No worries. Its only because unemployment lags behind recovery or stabilization or whatever sunny euphemism hes using now to spin the nightmare. Its probably just a quirk of my online reading habits but Ive stumbled across more pessimism about the economy today than Ive seen since the stimulus passed in February, which makes me wonder if public confidence in The Ones blueprint is starting to deteriorate in earnest.
Start with Mort Zuckermans harrowing op-ed about how things are much worse than they seem, with the possibility of sustained unemployment at 11 percent ahead. Then read Politicos description of the widespread disdain it found when it surveyed economists from across the spectrum about Obamas growth projections. Proceed to Time magazine, normally a reliable cheering section for Barry O, where the stimulus is now being pronounced an early failure.
And cap it off with new poll numbers from Gallup showing a six-point downward swing on whether the economys getting better in just one month. The good news for Obama is that the early rosy projections will be forgiven once things really do start to turn around. The bad news is that blowing $787 billion on a non-fix wont be.

Errr... Marxism cannot turn around capitalism.
CA is sinking fast. They lost more jobs in June than Jan and seasonally this is supposed to be an up month.
When winter really hits and summer jobs go away..look out.

We knew BHO was lying when he said that WE MUST PASS THE STIMULUS BILL to prevent unemployment from going over EIGHT PERCENT. Now that he is sandbagging most of THAT MONEY (for the upcoming elections), he wants to steal more. One can only see that he is building a “cash reserve” to fund his socialism and empowerment while he destroys the American free market capitalist economy.
Even this evil plan is unsustainable — but it will leave a path of destruction in its wake. The jobless rate will exceed TEN PERCENT in the near future as he keeps destroying small and large businesses and snuffing any remaining confidence in the stock market and investment in general. He obviously does not care.
Take it only at face value. Judge him ONLY by his actions and results, and not his lies. The plan becomes very clear then as it has to many Americans who are not spending or borrowing. It already has been acknowledged by most foreign governments who want nothing to do with his socialist agenda.
And taxes are going up, I will increases spending, I will propose more bailouts for those to whom I sold my soul to, I will take away more of your right, I will continue to take my other half on 250,000.00 + diner dates, I will continue to embarrass America around the world for being such an as*, I wll continue to lie to you each time I open my mouth, I will continue to support the murder of little babies, I will continue to release terrorists from jail, I will continue to cut spending for the military - do I care what you think, not in the least as what ever I want is not open to discussion as I am always right I mean after all enough of you morons bought the entire line of BS and elected me so deal with it - Oh by the way ever time you turn around I’m going to screw you one way or another.
The more jobs that are lost, the more people will be dependent upon the govt. Right in line with Obama’s long term plans of the US becoming a western-European socialist type country.
As long as the politicians don’t lose theirs, then everything is OK.
Hopefully, one of those *lost jobs* will be his!
“Sure the economy blows...but at least we feel really good about our President.” This is, in essence, what every one of my Dem friends say.
Yep - and that’s really just lib code for “hey, he’s black - so we aren’t racists.”
But I thought Obama knew everything and had all the answers. How come he’s looking a lot like a know-it-all who knows nothing. Nothing at all!
Fundamentally Obama is wrong in assuming that the recovery has started and the unemployment is only lagging. I’m not seeing a recovery here in Chicago. Banks aren’t lending yet and my clients are all sitting on their hands and not spending. My bills keep on coming though.
we’re going to keep losing jobs and we’re going to keep raising taxes and we’re going to keep spending and we’re going to keep increasing regulation and the size of government because........we won
