Letter to the Editor: Reader takes Obama to task for U.S. economic decline

President Obama recently said, “In January, American businesses added another 257,000 jobs,” and that the economy was on a roll. That is great news, but he forgot to tell you that in December and January alone there were more than 2.5 million fewer people working. This is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ own table published Feb. 2, 2012.

Mr. Obama, if the economy is getting better, then why did new home sales in the United States hit a brand new all-time record low during 2011?

If the economy is getting better, then why are there 6 million less jobs in America today than there were before...

Hello Ladies of the Record: Wollman's assertions should be 'fact tested' before he is allowed to make these remarks public in your otherwise very professional newspaper. Perhaps it would lend credibility to your paper if you printed some disclaimer before his letters. He's either an ignorant ditto head of Rush Limbaugh or he's a Con man making comments without concern for truth, fact or implication. He's a liar, using irrelevant statistics to ferment disrespect. A wicked Pox on him from me!
