Why wouldn't there be a "a worse-than-expected loss of jobs" when absolutely nothing has been done to stop the loss?

There's been NO reduction in work visas.
There's been little to no crackdown on workforce enforcement, ensuring that only those eligible to work in this country are doing so.
Nothing has been done to close the loopholes that allow US companies to use gov't subsidies to ship jobs overseas.
There's been little to nothing to balance the trade deficit. Heck, the US gov't won't even stand firm on demanding US products for US economic recovery projects paid for by US taxpayers!

Is Washington, DC really so stupid that they think the US is infallible. That they can literally give away our country and it will remain strong?

And please don't forget, the government's unemployment figures ONLY reflect those drawing benefits. Once those benefits run out,(after about 26 weeks) people are dropped off the reporting -- AS IF THEY FOUND A JOB. This is why there are periodic upticks in the jobs outlook.

All he does is take the horrid headlines re: the tragic unemployment rate and spins them to suit his agendas.

He spends OUR money with no regard to our future and the future of our children and grandchildren. He lives like an elite. Vacations in the Hampton's, trips to Paris with his family. Date nite alone cost us...

He is out of control, spinning on his agenda and massive ego. He acts like a weathy jet set man using our tax money for his pleasure and that of his family. He is using "green agendas" to bankrupt farmers and make OUR electric bills sky rocket. To see the real agenda behind his 'green agenda' all you have to do is listen to Van Jones own words... Wake up folks. The man is a marxist poser.

He is not going to a Chrisitan church... he even said he was a Muslim and did not catch it.. What Christian says "my Muslim faith" as a slip?

Unemployment Rises to Highest Level Since 1983; 263,000 Jobs Cut in September
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Business/job-l...

The nation's unemployment rate in September rose to 9.8 percent, its highest level since June 1983, as 263,000 jobs were cut from payrolls, the Labor Department announced Friday

The 263,000 jobs lost during the month were far more than most economists had expected. The consensus forecast was that around 175,000 jobs had been shed in September.

The other point of view is off course that your head and brainless war in Iraq, in one week costs more money then the combined travel expenses for all your many presidents up through time.

Besides This here president is actually welcomed in Europe as opposed to Bonzai (Little Bush)

Its a sort of a paradox. This president here is black on the outside and white on the inside while George chicken-thief was white on the outside and both thick and black on the inside!

Go Obama,,,, show the trailer trash the difference between Joe six pack and the Elite!

Hey we hear you loud and clear. Now it's time to stop living in the past. We can't go back a fix history. It's time to think about the present and the future and we can't spend our way out of this mess. This administration as got to reign in the wasteful spending, we simply can not afford it. Do you know Senator Kerry is trying to slip in 20 million dollars into a defense bill for a Kennedy archive project? What does this have to do with defense? Nothing!! It's just wasteful pork. It's got to stop! This trip to Denmark cost us millions. For what? So Obama could have a high for getting the olympics which would have costs the taxpayers billions that we don't have. Do say it would have made money because no olympics actually makes money. Its a fact they countries lose billions. London's already more than 4 billion in the red and they won't host until 2012.We simply can't afford these nice to haves right now. They need to start thinking and acting responsible. Plan and simple.

How do you define socialism exactly? And why do you think it's bad? And please don't respond by pointing to the Bolsheviks. We all agree that they were corrupt and mad with power. I am a social democrat. I believe in most of the freedoms that we currently enjoy (save those that only benefit the wealthy) but I also believe in social justice. Are you rich? If you are then so be it. If you aren't then you should remove your head from your ass and become a socialist. The capitalists have bent us all over and are screwing us every day my friend.

When the government controls pratically everything like.... Financial institutions, banks, car manufactures, healthcare, energy, media, etc....

No, I am far from being rich, in fact I struggle a bit however "social justice" is bull crap. I may not have much but I earned every bit of it myself with no help from anyone and I'm PROUD of what I have.

Your so called "social justice" takes the incentive away from wanting to better yourself, the incentive to encourage your children to strive to
become more successful than you. Why bother trying or working at all for that matter if the government is going to take care of all our needs and wants. Why would someone want to start a business and "employ" people if they don't get anything out of it.

This "social justice" will end up destroying us. Their will no longer be the hard working middle class American. The will only be the elitists ( aka the government) and the lower class (the working man).

By now even Hillary Clinton would have gotten something right,even if it was by default.
Obama defies the odds in many ways.
Does he have to lie about absolutely everything,every time?

Obama is an idiot. He is inexperienced and surrounds himself with ideological terrorists. The man is dangerous and needs to be voted out of office at the first opportunity. Never, never, never, never vote DEMONCRAT! And there is the myth that Clinton was a great President. Hell, he just signed the bills Gingrich wrote. Clinton was a depraved sex-addict. Never, never, never vote DEMONCRAT! And let's talk about Jimmy Carter! Hell, we don't need to. He is the worst President and biggest monster in American history. Never, never, never vote DEMONCRAT!!!

Hey! I have an idea which might stimulate jobs. How about cutting taxes and eliminating government waste. And how about Washington quits trying to nanny us to death. And what say we get rid of 25 million illegal aliens. And we can drill our own oil. We can build lots of nuclear power plants. And the best idea of all. WE CAN NEVER, NEVER, NEVER VOTE DEMONCRAT AGAIN!

Daily Horoscope for December 7

Aquarius

You're full of energy and determination right now, especially when it comes to nailing an ambition or making a name for yourself. You'll want to give it your best shot, and you'll get very annoyed if you feel your efforts are being frustrated by others. Watch out for a rather tense atmosphere with someone older or more influential than you, as this could lead to a row.
