UE went "up" from 10.2 to 9.1. Must be that new RW math.

As usual, the old 'do as I say' tactic is at work again. Additionally, apparently, the bill has no means of paying the money spent back - that is supposed to follow up with some ideas coming in a separate package in about 10 days.

This is the most idiotic, inept, corrupt, ridiculous administration our country has ever seen.


You're just saying that cause its true.

The only reason it went down was people dropping off the unemployment lines who were no longer counted.

Our real unemployment rate is near 23%.

Directing my anger at the President would be misguided. Republicans/tea party/GOP/Neocons...they're the real problem. The obstructionists have broken Congress and hurt the country in the process, cursing the country with MORE BUSH!

Please stop with the BS.

He had 2 full years with total control and did nothing.

Blaming the GOP who by the way are the majority in this country is getting old.

800 billion in his hands BEFORE the GOP took over the house and he FAILED.

Everything he touches turns to crap and you know it.

Yea, lets talk fuzzy math....what was it when obama took over? 7.8% (not really sure, but it was less than 8%) THEN it went to 10.2% and THEN down to 9.1%....

Yes, fuzzy math....

It's amazing how we forget the number's before the 10.2% happened...

I would imagine there will be expansion on that tomorrow.
And that it has to be passed RIGHT NOW.

I hope everyone starts paying their fair share. Those 50% of americans that pay no tax need to step up to the plate.

Hahahaha. You libs crack me up. So now it's unamerican to criticize a speech and president that's the same old, same old. Big urgency to PASS IT NOW (but took the time to campaign and vacation before he rolled it out), relies heavily on taxing the rich (but ignoring those americans that aren't paying any taxes), short on substance but long on promises, and is nothing but Stimulous 2 (which raised unemployment in spite of the guarantee that it wouldn't. I don't think we can handle higher unemployment, as this president's first plan showed).

The only thing your blind and slobbering defense of this horrible speech proves is that you love big government and the progressive agenda more than YOU love America.
