That fake retweet is Harry Reid in a nutshell.

After today’s sucky jobs report came out, Reid had the nerve to say this:

Today's report shows why Republicans must join with Democrats to immediately extend emergency unemployment insurance. #renewUI

Here are some data Harry’s ignoring:

IMO, this is why journos should start reporting employment rate instead of unemployment rate. http://t.co/lP90iIIHqT pic.twitter.com/n45nT0g9W2

@SenatorReid Today's report shows Democratic Legislation to create jobs is an absolute hoax and a failure #hypocrite pic.twitter.com/1NQJRDdDbN

Clearly extending unemployment benefits has worked well so far. So let’s extend them some more!

@SenatorReid how about today's report indicates Dems should think more about employment rather than unemployment

@SenatorReid You are finally correct. Today's jobs numbers show what a disaster this President has been for the economy. And you.

@SenatorReid Actually, today's report shows you politicians do nothing but screw up the economy.

@SenatorReid no, it shows that Democrat policies reduce the incentive of people to look for jobs and instead look to government for handouts

Hi @SenatorReid Hey if employment rate is getting better why do we need to pass more emergency unemployment? I'll wait.
