Fishing with Obama

Remember when Bush was in charge and the media screamed economic disaster? We had a “jobless recovery”. The economy was growing, people were making money, but jobs (always a lagging indicator) were not increasing fast enough for the NYT.
Well, Obama has created or saved something like eleventy billion jobs! We'd all be unemployed if Obama hadn't saved our jobs!
And, in an effort to spin as brightly we get:
"US Loses Just 345,000 Jobs in May, Raising Hopes":
"Economists expect the pace of layoffs to keep tapering off." (whoops-didn’t happen)
“The rise in the unemployment rate from 9.4 percent in May wasn't as sharp as the expected 9.6 percent.
"Even with higher pace of job cuts in June, the report indicates that the worst of the layoffs have passed." (We hope)I was listening to all this depressing news on the radio yesterday. I was on my way up to the Grand Mesa to do a little fishing with my friend and fellow fish slayer, Linn.
Here is the Thursday fishing report.
The Grand Mesa is always spectacular, There are many clear mountain lakes. The temperatures were cool, with a little snow still under the trees.
We did not catch 8 magnificent trout. Two of the fish we did not catch were Cutthroat
Trout. The other six were Rainbow Trout. All of the fish we did not catch we more than 15 inches and more than a pound in weight.
Dinner was delicious.
