Thanks Barack.
The US unemployment rate has nearly doubled under the Obama-Pelosi regime compared to the Bush or Clinton years. It is expected to surge above 10% again in the next few months.
The Hill reported:
Unemployment is likely to surge above 10 percent during the next few months as millions of “missing” workers return to the labor market.
This will pose a huge challenge for the Obama administration and congressional Democrats, who want to run in 2010 on the back of a strengthening economy.
Economist Mark Zandi expects the unemployment rate to float above 10 percent during the next few months as workers look to take advantage of improving opportunities.
“The increase in unemployment is a sign of a stronger job market, but it is also a sign of how weak the job market still is and vulnerable the recovery is to anything that might go wrong,” Zandi wrote in an e-mail to The Hill.

Remember to remind the state-run media about the unemployed high-school and college kids that’ll be sitting around the house starting next month too. Don’t know how or if they work their way into the stats.

So, what’s the deal on all the jobs the TARP/stimulus funds were supposed to generate? Were those government jobs, only by Obummer-appointment??

Obama is a failure.
Palinfan commented:
You guys just don’t understand! Rising unemployment means that recovery is right around the corner!
So does rising deficits, falling dollar, rising trade deficits, rising bank failures, rising home foreclosures, rising…

I must be extremely dense as I fail to understand how the job market can be both “stronger” and “weak”. One or the other, but it cannot be both.

It is called “newspeak” and is fully explained in George Orwell’s 1984.
/disagreeing with the media is double plus ungood!

Worst president ever. Move over Carter. There’s a new failure in town.

but, this is good news. right Barack? If not, its got to be Bush’s fault.
Chippy commented:
“Happy Days Are Here Again”. The Obama Administration loves turning negatives into positives using their liar czars in the MSM. Everything they do sucks.

Ginni. Reread 1984, and it’ll all start to make sense. Sort of.

Right now he is hitting us where it hurts. (Employment/monies). November the public is going to hit you where it hurts. Your power base will be removed. You’ll command a military that loathes you and have executive order ability. Watch out there could be recalls of other senators/congressmen. RUN fast you have till November and your a lame duck .
powder is dry.
Sandy commented:
No wonder Michelle Obama is going to campaign for the Dems by telling us Hard Times Are Coming. This is sure to put the Dems over the top — LIKE RIGHT!
Don Rodrigo commented:
Remember folks, before our “betters” could worry about trivialities like creating economic conditions that lead to dynamic job growth, they had to “strengthen our economy” by destroying our healthcare system, setting up a giant corruption scheme called “Cap & Trade,” and opening our borders up even more (as if that were possible). Never, ever disturb geniuses while they’re at work, and please give them even more of your money.
Elly commented:
Well, clearly he’s not trying hard enough. I mean we all expected it would be at least 17% – oh wait…
He excels at sucking.
November November November

It’s all part of a strategy to create more government dependents.
BigAlSouth commented:
College graduates are not counted as they are not eligible for funemployment benefits.
Don’t forget, there is half a million census workers counted as employed, for the moment.
How will the U.S. economy do until 2012? I don’t know, it’s all Greek to me.
