Obama: ‘We still have a long way to go’ on jobs....No Thanks to you, Captain Obvious!
YahooNews ^ | 07/08/11 | Zachary Roth

In the wake of Friday's woeful jobs numbers, President Obama acknowledged that "we still have a long way to go and a lot of work to do" before the economy is working for Americans again. "The economy as a whole just isn't producing nearly enough jobs for everybody who's looking," Obama said in prepared comments in the White House Rose Garden. He cited "tough headwinds" that are exerting a drag on the economy, including natural disasters, high gas prices, economic turmoil in Europe, and state and local government budget cuts. The Labor Department reported this morning that the unemployment rate ticked up to 9.2 percent last month, with the economy adding just 18,000 jobs -- even fewer than May's paltry revised figure of 25,000.

In the same statement, I thought I heard him say "this recession".

Was listening on Fox News live at about 11AM EST. He statement was not on the White House Statements website - yet.

Did you catch it, and if so, is he signalling a Double Dip Recession that he owns?

Obama: ‘We still have a long way to go’ on jobs...”

You mean until you make it 50% unemployment?

Obama acknowledged that “we still have a long way


And when you are heading in the wrong direction, you’ll never get there.

Bring back the exported manufacturing seed corn and we can grow jobs again.

They are admitting to a dismal 18,000 jobs added this month- BEFORE NEXT MONTHS DOWNWARD REVISION!!!

Last month, and every month before that, they released highly inflated numbers

They had to "downgrade" the last two months by 44,000 to 25,000. That means they announced almost 300% of actual.

I can see being 10% or even 20% off. But 200% off? For the last 2 months?

If this months number is as inflated as all the others- then what is the real number?

Is it actually NEGATIVE?????

He sounds like an employee that is about to be fired for incompetence. All the excuses and attempts to deflect responsibility and explain away why it isn't his fault or why his plans haven't worked have worn very thin even with the most lenient of independents.

Just before these numbers came out I heard a deputy mouthpice from the white house assuring us that we would be seeing 150,000 to 200,000 new jobs. The a-holes just make it up as they go along, and don't even try to sound convincing anymore.

Baraq’s hair turned grey!
In 2 weeks, LOL.

Remember when the media was obsessed with Reagan’s hair color?
Wonder if they’ll be investigating Baraq’s barber with similar intensity?

Just watch the numbers for July. State and municipal employees have begun to be laid off in large numbers after new fiscal years began on 7/1. This report a month from now will have blood on it.

I can’t listen to the a-hole in charge speak at all. I turn it off every time.

POTUS Obama is destroying the USA economy and jobs by his own design!!! You know what has been one the greatest drawbacks on job creation (There are many negative economy actions, all caused by POTUS Obama & the Democrat Party)??? Gasoline prices, driven up by purely Obama input!!! And....they, gas prices are climbing quickly again!!! Methinks the time has arrived for millions of Americans to speak out to both Democrat & Republican politicians, demanding the resignation or impeachment of Barack Hussein Obama & Joe Biden, one, a hater and destroyer of America, the other, an outright, blooming, buffoon!!!

Obama just doesn't get it, does he? And neither do any of the democrats; to a one, they all think that bondage is freedom.

Democrat Party bondage
