Faced with reality, he froze and have no idea what to do. So he did the next best thing, pretending he’s doing something. Hence where we are today.

- White House knows illegal immigration fuels unemployment By William R. Hawkins AmericanThinker.com May 8, 2010 In the expectation that the unemployment rate won't change much from the 9.7 percent March figure when new April numbers are released Friday, David Wessel wrote a pessimistic column that appeared in The Wall Street Journal on May 5. In it he argued, It's hard to exaggerate how bad the job market is. Here's one arresting fact: One of every five men 25 to 54 isn't working. Even more alarming, the jobs that many of these men, or those like them, once had in construction, factories and offices aren't coming back. ‘A good guess...is that when the economy recovers five years...

Three thoughts:

1) the graph clearly demostrates how deep the recession is compared to other recessions that Obama was handed on day one.

and

2) the jobs performance or unemployment has clearly been turning around or at least stabilizing over the last year, as Obama’s policies have worked through the system.

and

3) the question is how quickly will the line shoot back up again. based on it current trajectory, it looks like it could shoot up fairly rapidly over the next 6 to 12 months. Actually, concensus economic forecasts say the unemployment rate could be as low as 5-6% by 2012, just in time for Obama re-election.

Since Obots get off on their global warming “hockey stick” graft to support their nonsense, why aren’t they reacting to this unemployment hockey stick graft because it is hot and sticking it to them far more than they ever have to worry about global warming.

President Obama took office during the worst economy since the Great Depression. So, what are your thoughts?

I posted a question below – works for this thread too:

If all of the markets crash & burn at the same time – what happens then? Does the world come to an end? Is there someone who hits a reset button & the shit starts all over again? Do we start the trade & barter thing again – like in the really really really old days?

BTW – first old incumbent lost his seat – Bennet Repub from Utah – oh oh – be afraid you washington weasels – the sleeping dragon is now awakened………………………

BTW – is anyone surprised that the stock market crap on Thursday traces back to Chicago?????????????????

oowawa: you were right with both videos. Reality is never on thing. In the first video clip you have shown us the reaction of the Cecil B De Mille cast of thousands. the merged media Hollywood culture of celebrity who see nothing ahead for themselves, because they were nearer to God than thee and to hell with the great unwashed masses. The directly below you see another video depicting how the other half (85% to be exact) lives or will live in the future thanks to the Wall Street policies imposed on the country by the geatest Wall Street shill and bamboozler, caption to read A Picture From The Wrong Side of Life, set to music with the permission of the estate of Hank Williams Sr.

And I expect many of those now looking aren’t just those who are feeling more optimistic so are again searching for jobs after taking time off. I bet many are young people graduating college this month and next.

oowawa– nobody can flush “sham-a-lama-ding-dong” and a knuckleball story out of your system like Tom Waits. Now, I’m a lawyer again. Thanks.
