Noooo…REALLY?!?!?!!? You bunch of dumbasses!!!

Poor job openings a challenge for Obama!? Who cares about Obama?

There's isn't nearly enough unemployment in the White House yet, what about the rest of the country?

Davecat84   August 6th, 2010 - 2:50 pm

Setback? More like holding back the tsunami.

water_buffalo   August 6th, 2010 - 2:53 pm

just an excuse for more deficit spending ….. my teenage children have more common sense then this whole administration .

Dave_in_Oregon   August 6th, 2010 - 2:57 pm

How can that be?
I just heard Obama (THE LIAR IN CHIEF) earlier today gloating about JOB CREATION.

REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER….. CONSERVATIVES ONLY !

kmichaels   August 6th, 2010 - 2:58 pm

Obama is a moron.
Obama lovers are even bigger morons.

leslie_gaea   August 6th, 2010 - 2:58 pm

Is anyone surprised? You can't grow an economy on statism and socialism. Pouring money into government jobs is temporary, and only drives us further in debt. Handing out money to poor people is a luxury that we can no longer afford. Now, I hope brown and black people will resist racism and vote not on skin color but on the content of a candidate's character.

kmichaels   August 6th, 2010 - 2:59 pm

I would like to neither create nor save one less job.
Obama's. Fire his stupid ass asap.

BHO_UMM_UMM_UMM   August 6th, 2010 - 3:01 pm

Obama is the problem with jobs and the economy. It is clear America is on hold until Obama is ejected. Obama can't be trusted. Obama promises pain and struggle for businesses for working harder and longer just to survive. Obama is getting what he wanted, more government dependence.

Doesn't he look like he's about to collapse? He hasn't been able to rest since he took office — won't rest until every person wanting a job has one, won't rest until the Gulf is restored, wont rest until every child has the opportunity for a good education, won't rest while Michelle is out of the country, won't rest until every American has the right to affordable gubbament healthcare. Poor fellow can't even rest while golfing or vacation though lord knows he's tried dozens and dozens of times the last year and a half.

PS: Tourism is down at the Gulf because people can't afford vacations this year. Please have Michelle post lots of pictures of her half-million tax payer dollar vacation so we destitute American taxpayers can vacation vicariously, Mr. Obamnesty.

Sickofobama   August 6th, 2010 - 3:04 pm

If you listen to Obama and the Piglosi they created jobs.

And you thought it was 2010.

Wrong.

It's 1984.

Deusexmachina   August 6th, 2010 - 3:05 pm

If the right people lose their jobs, we may just turn this around…..

We were with George Washington
at the surrender at Yorktown,
We were with General Patton
in the Battle of the Bulge,
And we were there on 9/11
So we are not going to let Obama dismantle
The Constitution of the United States of America, the supreme law of the United States

Obama arranged some job openings at a beer distributor in Connecticut recently, too. Good high paying union jobs.

Okay, but what's the number of people who do not possess gainful employment, but wish so to do?

That's the real number isn't it? No, it isn't: I must be a birther.

Of course we don't have jobs. When he nationalized the car makers he effectively sealed the fate of America. He ruins the economy and now he can't fix it.

NEOFREEDOM   August 6th, 2010 - 4:16 pm

What do expect when your countries CEO Barack Hussein Obama is nothing more than a MARXIST SOCIALIST COMMUNITY ORGANIZER AGITATOR who takes his orders from the man behind the curtain. Welcome to OZ, America and it's YELLOW BRICK ROAD TO SOME WHERE OVER THE RAINBOW with it's high rates of unemployment , taxes , health insurance and trillion dollar deficits.

Jamesb   August 6th, 2010 - 4:28 pm

Obama & Co. will lie and ignore reality and blame "rich" Republicans and Bush. It's like nothing is wrong and what is wrong is Bush's fault.

Dim-o-craps are dolts.

This is what happens when you put someone into a job they are not prepared to handle.

So much damage has been done in the last year and a half…that it will take a long time to correct the mistakes!

Be patient…be diligent…be focused! All Democratzi 'loons' and moderate 'fence sitting' Republicans must go…THEY MUST…so that we can survive!

Stand by for the "smoke and mirrors" BS, as usual. He and is minions will hype up all of the jobs that have "been saved". There is absolutely no way to calculate that. Too bad the MSM will never accurately report that. A damn shame.

father_moray   August 6th, 2010 - 6:11 pm

Obama should hang for his crimes against America…shirriah infiltraitor…arrest and legally prosecute for treason then full sentence delivered that traitors do so well deserve.

Hey ! Hotshot ! president Soetoro… just blame Bush again for this jobs shortage(like you aren't already) and get *planned-up for next week to chop another limb of this nation's strength-off.

I'D call you a traitor, but, until you can validate yourself to hold the office of POTUS; all I can say is you are in the commission of Treason against this nation. (either way… it's still a Capital Offence)

HeReturnsSoon   August 6th, 2010 - 7:00 pm

Well its worse than i thought. Not only is Obama an Amature, he's a LOOSER Amature. Bad times coming my friends, be ready.

BHO_UMM_UMM_UMM   August 6th, 2010 - 7:12 pm

You are right, of course. Since the Democrats are in lock step with Obama, tripping him up in the minds of the public will cause them all to fall. The people already despise Congress. We just need to get the public to despise Obama as much or more than Congress. And Yes, Obama is a despicable character, deserving the wrath of the public for his Marxist punk ways.

I think big business is holding back until Obama/Pelosi/Reid are out-I think they especially want to see Obamacare obliterated and all other dumb ideas,only from the minds of Obama idiot minions. Why would small, medium and large business commit to future anything with the lunacy that springs from these idiots who are not to be trusted in any way shape or form.

Libbasher   August 6th, 2010 - 8:56 pm

Thats the best point you've ever made! It is time to deny extending unemployment… Because who is it that pays taxes??? Come on, you can do it.. thats right, people who earn money and have jobs. So if fewer people are earning money then the mystical unicorn who makes our money (for people not retarded that would be the government) dries up, and no more money

. I know this is a hard concept for a 12 year old to grasp, and since you've never paid taxes in your life (If you say you have your a liar) this is of little consequence to you.

We get it, now go play with your Barbie’s, and let the grownups talk!!!

CatOnGlue   August 6th, 2010 - 9:05 pm

Two years of unemployment isn't enough? At what point are you just going to start calling it welfare?

I hate to say that but we make NOTHING….owe china our lives, the dollar isn't worth wiping your backside with and as a nation we're split down the middle over stupid crap like gay marriage while illegal aliens and who knows who else is flowing over our borders……I'll vote for anyone reguardless of political affiliation who can get us out of this mess…oh yeah…there's none.

No one has tried to fix these problems in over 20 years….no one 20 years hence will either.. We're being absorbed into a world government…..get over it. What you're feeling are evolution pangs.

OK, So did anyone notice that he was at the sign factory, that has the exclusive federal contract, that make the signs for the "Economic Recovery Act" that are posted everywhere in the country saying that "here's the money being spent on the "Recovery Act""? Of course, the company is hiring!…They need to make more signs telling us that everything is going according to plan and they can't keep up with demand so they are hiring more sign makers to make those signs! Not only that, because of new federal offices, they have to make directional signs telling people how to get to the new offices. What a f-ing racket!. Sorry Hussein, posting more signs isn't going to do the trick. Moron.

When workforce shrinkage is added to lost jobs over the last three months the current situation is equally bad as Jan – March 2007. Stimulus did nothing. TARP stabilized banks, ended the panic. After only sound economics will end our malaise. Obama and the Democrats are 180 degrees out of sync with what should be done.

I've got some fresh news for Obama and Pelosi and the rest of those awesome job creators: BP is laying-off workers by the thousands down on the Gulf Shores.
I know, because I am one of them. On my shift, we had 4 busloads of beach clean-up personnel "dissolved" on Tuesday and we weren't the first ones – nor are we the only staging area on the Panhandle, AL or MS.
during our last days, there were no skimmers to be seen anywhere off the coast AND we were pulling booms and putting them into dumpsters. Less boats on the water means more fishermen back in the unemployment line as well.

This will add thousands and thousands to the jobless rolls for the next report. Not good.

BP did their job, but now everyone's going home to the recession again.
