Washington correspondent...didn't even acknowledge local guy said ANYTHING...

We have had 37 months of job growth. That is a good thing. The problem is we need 350,000 jobs created per month not 150,000.

350k is too high and impossible to achieve...I would settle for 200k though 220k would be better...we have been averaging just over 150 the last two years....

I wish we would also track employed:population. I think we are right at ~130 million employed. I'd say that employed and tax revs - total pop and expenditures is more important than if those "seeking" employment can find it.

PROMISES, and words mean something! (Obmama's own words)
Obama promised that unemployment wouldn't go above 8% if his Skimulus package passed Congress.
And, he promised that unemployment would be 5.8% by now in his Presidency!
And, he promised that he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term! It has doubled!

But, his whole Presidency was consumed by apologies to the Muslim world, and getting his governmnet take-over of American healthcare passed!
(...and fundraising in Hollywood!)
:upset:

Shouldn't there be some resounding headlines about the rise in unemployment?
