President Obama may have a buddy-buddy relationship with big labor, but he’s no friend to ordinary workers. Here are four damning pieces of evidence. 1. The unemployment rate remains above 9 percent according to the Labor Department data released on Friday. This is about 2-1/2 percentage points higher than Obama promised if would be at this stage if we adopted the failed stimulus. This is a spectacular failure. 2. Black unemployment has jumped to 16.7 percent. I’ve already commented on how Obama has produced bad results for the African-American community, and the joblessness numbers are rather conclusive. What makes that figure especially remarkable is that the black unemployment rate during the Obama years is more than 50 percent higher than it was during the Bush years. 3. More than 40 percent of the unemployed have been out of work for more than six months. These bad numbers almost certainly are caused, at least in part, by the unemployment insurance program – as even senior Democrat economists have acknowledged. 4. Millions of people have dropped out of the labor force, dropping the employment-population ratio to the lowest level in decades. Here’s the chart I posted last month. It hasn’t changed, and it’s perhaps the clearest evidence that Obama’s policies are crippling America’s long-run economic outlook. All four of these charts are bad news. But the economy periodically hits a speed bump. The real problem is not bad numbers, but the fact that bad numbers have persisted for several years. And the really bad news is that there is little reason to expect a turnaround given the current Administration’s affinity for bigger and more burdensome government.

Capitalism's failure you mean. Capitalism does not work. Kill it before it kills you! DEATH TO CAPITALISM!!!!
With the economy still in the dumper -- maybe permanently? -- and full-time jobs becoming as scarce as rain during a drought, huge percentages of Americans have had their (misplaced) faith in the American dream shaken, the upper-middle-class consumerist lifestyle is exposed as a mirage for anybody who plays by the rules. Capitalism and the America that embraced it as a way of life is now and forever more a failure. It does me good to know that the generation that voted in Reagan and his ideology will see their America die from that ideology before their very own eyes and knowing they had a hand in its destruction.
amerika's failure on jobs. Since we ran out of cheap oil in 1972. And we've been 'paper for oil' ever since.
Its the Economy, Stupid. At no point in my lifetime has this been more applicable than it will be come November, 2012. The only real questions unanswered are 1) Who will be the Republican President come 2013....2) Will the Owe-bama campaign for reelection screw up so badly the GOP gains a Super Majority in the Senate. I rate the second one at 50 - 50 as things stand today.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
