BREAKING -- The unemployment rate in June rose to 9.2 percent, the government reported Friday morning, as the economy added just 18,000.

President Obama will speak about the new data in the Rose Garden at 10:35 a.m., the White House says.

“The unemployment rate in June rose to 9.2 percent, the government reported Friday morning”

Uhh—translates to “we are telling you that unemployment is only 9.2% even though we know it’s double digit.”

[Cyclone59]

I’m expecting 9.2 excuses per minute.

Good one!

I was thinking that his answers would only be in 140 character responses.

[cripplecreek]

I keep expecting him to end a speech with.

“You want happy ending?”

[Mouton]

And you would be 100% correct on that point.

The asshat is going on the attack: one of opening lines will be “it would be irresponsible to cut the government budget at this time in the midst of this hiccup in our recovery as it will remove the inertia that was building. Furthermore, those hurt most by this GOP outrage are those who can least afford to have the financial rug pulled out from under their feet. I call upon the GOP to give up protecting the jet owning fat cats and raise revenues so we can all share the pain in this economic recovery that was caused by events so severe to be beyond our comprehension when we took office”. If you want to play (.)bama bingo just head up each column with these headings:

Shared sacrafice....Irresponsible.....GOP fat cats.....set back in recovery.....and best of all “I”.

He’s an empty suit that is just reading from a teleprompter what he’s being told to say. Without having one inkling about what he’s doing.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

What if he announces a UN global currency?

[CodeToad]

Is it raining at the golf course?

I can save all of you the time. Here is what ZERO will say:
My fellow Americans (& My fellow Kwnyans & my fellow muslims and all my brothers & sisters all over the world)
George Bush left me with one big mess. I am working as hard as I can to clean up his BIG MESS. I even gave up golf one day, I can't remember exactly what day that was might have been raining that day.
We need more money to solve this problem. I am going to take more from those of you with jobs. Those without jobs, be patient remember Rome was not built in one day. It took at least a week.
The shovel ready jobs were not shovel ready. I know you saw me laughing about that. It was kinda Funny because "W" left me a note and said to get some shovel ready jobs for yall.
Remember now when the election rolls around remember it is not my fault. . . . . . You wanted change and you got it. Now just cool your heels and wait. I will do better the next 4. I was only a community organizer and this job is tough. I need another 4 years Thank you, BO

Sorry, my liver will be shot by the time zero gets his sorry butt fired in Nov 2012.

“He’s going to tell us the Republican refusal to raise the debt limit and taxes is taking it’s toll on the economy.”

Exactly! Another plug for failed Keynesian economics -if a kleptocracy can be called that. It’s the only economic model which guarantees funding for his gangster sponsors and dependents in a recession.

Thank God that Casey isn’t being released today..the networks would go bananas..

[ScottinVA]

Admit it, Obama... you failed.

We’ll heartily accept your resignation and that of your entire regime now.

[dirtymac]

Read the book 1984. He will report that due to his hurclean efforts and socialist programs of massive overnment spending the unemployment rate has plunged to now only 9.2%; the most significant drop since (fill in a date). This marks the end of the Republican era recession and a new begining of the era of big government. this is the time we have been waiting for and now the oceans can begin to recede. (sarc is now off)

[Musketeer]

After the last Shuttle launches at 11:30, unemployment will surge with massive NASA and NASA contractor lay-offs. I can see the rate go over 10%.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Winner winner chicken dinner especially since he is meeting with Pelosi before the campaign speech. I will bet he shows the video of pubs throwin granny in a wheelchair off a cliff.

[screaminsunshine]

Hey. I am picking up what the GOP is going to call the cave in. “The Grand Bargain”.

[frogjerk]

He’s going to tell us the Republican refusal to raise the debt limit and taxes is taking it’s toll on the economy.

That will be part of it. The other part will be that we need to raise taxes and spend more.

"...just words? Just speeches?"

[Lazamataz]

Shouldn’t he be blaming Bush?

[Puppage]

Hhe told me just last week that the economy is growing at a good clip/sarc
