Looks like Obama is having a bad day. Just thought I would try to cheer him and his supporters up.

Send a Hallmark card. This is a discussion forum.

While claims are down, the rate was 8.1% in April. http://data.bls.gov/pdq/SurveyOutputServlet?request_action=wh&graph_name=LN_cpsbref3

Apparently more than 69k (# of new jobs created) people started looking for work in May. Or it could be the 21k government jobs that were eliminated.

Businesses dramatically scaled back hiring in May, pushing the nation’s unemployment rate up to 8.2 percent and stoking fears that the economic recovery has stalled once again.

 

 

Besides, I was blaming it on Bush. Isn't that the constant narrative from "the one"? You, iNow, of all people must agree.

 

By the way it's called a sense of humor. Lighten up.

 

While visiting the WP you might check out Krauthammer latest. It's a beaut.
