Unemployment Rate 'disappointments' White House

[WarDogLRS]

Emergencies have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded Hayek

You let one ant stand up to us, then they all might stand up! Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life!

A government that is big enough to give you all you want is big enough to take it all away

But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever

[barsgold]

how can the governent protect us from the problems that THEY created?? the nuts in the White House need to get a friggen brain to replace all of the hot air...

[badmudda]

disappointment? its a fucking tragedy you bitch! how can we have a jobless recovery?

[dlucas90]

Here's a idea for the government to increase jobs. Quit allowing US companies to sell products made by slave labor. We don't allow slavery in this country, so why should it be legal to sell products in the US when those products are made by slaves. It is like saying that we don't believe in slavery and then turning around and buying slave picked cotton from another country. Destroy NAFTA.!!!!!

[VictoryCough]

It disappointmented them huh?

[jabberwolf]

The white house just 3 days ago was claiming that is HADNT gone over 10% ... that they kept it from doing so.

NOW.. they expected it?!

OMFG LIARS!!

How about they stop spending money, give back tax breaks and let THE PEOPLE create jobs because the Obamastration is doing a shit job!!

[justaoldslave]

Christina Romer, Just another Global Capitalist. She puts China before any U.S. citizen. Any body that looks to the White House for help is brain dead.

[justaoldslave]

Thanks Romer, For destroying the job market. The U.S. governments policies have made it mandatory to ship every job out of this country until the minimum wage has been adjusted to the lowest wage in the plantant. The only way to fix the job market is to completely remake the U.S. government. At this point, the only function the U.S. government has is to serve the Global Capitalists. That means enslave every worker on earth. Jim Morris

[justaoldslave]

The President will be right where main street is when the Global Capitalists pay him $1000. dollars per year to work like a slave. The U.S. government has turned into the great destroyer of human rights. Freedom and Democracy for the rich. Slavery, debt and despair for everybody else.  Jim Morris

[JoeAverage86]

america? how do you like this US President now?

We've been hoodwinked.

This President is TERRIBLE.

[cjmccoy11]

Lady- I think people understand you clowns are doing all the wrong things- Next election cycle will sweep turds like you out the door.

Give me a break - how stupid do you think Americans are?

[quizerry]

80% of all job are created by small business. This administration is doing nothing for small business and are proposing huge spending bills that would cause more job looses. Their policies are scaring business into remaining idol. They won't expand or hire if with every piece of new legislation adds expenses and higher taxes to their business.

[jabberwolf]

But their health bill is to HELP small businesses and they will make small businesses pay even MORE money.. to HELP them.

Can you see what the Obamstration is trying to do?? Because I F*cking cant ?!?!!?!?

[HemiHead66]

Cap & Trade - I agree with ya. There's better ways of stopping pollution / global warming than taxing the shit out of us. They can start by getting rid of some of those laws the oil company lobbyists are always lobbying for. Or put an end to the killing of technology. Nothing pisses me off more than to find out the Government has been using killer battery technology in the Military since the early 90's.

[jabberwolf]

I swear if they mess with GM's chances and their VOLT .. im gonna be the biggest pain in the ass on the internet that the government has ever seen!

phosphate lithium battery tech is the wave of the future for soooooo many applications. Its durable, it lasts (many charges), its feesable, the car doesnt require any change in infrastructure!

The only thing that can mess that revolution is the Obamastration.. and they now own GM.

[HemiHead66]

There's another battery I've seen on You Tube too - I think it's called Lithium Titinate. There's a guy doing a demonstration on a high compression race bike and it fries the battery cables right off it. He said it's been used in the Military for years - and it also has the durability and fast charging that you're talking about. I don't know which is better - but they clearly have the technology to move us forward. Look it up YT - Lithium Titinate - see what ya think.

[jabberwolf]

on and while Toyota and Hinda are scrambling to catch up to GM and their gas engine extender -

Obama thinks he knows better and claimed LAST YEAR. that he didnt think that the volt was viable.. yet wanted to throw away money to telsa.

This is what happens when you have RETARDS with great degrees but no experience... you have ARROGANCE.

Now why YOU buy into it, I have no idea!!??

[HemiHead66]

I'm tired of hearing how the Republicans could cure this mess with tax cuts. What the hell do companies need tax cuts for - look at their earnings - they're all turning killer profits. They've aligned their companies for what little demand is left. We need more jobs but they're all outsourced. Bush alone over 2.5 million. And what good is giving people tax cuts if they don't have a job to get a tax cut? We're being cut-off at the knees. Obama won't be able to fix this. Not with these trade laws.

[JoeAverage86]

You're an absolute tool.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

HemiHead66 you dink. the higher taxs is what is driving more comapies over seas. They can open a plant over seas and ship their goods back to the US cheaper with the lower taxs in other countries.

[jabberwolf]

What the Cap and Trade and new energy bill that will raise energy prices...

I know 3 firms in SF that SPECIFICALLY cut jobs because Obama allowed taxes to sunset instead of keeping them in place. cutting Taxes is a domino effect.. in both directions... its more cost efficient in creating jobs and growing the economy.

I really think you need to take an econ class Hemi. Yes they are greedy when making money, but when losing $, they make sure everyone else underneath takes the hit.

[HemiHead66]

The last thing I need is a class on economics. First off - you can't keep cutting taxes with a war party that spends out the ass - in the end you get what Bush gave us - about 2 trillion in debt. And you don't give tax cuts to help companies move overseas like Bush did. Maybe you like paying to lose your job - but I don't. I'm glad Obama cut that shit. And before Bush's tax cuts, he was urged by his own Economic Advisement Council, 450 economists, including 10 Nobel Prize Laureates not to do it.

[jabberwolf]

Sighs... the war was NOTHING in comparison to the losses that Fannie and Freddie caused because they were allowed and lobbied to have such low liquidity levels. And they continue to lose money and ask for more.

And those that lobbied for that WERE THE DEMOCRATS.. OBAMA.. ACORN.. not the repugnants.

Well thats what you get when you have theory and no practice. Nobel prizes - thats become a joke.

And without cutting, we'd have fewer jobs, less tax revenue, and higher debt.

[humanisall]

Bush really fucked shit up. Read your history Republicans. the opposite of capitalism is not communism, its democracy. the economy is changing as quick as trends. capitalism says to change or fail. OUr basic organisms express this trait. to bad evolution is out the window, you might adapt like the rest of humanity.

[JoeAverage86]

How did Bush screw things up again?

[lenny380]

Sorry it disappoints the Whtehouse. Maybe they should be doing something about it instead of screwing around with healthcare and causing more unrest and job losses.

[VictoryCough]

Is is normal for the them to start re-inflating the bubble this early?

[IntrepidGizmo]

Dissapoints? Wake up people this is exactly what Obama and the other socialists in his entourage want.  You cannot fundamentally transform America without first destroying it. You got just what you voted for. Even Pravda assesses it this way. Idiots.

[dmaul7]

Dissapointed by something they caused, the only jobs created are government ones,which in turn raises taxes, hope and change my ass.

[AlexanderPimm]

@jabber

Right capitalism is so great and works better than everything else, oh and wait the DOW is the greatest indicator of stability in our vastly failing system...oh wait there hasn't ever been something else in the form of government so basically you are generalizing that capitalism works better than everything when you actually don't have anything else to compare it to. which would mean the mirror is aimed at you buddy not me.....

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Are you a communist Alex?

[AlexanderPimm]

@NotEasilyRegimented

nope I am all about Imperialistic Socialist Fundamentalism :)

[NotEasilyRegimented]

hmmm not familiar with that

Not all socialists are communist.

All communists are socialists however.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

Can't have communism without socialism.

Socialism just means they gave up without firing a shot.

Communism means million had to die first.

Now we get to America, we still have our guns. To bring socialism in you have to do it with communism.

Unlike the euro's we will fight back.

[NotEasilyRegimented]

I came (to google )I didn't see. I failed.

Then I looked up bullshit. There it was..

[AlexanderPimm]

@NotEasilyRegimented

bingo you win the prize for being smarter than google....

[AlexanderPimm]

we live in an Imperialistic capitalistic fundamentalist state founded on Christianity. Imperial because the people's vote doesn't mean shit (the electoral college proved this when gore lost the election despite having 300k more public votes than bush).

Fundamentalist because the Christians who although told not have political ties still pull people's strings like the who was excommunicated because he publicly supported abortion.

think about it you are not living in a free democratic society.

[JoeAverage86]

Seriously....you're an idiot.

[gbhobson]

It's appalling how these people can look a figure like 10.2% in the eye, shrug, and say it's "disappointing."

No, let me tell you something...it's *unacceptable* is what it is.

That's okay though; that's 10.2% of the population that won't be voting for a douchebag liberal ever again.

[wild112233]

YellowYoshiEgg, US was the largest economy when we entered the recession, and we entered it first and we suffered the most - it was known that we would take the most time to get out of the recession as well.

Apart from smaller economies, even protected ones (India, China, Singapore etc) are out of the recession. Interesting!

Hemihead666 & Jabberwolf - I was writing about Obama not solving the recession as soon as he came into power. You have me confused with someone writing about healthcare.

[sikovit]

Oh but Economy is Great.....

LIARS,

[HemiHead66]

What I want to know is - when are the Republicans going to do their share? Sitting in Washington looking for ways to take back power on the taxpayers dime is not what I call working for the people.

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Tell me, tell us all here on Youtube, all 3 or 4 of us, what you call "working for the people"

Is it the same thing I think of when I think of people working for themselves?

[jabberwolf]

Hemi good question as they dont have the house nor Congress nor Whitehouse.

They ARE trying to prevent Democrats from prolonging Pharma's protection against cheaper generic drugs from rising from 4 years to 12. Thats 10s if not 100s of billions that Pharma would make.... and you wonder why the democrats are trying so hard to get this bill through unread and unopposed.

(dont believe me, go pick up this month's newsweek - good article about it)

[WarDogLRS]

In rhetoric, America is the land of the free and the generous, enjoying the fused blessings of a free market tempered by and joined to accelerating social welfare, bountifully distributing its unstinting largesse to the less fortunate in the world. In actual practice, the free economy is virtually gone, replaced by an imperial corporate-state Leviathan that organizes, commands, exploits the rest of society and, indeed, the rest of the world, for its own power and pelf. -Murray

[HemiHead66]

Yeah - America is now - The land of greed - home of the slave.

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Are you black hemi? I didn't realize that.

[prgupta2010]

I have been unemployed since sept 2008. I am not able to find anything. Please help. I can do any IT job such as help desk, Peoplesoft dba, oracle dba, IT security, PC support etc. I am based in illinois but I can go anywhere. Please let me know if you can help

[WarDogLRS]

There was never any plan for a recovery your under the Nazi now America was always the Nazi all the wars a lie your money is counterfeit not hard assets or constitutionally sound. Your Legal system is corrupt your Judiciary system has been replaced by the Nazi. America has been the Welfare/Warfare Nazi whip on the world creating wars for profit & fun at the humane expedience you vs them your whole life was to entertain them and like clowns we jump into wars God forgive us

[NotEasilyRegimented]

How cAN THEY FEEL DISAPPOINTED. THEY WON'T AKE ANY OF THE BLAME FOR FAILURE. THEY SHOULD ONLY BE DISAPPOINTED IF THEY HAD TRIED, AND FAILED, TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE ECONOMY. they can't have it both ways can they? If things imporive they will take the credit. If things don't improve they will blame bush. It is a win win situation.

Only problem is, as you can see here on Youtube. Not everyone buys it.

[wild112233]

Jesus, Obama got into the WH 11 months ago, and the economy hasn't jumped up yet? The worst economic crisis since 1929 (which lasted for 19 years), and Obama still hasn't done anything?

Maybe it is because he hasn't invoked Jesus & the bible in his speeches. Now only if he did that, the way Bush did, the economy would be fine in a month.

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Jesus loves you.

Obama will never take any blame for mishandling the economy. He has a built in excuse for failure. All he need do is play the Bush card.

[wild112233]

Zeus, Mithra and Krishna love you. Thor hates your balls.

Of course it is Obama's fault. The worst economic depression since 1929, and he can't resolve it in 1 year. What is his excuse, that he is human? Wasn't he the muslim, Kenyan, anti-christ? Why does he pretend to be human?

[NotEasilyRegimented]

Jesus DOES love you, you know;

[wild112233]

I knew he was gay. Soft & tender, and never married a woman or had kids. Though he loved kids. All gays do.

How did you know he was gay?

[NotEasilyRegimented]

How did I know you were gay? It was easy dude.

[wild112233]

You gay. Me gay. Jesus gay. God did make us in his image.

JC never married, was always soft and tender, and said that he was the Son of Man. And always had far more men around him, than women.

He was gay. So are you and I - a happy gay family.

[jabberwolf]

Love the sarcasm, but the economy would do better without Obama doing a dam thing.

He cant do anything in 1 year but strangle the economy and keep it from growing which he's doing a great job at!

[wild112233]

Yeah, Obama is a moron. No other country in the world went into a recession; those that did, were out of it in a month. Only the US did really crash into a recession, and has stayed there.

Dude, almost every developed country is in a mess right now. You plan to blame Obama for all of them now? Maybe he did what could be done. UK, France, Canada, Australia, Germany, Spain...everyone is messed up today - there are no easy solutions.

What's your better plan to get US out of the recession?

[HemiHead66]

Either you asked me that question twice - or you're the second person to ask me that exact same thing. Where are you getting this from? I heard Obama say that he wanted us to be able to get our drugs from whoever could give us the best price. Now I don't know if he cut some other kind of deal with them that gives a good price - or whatever. Maybe you can show me where you got that info from. And it's the Republicans that want to keep us in Wall Street healthcare.

[jabberwolf]

Again, you already know the answer ( its the republicans!!) even though the facts say different!!

I mean you can't even read my complete comment that recommended you go out to READ the source Newsweek - which shows who, and what committees have added the amendments.

Seriously are you in love with obama, or you just use him for sex?!?

[HemiHead66]

Go pick up Newsweek. I'm talking about on-line. You mean to tell me something like that is only talked about in Newsweek? I would've thought it would be all over the place, and used to tear Obama to shreds.

[davidpark68]

Sure he has...........he gave a bunch of money to the bankers, "Rescued" GM, Divided the country not only by class but also race, took us from all men being created equal to all men being created equal except for Heterosexual White atheist or non religious males, which are excluded from the hate crimes bill, Bought a load of used cars...& destroyed them, made it more expensive to heat our homes, taught our kids some really kool songs, introduced us to Marxism.......

[wild112233]

Wow, what a rant.

[jwv651]

President Obama said unemployment would not go above 8%...it's now at 10.2% and growing. Scary times ahead!

[gemini067]

Obama promised change, but it seems the people who voted for him don't like the "change", what did they expect, free cars,gas, homes and all the pot they could smoke.

[Juntahh]

there no job, and people have money so their families dont have to work at the same time.

[trawldoors]

Huh????

[BertGriffin88]

Julie, let me help you.

There are no jobs. There are no manufacturers. There is only fraud. Fraud put in place by Clinton, Greenspan, Rubin, Levitt, Bush&Dick, Paulson, Geithner, Summers, Banks/Insurers CEOs, rich investors, rich share holders, etc. Let me explain global economy - they have the economy globally and we don't. This is the Nixon/Kissinger legacy that took off with Greenspan's Fraud Is Good' philosophy. Follow the money. Those making big bucks were cheating. There are no jobs.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

Everytime dumb ass obama prints up stimulus money, companies shut down and and or just move to china.

the dumb ass still hasn't use the last stimulus yet is wanting another one.

[AlexanderPimm]

I find this really funny "...consumers spending again".

what part of people have no fucking money to spend on things do you not understand. The capitalist system is falling apart the people on top have the money, set the prices and choose by this method who gets ahead and who falls behind.

So far they have only barely been keeping things together and it would seem their capitalist bullshit from the last 50 years is catching up to them.

Wake up people nothing has changed.....

[jabberwolf]

Um.. its when they tax the HELL outta people.. and then wonder why there are no jobs because companies have fired, consolidated, not hiring, not giving raises that cause problems.

But Obama thinks that he can TAKE money and then redistributed it better than the capitalist model.

Why isnt the capitalist model working ( as it HAS been working better than most) because Socialist is F*cking it up!

Fewer government hands in the economy, the better it does!

[AlexanderPimm]

that's pretty funny because it hasn't ever worked. They have been fleecing us for the last 50 years. Now it is all finally falling apart on them. Just like communism it looks great on paper but in practice it is crooks that run the show.

Try again

[jabberwolf]

Actually YES it HAS worked for the last 200 some years... the one blip was the great depression... and the more government taxes and gets involved (THE MORE IT BECOMES LIKE USSR), the more and quicker it fails!!

For the idiots that dare trust obama, lest you forget hes a chicago politician... AND A CAREER LAWYER!!

[AlexanderPimm]

@jabberwolf

the one blip hahahahah you are a total idiot. how about the recession in the 90s? How about the other stock market crash? How about the fact that the economy was taking a crap every time right before a major war was started?

[jabberwolf]

Even before then we've have recessions without the stock market but have grown overall. Go to yahoo finance and look at Dow since conception... that "blip" is the depression. Only retards would think something would be perfect. But "overall" capitalism has worked better than any other system

Now if you want an uneducated idiot that hasnt taken a basic econ. class, go find yourself a shiny mirror. ;-)

Obama needs to allow the voucher system. Public education is definitely failing!

[AlexanderPimm]

@jabberwolf

but i agree about Obama... it isn't up to him obviously to make the policy ..... those who are making the rules and the laws and the policies aren't in the lime light.

[Ddubya77]

Capitalism works great when the so called leaders in this country aren't so crooked and fraudulent.. It's not capitalism that is failing it's our leadership.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Change we neeeeddddddd

[GeoSusan]

So 10.2 = 8.2 million unemployed (probably higher) I'm a novice at this economics but think about this with over 8 million less Xmas shoppers who average at least 1000 total on Xmas which is a low guess that's 8 billion less that will be spent on Xmas then the under employed that cant afford Xmas add in the rise of gas prices/ heating oil the average person will not buy a lot of Xmas presents. very scary. retailer are going to layoff more people maybe some stores will close.

[Ddubya77]

You're absolutely right with what you posted. Retailers depend on Xmas to make it through the year. You will see a major loss of jobs after this Xmas, which will go all the way to the manufacture of the products the retailers sell. In turn people will lose their jobs on many more levels. We haven't even come close to seeing how bad this is going to get. Foreclosure rates are going to get much worse too. Unemployment is running out on a lot of people so you know what will happen then...Big FAIL!

[JointBuster]

INTERESTING REPORT

[armyofonerd]

Did Obama say that when he wanted the 787 Billion stimulus?? NO!! They said it would not go above 8%, another failure of team Obama. Disappointed . . . yes I bet team Obama is quite disappointed, however I'm sure those without jobs are "slightly" more disappointed - especially if they believed the "hope and change".

[dantheleo]

In other words, an ever growing number of Americans have to sit on the unemployment line until next year by government design. Why? So in 2010, Barack Obama and the Democrats can run on falling unemployment numbers. They'd rather you starve now so they can have recovery happen in an election year.

We're all political pawns to Barack Obama.

[dantheleo]

Unemployment at 10.2%...

President's top economic advisor admits this is by government design.

White House intends for unemployment to go down in an election year.

On January 18, 2009, Obama's top economics advisor Larry Summers said Barack Obama's stimulus plan would keep unemployment below 10% and could be deemed to have failed if it crossed 10%.

[jwv651]

10.2 percent unemployment along with $1.75 trillion budget deficit and a falling dollar and lawmakers are focused on healthcare coverage. Unbelievable.

[monkeypeopleofearth]

You are exactly correct.... Health Care should have been fixed during the Clinton Administration. So here we are 10 years later.... Unbelievable!

[jabberwolf]

Oh wait for it, Obama wants to tax and spend MORE!!... he cant wait to add additional taxes with his healthcare...

OMFG can someone please give that man a brain!

[elspoko]

The White House is disappointed? Imagine the folks who don't have jobs.......

[markynj]

i cant even imagine, not only job loss disappointment, but what about those losing their homes and business, savings and pensions that's not even part of this discussion..total bummer
