U.S. manufacturing unexpectedly contracted in November, falling to its lowest in over three years in a sign the sector may be struggling to gain traction, according to an industry report released on Monday.

The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said its index of national factory activity fell to 49.5 in November from 51.7 the month before. The reading was shy of expectations of 51.3, according to a Reuters poll of economists.

"Obama is a sham, yet many of the same idiots that voted for him returned him for a second round of raping America."

Now, now... We can't just blame obama supporters. Spineless members of the GOP, those without the character to stand up for those willing to champion conservative values, are just as guilty. I for one am sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. Evil by any name is evil and it never works out good for good people. Be it obama, mcskidmark or romney the collapse of our nation is inevitable if we don't turn away from the agenda these 'tolerant', anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-family, pro-homosexual, communists chunks of pig feces 'compromisers' keep shoving down our throats.
Yes... I'm pissed. Compromise is for losers. Just as your nearest liberal. I'm tired of people that supported romney blaming everyone but themselves for the condition of our country. Stop 'compromising' away our heritage. Our founding fathers set down certain guidelines intended to protect us from jerks like obama and millions of our fellow Americans have died to protect those guidelines but now.... We have a group of narcissistic, whiny ass babies unwilling to insist that our leaders be the best among us. Too many people now want lying, cheating, thieving, scumbags in office because they themselves believe that such scumbags in office validates their own deviant debaucheries.
They don't.

Everything I hear locally is that that there will be no hiring, hours cut, or layoffs.
