Everything you and I and everybody else does, we do "when unemployment rises." At least, until it stops rising someday.

5. Fake friend, trying to hide with plain folks
He is an Ass hole I stop looking at him long time ago. he from cnbc the money people show. they don't like Obama. scare he going to stop their money tree. He just pretent he on the little people side so he can confuse people to not belive in hope but fear, just like fox news. If you just pay close attention you will see he have nothing good to say about obama. Obama not perfect but he not all that bad like they are trying hard as hell to make him out to be (Money stick with Money)Obama didn't choose Money after college he chose service to people.

6. Unemployment goes up everyday.
A more accurate headline would read: "Every time Obama goes overseas the media brings up unemployment"
