Media hiding the erosion of America

It's amazing the Main Street media won't discuss the 4.6 million jobs President Obama states he's created, but CNN recently found that the real number is a net job loss of 400,000 from January 2009 to date.
They (Obama/liberals) don't want to show that the participation of our work force today is the lowest it's ever been for any president. It's on a steep decline since Obama was elected, meaning more Americans are going on government programs, a culture Obama and the liberals believe is what Americans should do. If the participation level of our work force was at the percentage when Obama started, our unemployment number would be a tragic 11 percent today.
And finally, at the Democratic National Committee convention, for Obama to say he wasn't aware that God/Jerusalem were proposed to be omitted from their platform was bogus. As important an issue as this is, how can an American president not be a part of the approval to omit it or support it?
Main Street media hides the continual erosion of the America we all grew up loving.
All Americans need to join together and stop this from occurring.
