    The news has just been released! The economy is fine!

    McDonald's just reported that they have hired 62000 people last month, more than twice than they had projected.

    Obummer has released his birth certificate, so, it must be ligit..

    Oh, and the sky is pink!

    I never thought that I would see a day when minimum wage, sub 40 hour jobs that still allowed one to collect food stamps, would be the standard to measure an economic boost.

    McJobs were a joke and an embarrassment when the UE rate was 5% under Bush, but at near 9% under a Dem administration, a McJob is a career!

    Hey, it's $4.99 for 20. That's a darn good deal.

    It's surprising how reasonably priced sawdust and ground chicken beaks can be when you pre-fry them in rat lard.

    They should just call the McNuggets. I'm not certain they're is any chicken involved.

    I think it's great. The less people on UE/welfare, the better for the USA, regardless of the prestige of the job. Plus, McDonald's offers full benefits, which is another big plus.

    I was only pointing out the hypocrisy of how McJobs are viewed through a political prism. I'm not sure how the First Lady feels about growth in the fast-food industry, but for me, a job is a job, and the more people working, the better for all of us.
