Washington, D. C., July 17, 2009 (eGrumps Commentary)
The Administration proudly announced today that 34 states have less than a 10% unemployment rate. A spokesman said “Considering today’s economic climate, and the mess the prior administration left us with, we consider this a remarkable achievement.”
When questioned by eGrumps as to the unemployment rate when Pres. Obama took over, he stated “We are extremelly proud of our record. We think the rate of unemployment is actually decreasing because the rate of increase in unemployment is decreasing.” eGrumps said: “Huh!”
It was pointed out 16 states had an unemployment rate of over 10%, The spokesmman proudly announced, “We are quite pleased, it could have been 50 states with over a 10% unemployment rate, and we are a long way from that. Time is on our side.” he said. eGrumps, in his usual brilliant rhetorical style said: “Huh.”
eGrumps responses were memorable. Other attendees at the press conference said they had never, ever heard such clear, concise and inciteful commentary from anyone in the Washington Press Corps. They were considering nominating him for a Pulitzer prize. When told of this, eGrumps said “Whee! – will I now make as much as Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers?” (Another inciteful comment from him.)
