"lowering the unemployment rate to 8.1% from 8.3%. This is well below expectations"

I never get this. Who's expectations? I had no expectations, and am delighted and surprised.

I wonder how easily it is to be one of those whose expectations are counted, and what their political leanings are.

It is comforting to see that Sarah Palin is still as astoundingly stupid as ever.

As always, she sees herself as a victim somehow.

Hey, Riya, when you post links to the NYTimes paywalled site, please let us know. Some of us are not paid subscribers and have only ten articles a month to read that we would like to choose ourselves. (Sigh) ~N.O.

@9 You know, you can figure that out on your own if you just hover over the link. It's really not hard.
