What does this mean?
Politico has a section on their site where they put up breaking news. Right now it says...

Worse than expected: Payrolls drop by 598,000 jobs in January, the most since '74; jobless rate rises to 7.6%., AP reports.

ALSO: David Gregory spotted leaving White House just before 9:30 a.m.


What is the significance of the Gregory part? Anyone have any ideas?

1. Is Gregory significant in ANY sense? Only in his being a mouthpiece for the corporate media.
Also - weren't the pukes touting the "fact" that the number of jobs lost last month was actually "better" than expected? The "experts" were predicting over 600,000 and the number came in lower. Politico cannot get anything right.

3. Hey repugs, keep obstructing any type of recovery
package, your constituents will thank you in spades later on. Or with pitchforks, your choice.
