??????? Uhhhhh? If you take the 9%+ unemployment in Florida, count the part time jobs and the people who’s benefits ran out, we have about 20%+ unemployed! That’s greater than the U.S.depression of the 30’s.

If I didn’t know better I would think there is some election year Obama spin going on here. I’ve been reading the comments on twitter about this. You can imagine what people think of this “news”.

OUR BRAVE NEW WORLD

Black is good

White is bad

You must spend to save

Judgement is discrimination

Illegal is legal

The meaning of the Constitution evolves

The war in Iraq is over

The recession has ended

Obama is not a socialist
