It is okay, because I just read that 0bama has created some new white house commission on helping the workers from the auto industry. Sounds like he has it all under control. No worries...

Waterboard’s unemployment graphic doesn’t go high enough. MI’s unemployment rate is 14.1%.

That’s just for May.
