Highest Unemployment in TWO Decades

10.2%.

And, that doesn't count the number of people whose benefits have now run out.

THANKS Obama.

Record unemployment AND record debt.

Yep. YOU changed things.

Oh joy!

AND... the average work week is 33 hours.

LOWEST on RECORD.

And, there are actually people who want to trust these incompetents with our HEALTHCARE????

They can't even provide enough flu shots. If BUSH would have pulled this mess, there would be people calling to try him for treason.

But, Obama... the ANSWER.

Oh this ignorance and blind following is just maddening.

boy did you nail it all .just wait they will find away to blame Bush.where are all the 3 million jobs he said would come when he was elected....same oh same oh.and he wants us to believe in his healthcare

I think, if the American people were intelligent, they would take what Obama says, and believe the complete OPPOSITE.

The man lies.

Pelosi and Reid lie.

Their agenda is ANTI-AMERICAN. They want to RESHAPE our country, our constitution and our complete way of life. Does ANYONE out there ever ask WHY they are doing what they're doing?

What they say COMPLETELY negates what they have actually done, and yet... people still trust them. Incredible.

Absolutely and sadly incredible.

It took Bush 8 years to put us into this mess and you want Obama to wave a magic wand and make it go away in 8 months? If Obama fails, as you and the Rush Republicans hope, we all fail and your ass might starve. Just sit and bitch instead or getting out and doing something constructive to help yourself. Republicans. Cant lead, cant follow , cant get out of the way.

Were do people get the idea that White House administrations have direct (flick of a switch)control of everything??? If you think one man controls this nation you are wrong. Spreading hate does nothing but destroy your creditability as someone looking out for the future of America. If you really care, and I know that you do, lighten up and get involved in making some real changes.

I don't think anyone expected Obama to "wave a magic wand and make it go away." I think it IS realistic, though, to expect that he NOT take actions to COMPLETELY TANK the economy, like HE HAS DONE.

And, before you continue the typical leftist insulting "sit and bitch, you Republican" type mantra... I have been a LIFELONG Democrat until recently.

YOUR response is typical leftist HOLLOW CRAP.

How do you know people who are complaining about this takeover of our lives and tanking of our nation are NOT doing something to make real changes? You don't.

Speaking of controlling everything.. everyone in America, including you who have stuck your heads in the sand and followed this regime blindly, are getting ready to EXPERIENCE IT with the passage of this unbelievable, expensive and freedom robbing government takeover of our personal lives through what the leftists label as "healthcare reform."

Marxist and communist manifestos written in foreign history books I used to read in college years ago spoke of destroying their enemies NOT with bullets and bombs, but with the systematic brainwashing of the people, who would blindly follow propaganda into complete and utter defeat. Those books always haunted me and I am NOW seeing them played out right before my eyes. Those on this forum who cannot speak about issues logically, but can only slam those who do dissent are PRIME EXAMPLES of exactly what has happened to the American public, who are voting people who promote UNconstitutional agendas into political power... simply because they hear an "easy fix" for themselves, and take NO account of whether that candidate is loyal to upholding the Constitution of the United States. By doing voting people into office who want to reinvent this nation, you are SURELY going to get your way... and become enslaved to the UNconstitutional mandatory mandates which will surely enslave us further to trillions of dollars of DEBT.

Save your "spreading hate" CRAP for the mirror. It's a VERY old mantra that just doesn't wash.

It's VERY SAD that there are still people left who place credibility in this lying Democratic regime.

Their stimulus package HAD to pass or unemployment would go to 9%. If ONLY Congress, in their oh so competent wisdom, would pass the package, then unemployment wouldn't go to 9%... it would be at 8%.

It's 10.2% now. AND, the "jobs created" by the wise one's stimulus money are marginal, at best. They actually cannot even put out ACTUAL numbers of jobs created.

Now.. their health care/health insurance/whatever the mantra of the day label of reform that just passed will make all of us "healthy, AND reduce costs for America's people by billing them for the 1.3 TRILLION dollars it will cost. An IDIOT would not miss the contradiction in that premise, but blind followers WILL believe it. The government is now in charge of our health care. They cannot even make sure we have an adequate amount of REGULAR flu vaccinations, much less the H1N1 vaccinations they claimed we MUST have in order to stave off the mass casualties of the swine flu (talking about fear mongering!!), but they'll surely take care of ALL ASPECTS OF OUR HEALTH CARE now.

If it weren't so frightening to see how blindly people line up to follow the pied piper , the "head in the sand" ignorance of those who believe this Marxist regime is just MIND BLOWING!! They must be enamored with Obama's rhetoric or aura because there is no way these blind followers of him are basing their loyalty on ACTUAL FACTS.. because the FACTS prove Obama to be incompetent at best, or a calculated liar who is out to turn our nation into a marxist, socialistic regime.

He lies and blatantly gets caught in the lies with virtually NO change in rhetoric from those who promote him. THAT is frightening.. not because of Obama or his regime, but rather the American people who are, quite literally, selling the nation out by blindly standing by leaders who are shredding our Constitutional rights... all in the name of "what the government can do for you."

You're getting ready to get your wish at a cost I am quite sure you cannot comprehend.. YET.

I will say you have a lot of passion! I hope you have some stress relief outlets in your life.

Why don't you quit going to Walmart? Walmart has cost America a lot of jobs, but people keep trotting back to good ole Wally World. Bush started the bail outs, and who are we kidding anyway democrats and republicians don't run this country. It is the lobbyists who run this country and tell the politicians what to do. I believe we need term limits on Congress, they do not need to stay until they are 100 years old. All they talk about is free trade, free trade has cost this country millions and millions of jobs for what, so corporate America can make more money. Let's not kid ourselves, politicians are going to do what is in the best interest of their job not the people, so maybe if their job was on the line things would be different.

You are right, neitehr Bush nor Obaba controlled this whole nation. People need to make their own jobs rather than to wait on the government or these business people. Everyone has a talent or skill that is marketable and they should be right on that. But most will admit, I'm just too messed up to work, too worried and too sick.

Trade is never free. What do we trade? What do we get? What comes into this country is usually substandard goods that have cause more problems than savings to one who buys them. Americans need to create their own stream of income and be willing to pay a little more for quality and tell the government and the importers to GTH.

As we're hearing this morning of jobs in California that Obama claimed to have saved were never in danger to begin with, as I'm glancing through papers from around the country this morning, I'm seeing Obama's fuzzy math all over the place.

What a lying joke he is. It would be funny, if the bill for his lies weren't on our backs.. if his lies weren't ruining this nation.

He is either incompetent or treasonous.

Remember, Obama is the one who knows all and can save everyones job. 750 billion spent and all we have to show for it is higher unemployment. Thanks for nothing. I bet there are alot of folks who wished the ole boy from Texas was back.

Exactly.

Sick of It, I agree with your posts! Our nation is in a ridiculous situation, and it is even more ridiculous that people are so blinded by Obama's charisma that they do not see the truth about him. Charisma is for movie stars. Our nation should elect people with the ability to lead our nation capably. We didn't this time, and we will suffer for it for a VERY long time.

I did not like Bush. But, George Bush's Presidential foibles PALE in comparison to Obama's extreme incompetence.

Obama is doing an abysmal job of attempting to be President of this nation. Absolutely abysmal.

You may not like Bush either, but even HE wasn't as incapable and damaging to this nation in his entire eight years as Obama has been in less than one year.
