Obama has made Joblessness 'fun'

From Ace: Oh. My. God: LAT Times Finds the Fun in Unemployment, Coining the Term (and I'm Not Kidding) "Funemployment"

During the Bush Administration, the left and media (BIRM) constantly sought to inflate Bush's actual unemployment numbers by guessing at the number of "discouraged workers," workers who had become so discouraged at trying to find work that they'd given up. They were unemployed, but no longer drawing unemployment benefits or otherwise getting their numbers on to the official government lists, so they were "invisible unemployed."

And every week the left talked them up, and guessed that these "discouraged workers" would, if properly counted, goose Bush's actual unemployment figures by something like 50%.

So:

Anyone heard of any "discouraged workers" lately?

I guess that was a made-up stat that applied only to Bush, just like "jobs saved" is a made-up stat that applies only to Obama.

I'm waiting for the LA Times nbext article on the joys of the "funinsured," or maybe an expose on our "funderperforming" public school system.
