The number of Americans who applied last week for new unemployment benefits rose slightly but clung near a five-year low, another indication that fewer people are losing their jobs.

Initial jobless claims rose by 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 336,000 in the week ended March 16, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch forecast expected claims to rise to 340,000 from a revised 334,000 in the prior week.

As I’ve Posted before, Obama is the first Flubber President.

Things don’t just slide off him, they bounce off and accelerate in the opposite direction.

The first Vote for Obama, ignorance at best.

The second Vote for Obama, stupidity at worst.

Doesn’t matter though, they would Vote for him a third time if they could. Blackness talks, common sense walks.
