No matter which way you look at it the numbers are easily manipulated. And the DOL does it all the time.

You are wrong the numbers are increasing. Just wait until the full effect of the Chrysler and GM bankruptcies hit the “unemployment lines”.

Some of this comes directly from language out of the White House and some from the very language in the TARP/Bailout bill.

This one example of a town in the middle of the country and we tend to lag behind the other states when a recession hits.

That means that we aren’t on our way to recovery.

As for those 600,000 summer jobs they are going to create…Where are they going to create them (in the private sector, I doubt it.) and how?
I don’t see a plan. In 2 months school starts back up….Who is going to apply for these fictitious jobs anyways?

Is this, Larry, why Obummer hired LarrySummers to do the math? Summers agrees that only chicks are stupid in math! And look where this sentiment has gotten him, eh?!!

I know you are, but what am I ? A half wit.

There, fixed that for ya. Enjoy your day.

Fresh from the success of the Viva Palestina: Lifeline from Britain to Gaza aid convoy – which took over 100 vehicles to Gaza from the UK, Member of Parliament, George Galloway has linked up on his US tour with the Vietnam veteran and peace campaigner, Ron Kovic, to launch a similar, but even larger venture from the States.

Galloway announced the initiative at a 1000-strong meeting in Anaheim, South California, rounding off a packed-out, coast to coast speaking tour highlighting the Palestinian cause.

“There’s a new atmosphere in the US over Palestine,” says Galloway, “the phenomenal response to this tour demonstrates that.”

Let’s get this straight. Unemployment rose to 9.4%, it previously was 8.5% (under reporting) and this slick car salesman who went to NY and Paris on TAXPAYER’S MONEY has the nerve to say what he said.

any sexist inference is not important, the message of ECONOMIC FAILURE IS.

Ron Kovic, whose story was immortalized in Oliver Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July, will be the co-leader of the convoy, which will travel from New York City to Egypt before making its way across the Rafah border into Gaza.

Viva Palestina: The USA Convoy to Gaza is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, but individuals and groups from across the nation are organizing locally to generate support for the convoy, which aims to raise 500 vehicles and $10 million of humanitarian aid.

“And what better day to head off,” says Galloway, “Than July 4 – Independence Day!”
