Obama Fights To Survive, Can you see the desperation?

Obama throws a weak left hook,  Republicans hits home with a hard right hand wicked jab in this boxing ring of politics. Read some of the comments from both sides below.  Obama starts the round with his weak left hook and the Republicans counter with the right hand wicked jab knocking Obama down for the 10 count in this 15 (15 week) round fight to the Mid-term elections. Republicans win first round!

Here are some comments made on Friday about jobs.

President Barack Obama “This report is a sign that our economy is getting stronger by the day. … I want to emphasize that most of the jobs this month that we’re seeing in the statistics represent workers who have been hired to complete the 2010 census, so these are temporary jobs that are only going to last until the fall and that may be reflected in future jobs reports. But even if you put those temporary jobs aside, there’s no doubt that we saw another month of private-sector job growth.”

Economist Diana Furchtgott-Roth “This is a shocking jobs report, especially after the billions of dollars Congress has spent on different stimulus programs. … The job market clearly is not improving, and Congress needs to take a different tack, such as making the current tax rates permanent and cutting spending.”

Georgia Rep. Tom Price “The Obama administration seems to have plenty of jobs to offer to Democrat primary challengers. It’s too bad most of the 15 million unemployed Americans aren’t eligible. With the number of potential workers increasing every day, new job opportunities can’t come quickly enough. Unemployment has been well over 9% for an entire year now, and in April long-term unemployment reached its highest level in 60 years. Clearly, these problems are not going to be solved with handouts to political cronies or temporary Census jobs that will disappear again in a few months.” SOURCE

Dow Dives 324 on Friday’s jobs report

At first glance, Friday’s jobs report was good news. After losing hundreds of thousands of jobs a year earlier, the U.S. created 431,000 jobs in May its best month of job growth since March 2000. The unemployment rate even fell from 9.9% to 9.7%. However, the markets were spooked by the report because 411,000 of the jobs created were Census jobs that will be going away, meaning the U.S. created a measly 41,000 private-sector jobs. Also, economists had called for much more robust overall growth of 513,000 jobs.

Even the drop in the unemployment rate wasn’t a good sign because people dropped out of the job market due to discouragement, a particularly negative sign at this point of a recovery. All in all, the jobs report failed to live up to the hype and provided the bears with more ammo to hammer away at the beaten-down stock market. It also bolstered forecasts for a so-called jobless recovery. READ MORE AT SOURCE

Obama sure was bragging about Friday’s jobs report but what he wasn’t telling the American people was that most of the jobs created were Census jobs that will be going away and next month will not be good at all in new jobs! This president has lied and mislead the American people from day one as president! Time for a change in the White House and yes in congress! Join a tea party today and lets take back our great Nation!
