How utterly clueless can a politician be before his career is over? Harry Reid on the latest unemployment numbers: “Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.”
Reid was trying to make the point that the number of jobs lost now is a lot less than the jobs lost in 2009. But 36,000 people out of work is “really good”? Really good would be if the American economy would stop being restraint the burden and uncertainty created Obama, Reid & company and there would be a net increase in jobs.
Harry Reid has a track record of putting his foot in his mouth. Here is another example.
Reid will have a strong Republican challenge in November if he doesn’t decide to retire before then. He has stated that men without jobs become abusive toward women. If he finds himself without a job after the election, we can just hope that he doesn’t beat his wife.
