The American nightmare.

Only a lunatic fringe conservative Republican would be saddened by good news. That the unemployment rate dropped from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent. For normal people, that's darn good news. But Republicans aren't normal. They would much rather have seen a rise in the jobless rate. Even if that's bad for workers and for America. But for sick-minded Republicans, bad is good. As long as it hurts Barack Obama and the opposition party. Goes to show the mean-spirtedness of politics. No objectivity. No sense of fairness. No kindness. Our politicians have turned the American dream into a nightmare. --Jim Broede
