Unemployment Rate Hits 10.2%
Posted by: Jillian Bandes at 10:24 AM
It's higher than the 9.9% economists had expected, representing 190,000 jobs lost in October. But that doesn't even count the number of people who are reluctantly working fewer hours because they can't find steady work. Considering those people -- the "real" unemployment rate is estimated at 15.6%.

I'd take a sec to point out that it's not just 190,000 people who have lost jobs. It's those people, plus their families -- their wives, their children, anyone else who might be relying on them for support. It affects the local restaurant owner that won't get that person's business every month, or the once-a-week cleaning lady who's wages are cut back because that person can't afford her anymore.

Obama continues to maintain that over 640,000 have been "saved or created" by federal stimulus dollars. But 7.3 million jobs have been lost since the beginning of last year.

TEAM OBAMA: "Nearly 2 million jobs lost"
Posted by: Kevin McCullough at 9:55 AM
Tense ... formal handshake replaces Sar-cosy hug
"Proud of my country..."

So you've seen the news right?

Team Obama making capitulation after capitulation in the G20 yesterday because he has this warped notion that America is no better than any other nation on earth.

Arrrgh... where to even begin with that one...

He refuses to acknowledge that we have been the world's greatest force for the liberation of people, the advancement of freedom, the growth of wealth for average "Joe" around the world, and still do more to relieve suffering than the rest of the world COMBINED.

So while he was busy giving away the store at the G20 yesterday, some new news popped up about his strategy to rain down "hope and change" on all of us.

In March the American workforce lost 633,000 MORE non-farming jobs. The full unemployment number is 641,000 and the new national unemployment rate is 8.5%. Nearly double what it was for the majority of the previous administration.

But since March is just a single month let's get a feel for the full picture since Obama's clock started ticking. In February the unemployed persons number exceeded 851,000 additional jobs but the unemployment rate at that time was only 7.1% across the nation. February would be the only other month fully on his watch.

So thus far - Cool Brutha in Chief, while busily giving the Queen of England an iPod packed with his OWN speeches, has overseen an economy that has shed 1,920,000 jobs, when his campaign promise was to add millions of jobs.

Congrats President Everywhere you've dug yourself nearly two million more into the hole than when you started.

Had you simply taken the amount of money you spent in your stimulus package divided it up by the population (not even worry about adult, child, taxpayer, legal citizen - just the pure population) you would've given the average family of four over $17,000 that they could've at least helped get by on.

And that much stimulus into the real economy (as opposed to your condom and water park programs) would've ALREADY reduced the rate of unemployment.

But since it was your buddies in Congress that got us into this whole mess with the mortgage securities being forced fed into the private sector by Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, the Congressional black caucus, and their patsies at Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac... what SHOULD we have expected?

Jedi Mind Trick: OBAMA, "I wanna make sure you go jobless..."
Posted by: Kevin McCullough at 9:40 PM

Bankruptcy and Unemployment

Many of those who heard this story over the weekend probably have a hard time believing it and yet it is as vital in its importance as any of the rest of the promises that Barack Obama has pledged in his term.

He wants to put such burdens upon the coal industry in America that it is forced to declare bankruptcy.

Of course he would be against "clean coal technology" right? After all it is key to ANY plan that seeks to unlock our dependence from middle eastern energy supplies. He's also against nuclear energy.

He says in the stupid audio from the source that he supports more bio-diesel options. Which further shows how out of touch he might be.

Bio-diesel, and fuels drawn from living sources like corn and grass - are largely blamed for the famine that hit Africa and other parts of the world this year. So many set asides for fuel needs were labeled off limits that children in Africa actually DID die from starvation this year. Several international studies noted this.

So let me understand this properly.

Obama does not want us to drill our own oil - that would free us from middle eastern oil...
Obama does not want us using nuclear energy which would eliminate many problems in the energy crisis and provide more energy to more people at the lowest cost possible...
Obama does not want us using clean coal technology which is environmentally harmless. And in fact he wants to bankrupt the coal industry (and I suppose lay off all of the men who earn their living in the coal mines... and thus punish all the families in state's like West Virginia, Kentucky... not to mention all the jobs that are waiting for people in Colorado, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, etc...)

And he DOES...

Obama does want to use Bio-diesel which has been proven very inefficient and even dangerous to some of the least well off children on the planet...

Now Jedi-Obama begins waving his hand in front of the television cameras again telling us we did not hear him say - what he heard him say

NYTimes: Clinton/Biden telling fibs...
Posted by: Kevin McCullough at 10:47 AM
Bill Clinton addresses the Democratic National Convention at the Pepsi Center in Denver
 
Lips moving, lies coming!

According to brand new census data, some actual truthful reporting from the New York Times, we know for certain that former President Clinton was not being truthful in his speech last night - particularly on the economic factors. The former president spoke of a worsening economy, and he made the argument that people were earning less.

But it was just flatulence of the mouth as the Census Bureau released its newest findings yesterday.

For the third year in a row the median income for families has INCREASED! Another 1.3%...

The same data also found that Joe Biden was not being honest in his speech last night when he touched on health care. The number of people without coverage DROPPED in the latest numbers by more than a million. And the uninsured percentage rate dropped from 15.9%-15.3%. MEANING: 84.7% of Americans are satisfactorily insured.

I'm part of the 15.3% presently, but I do NOT, repeat, I DO NOT WANT the government to give it to me. It's my job to get it, and we will - but I don't want to tax YOU to be able to get it.
