With an election less than 3 months away, you'd think demoscats would be panting to get to their constituents to tell them about all the "good stuff" they've done on their behalf.

So, why are demoscats hiding out over their "summer recess"?

The Democrats' Running for Cover Summer Continues...

Nancy Pelosi claimed on ABC's This Week,

"We [Democrats] are very proud of the agenda that we have put forth to the American people..."

Yet, her Democrat puppets in Congress are refusing to face the American people when they return to their districts. Instead, they are running for cover. To date, few vulnerable Democrat Members of Congress have committed to engage their constituents face to face this August.

Below is a list of vulnerable Democrats, their opponent and whether or not they plan to face the voters or run for cover in August. If a Democrat is refusing to engage the voters in person, click on their name to contact them and ask why.

It's also no mystery why demoscats up for reelection don't want O'Bomber anywhere in their immediate vicinity.

Who knows, someone might ask demoscats...or O'Bomber exactly where all those jobs are that they claim to have created.

Subtitle to this post: "The Pollyannites."

We're used to spin from all White Houses so it is not surprising that Obama would try to put lipstick on a pig and gussy up the spectacularly bad jobs numbers from yesterday.

But the way they've gone about doing it insults the intelligence of the American people, as this IDB editorial points out:

Two years into the Obama era, when the U.S. should be enjoying a booming recovery from the 2007-08 meltdown, with millions of new jobs and higher incomes for all, all we see is economic wreckage from the unbelievably foolish policies pursued by the White House and the Democrat-controlled Congress.

Whether it's the $862 billion "stimulus" that turned into a welfare program for bankrupt states and public unions, or the $700 billion TARP program that became a giant dish of pork for Democrats and their supporters, or the job-killing duo of health care and financial reform, Obama, Pelosi, Reid et al. seem oblivious to the deep and lasting damage they're doing to America's economy.

Solis also repeated - with the stock market selling off 100 points as she spoke - the bogus claim made by the White House and uncritically parroted by its media pals that timely action "saved or created more than 2.5 million American jobs."

As we've said, this is utter nonsense. Completely made up. And, by the way, the official who made it up - Council of Economic Advisers chairwoman Christina Romer - quit on Friday to return to academia, her reputation for accuracy in tatters.

Here's the real record: America has lost 4.1 million jobs since Obama took office and 7.7 million since the recession began in December 2007. So most of the jobs lost have been under this administration. Whatever else you might call Obamanomics, "successful" isn't it.

The economy is not even creating jobs at a rate that would soak up those who are entering the job market for the first time every month. Economists believe we need to create between 120,000 and 150,000 jobs for that to happen. Coupled with the loss of 8 million jobs since 2007 and you can see why liberal economists are throwing up their hands and admitting defeat, telling us it will be a decade before we see that number of jobs restored to the economy.

Surely, many of those 8 million jobs lost are gone for good. But government stimulus isn't going to create the new businesses and perhaps even new industries that will presage the next great economic revolution. At this point, we can either play catch up or lead that revolution.

Obama and his advisors, despite their rosy scenarios, haven't a clue how to do that.

and if you do the math, jwhop you will see that 3.7 million divided by 12 months(2008) = 300,000/mo and 4.1 million divided by 20 months= 200,000/month, indicating the SLOWING of the recession over the period of obama's time in office. but don't let's forget that BEFORE 2007 we were already LOSING JOBS.

technology accounts for a great deal of this "recession" which is really hitting the working hamster (oops, call him a man) because it is cheaper (MORE PROFITABLE and therefore more acceptable to the SHAREHOLDERS) to use machines than people to make your money. just as the outsourcing that gained ground during the bush years caused the loss of just as many jobs here at home.
