travelingtragedy asked: What was it like?! Did you cry? I'd cry. Why didn't you take selfies with him? How did you meet him so many times. Is he as nice as he seems, I would probably have been speechless. Did he remember you?!!!
Wow, I missed this ask. It was amazing, no crying, no selfies, just a reach around.
For all you assholes who say obama created no jobs.
Learning time! Unemployment does not mean the the percentage of working age people not working. Unemployment means the number of people filing for unemployment but are still looking for work. Therefore, it is innacurate. People that stop looking for, discouraged workers, do not count towards unemployment. There are many factors that disqualify people to be counted. So lets look at a figure that is more accurate.
This is the civillian labor force participation rate This is the percentage of working age people that are curretly employed. You may note. That this is slowly declining despite unemployment being lower. As far as the jobs created. I have a response to that as well. I would also like to point out that under Bush, unemploymeny hit an as below 5% while the labor force participation rate, also remained high.
Also a large portion of the jobs created are part time work, because companies can not afford Obamacare and a large degree of economic.

Now what were you saying about Obama creating jobs? Because fewer people are working than when he took the presidency.
Yes, I will be an asshole and say Obama didn’t create jobs.
The Benedict gif (❤) + sassy use of “Learning time” + facts = the perfect storm.
I like the second image where they try to act like Obama maxed out at 9.5% when he actually hit 10%. Also that they note it was pre-midterms … So I guess unemployment went down when the GOP took over the House after the midterms, huh.
Is 7.5% the new normal? Something we’re supposed to be grateful for? At one point people were complaining when Bush had 5-6% unemployment (technically full employment) and had “only” created 4 million jobs. They’ll never be satisfied if it’s a Republican.
Fuck off. OP and America.
Bowhunting and Archery Information ArticleFrom way back when he was a VP hopeful…
Dream babe indeed!
Ah this article makes me too sad. To think of how hopeful we were this time last year :((
SUCH a dream babe!
why do jellyfish only sting when theres physical contact
why doesnt the electricity just surge throughout the entire ocean
why dont jellyfish rule the world
Perhaps because they are incredibly intelligent and benign creatures, who find it fascinating to see us explore the oceans, and have made their only defence mechanism the actual physical contact with their tentacles, because we have yet to learn to communicate with them and ask them permission to touch in the first place.
Or possibly it’s because jellyfish don’t generate electricity
Good Lord, how does this post have 100K+ notes!?
Anonymous asked: What kind of job do you have?
A political one. I get to study Paul Ryan as part of my job!
OMG OMG OMG!
No no no, BB, that’s not the post I wanted you to see! I have a brain, really.
Note the referring URL…hmmm.
Aw, BB, why’d you leave my page, no need to check out the other Ryanistas, I’m all you’ll ever need and more!
Okay … maybe I fell in love with Rand Paul just a teensy bit today.Paul acknowledged that the Bay Area and Southern California are tough regions for the GOP, but he believes there’s a bloc of quiet conservatives who would like to be courted by a Republican who’s sympathetic to their worldview — and nonjudgmental.
Yes, I agree. I identify as a conservative, but I will say some of the views and ideas seem very foreign to me because of how I was raised and what I was exposed to. California is a different animal than say the heartland.
He’s an enigma!
What I like about him is that he can appeal to a wide range of people. You don’t see many politicians who can give the Tea Party SOTU response AND be a favorite among young conservatives/libertarians at the same time. Could be a great energizing candidate.
? The Tea Party is pretty much libertarian.
Remember this? He’s so adorable and dorky I love it!

“I’m not going to open my binder for you.”
During a congressional hearing on Tuesday surrounding the investigation of the Internal Service Revenue targeting conservative groups, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) decided to deviate from his original line of questioning to react to Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) calling the IRS scandal “political theater.” At a House Ways and Means Committee hearing, McDermott acknowledged that members from the IRS staff did make mistakes, calling their actions “inept” and “stupid,” but he argued that it was not a part of a conspiracy.
T’was a bad ass moment.
Indeed it was.
Here are the videos, wow wow wow.
The IRS was doing that to people? That insane! Holy shit.
BB swoops in to save the day! I love how everyone applauded when they weren’t supposed to.
