How many is 9.1?

http://news.yahoo.com/payrolls-awaited-markets-fear-recession-041036073.html

The unemployment rate “dropped” to 9.1 from 9.2 for July and already, the Democrats are rejoicing!

What they ignore is that there are STILL ….after 2 years of unfulfilled promises…9.1 % unemployed Americans!

Don’t they understand that 9,1% is still a huge number of our fellow citizens who can’t find a job? And, this doesn’t count the underemployed and those who just quit looking.

Democrats will crow long and hard about the dropping of .1%. They will ignore the 9.1% unemployed. After all, it sounds better to say we had a drop in the unemployment rate, however miniscule, than to say we still have 9.1% Americans without a job.

Talk about tone deaf?! It’s time to make them face the same music the unemployed are hearing. Let’s make President Obama and his minions join the unemployment line!

President Obama’s record………..

President Obama’s record is appalling. Here are a few facts he can’t dispute nor hide by producing his own video!

Unemployment rises to 471,000 :

Though Calderon’s request received applause and a standing ovation from mainly Democratic lawmakers, Republicans criticized the Mexican leader for discussing U.S. laws.

“It was inappropriate for President Calderon to lecture Americans on our own state and federal laws,” said Senator John Cornyn, a member of the Republican leadership. “Moreover, the Second Amendment is not a subject open for diplomatic negotiation, with Mexico or any other nation.”

Calderon repeated his opposition to a new Arizona law that requires police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the country illegally.

The stock market posted its steepest drop since the anxious days of early 2009, as worries that Europe’s debt crisis would weigh heavily on global growth sent investors fleeing out of risky assets.

IS IT ANY WONDER HE WON’T HOLD NEWS CONFERENCES WITH REPORTERS ASKING THE QUESTIONS?

Alternate Realities

Aka, Senator Reid’s view of unemployment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC211h9AY-4

Senator Reid says that “only” 36,000 Americans lost their jobs last month! Wow! Of course, there are now 14 million out of work and some no longer are even looking due to the lack of jobs. If you’re honest, and Senator Reid is not, add together the people getting unemployment WITH those who have quit looking and the figure is much closer to 17% unemployment than the 9.7% the administration is admitting to.

A friend suggested that maybe it’s time to strip Senator Reid of HIS job! I agree!
