    10.2 %

    Bleak? Very! Unemployment now at 10.2%. Does that mean the stimulus bill has failed? If so, we need to regroup --- and quickly. If we are headed down the wrong path we need to be smart and have change course.

NO DUH! More than half of our family (both sides of it) are now unemployed. About another 25% under employed. Obama will need to find his big tax 'fix' somewhere else. We are plumb dry!

One fifth of all Americans who had jobs, now do not? So why would the President and his supporters claim One Million New Jobs created when our jobless numbers just TOPPED 10.2 % UP from 8.9 % last month. ? Their numbers have now been shown to be BOGUS.? So,Why? I do believe,..They want to pass this Bummer Health Scare bill really badly, it will bring in $billions and $billions in new taxes,..they must raise taxes to repay all the debt incurred since Bummer took office. , fudging the numbers about jobs may just have been their way of trying to give some confidence to their more BLUE DOG members who are very nervous, and can still think for themselves, is my opinion

Do stories about Barney Frank dating belong on a family friendly site? But this is funny. I’ve noticed that Frank tends to act angry and offended whenever questions get close to being embarrassing to him. He should be nicknamed Less Than Honest Barney.

I believe Obama has a good heart and really cares about the people, but Washington corruption was bigger than he could ever imagine, so now he has to get on board with them or check out. he had to of seen all the corruption while he was in the senate and wanted to change it, but thing's aren't going like he thought it would.It's to big for him.

Well gee lookie here in the Bummer Health Scare Bill there is an 8 % mandated tax on each employee you hire! Isn't that SPECIAL ED? That would mean if you want to start a new small business an EXTRA 8 % per employee must be added to the cost of your business plan PER NEW EMPLOYEE. Evidently they DESIRE to put a real wet blanket on future Jobs and Business expansion...Why is that?,My o My, Lets all count the ways these Blood Suckers Plan to EXTRACT NEW TAXES FROM WE THE PEOPLE!! Now think about it, WILL,... this tiny NUGGET of LIBERAL THINKING CREATE NEW JOB GROWTH AND BUSINESS EXPANSION? Shouldn't this LIBERAL INCENTIVE CAUSE YOU TO RUN RIGHT OUT AND START A NEW BUSINESS OR ADD TEN NEW EMPLOYEES to your already existing business,...Think about it....? I'm Just askin fellow VOTERS?????? What say you?

Since Odrama is sending stim $ overseas and we want a border fence. LET's build it in the right place. When Islam is not killing non-muslims they're killing each other and that's been going on for centuries. Let's build a fence around the Middle East and keep throwing ammo over the wall til it goes quiet. Think of the job creation in ammo and fence manufactuing alone. This IS "Shovel Ready"

A blogger at Politico suggested to do a Honduras style on Obama. The people are so frustrated that I wouldn't doubt that it may get to this.

I work for the largest manufacturer of private aircraft in the world. Over 8,000 jobs lost so far - 48% of our workforce. I feel blessed to still be working, but don't know how long it will last, the way things are going. Ask us if we are more concerned about health care reform, or the economy, and we will tell you IT'S THE ECONOMY, AKA - JOBS! Of course, if we lose our jobs, then we won't have health insurance, either. I think the Libs are counting on that to make their plan look better.

What ever happened to?

What ever happened with those supposed Japanees men who tried to deposit 135billion dollars in US bonds in that swiss bank some months ago.Haven't heard anything since the initial story..Can someone elaborate on the outcome?

Obama, the Democrats in Congress and their Stimulus Bill have failed. The Democrats own this mess! We have to vote these Dems out in 2010 and 2012 before they completely destroy the country! This is the worst Democrat "leadership" that we have ever had and most Citizens can clearly see that fact now. Must be the "ECONOMY STUPID"!!!

Native Americans say if you want a preview of government-run healthcare, just look at their experience with it ~ despite treaty promises. Remote and outdated facilities, extended wait-time, late diagnosis of diseases....the list goes on and on.

It is true, our nation is grieving and the government is theiving. Obama's zealous nature oversteps his executive position, as we all know. Now he is going to the Hill to help Nancy PElosi arm-twist and bully the members of the House to pass that monster of a health bill. Did Tuesday's election results not register with these power-seeking leaders, who are leading us into the greatest economic disaster in history? GOD BLESS THE USA AND KEEP IT SAFE ON ALL FRONTS!

Greta--If you check out the House Ways and Means Dave Camp letter received from nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation, you will see that what Pelosi is proposing includes civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail for Americans who cannot or will not pay. The CBO says the lowest family plan under her proposal will cost $15,000 in 2016. No family can afford that. And by the way, IRS will enforce so it is a tax y`all!! Help!!!

I guess some would say this is the "change" we've been "hoping" for since so many didn't want to see or read the signs before this administration. The only sector with job growth is the government - which will not sustain the rest of us in any way, shape or manner.

Most knows by now what a terrible mistake it was to put Obama in office. We know he is a socialist/communist ass. What we don't know is how far he will get in putting his policies in place before he is kicked out and therefore what it all will cost us. That is why this economy is not getting better and I don't believe it will until we are rid of him and his like in congress. VOTE 2010 & 2012 and throw them out. Force them to hear us!

President Obama admitted to mis-reading the economic data. He also mis-read the mood of the American people.
