12% by Jan. 2010.

What say you??

O's Approval ratings should shoot straight up on this good news.

People will get an extended vaction with their free house.

[TornadoAlley3]

government jobs up 9000...yip yip yip yippee.

Obama’s fault. It’s just a necessary sacrifice to achieve utopia. Buck up, fairness is coming!

[Halfmanhalfamazing]

The obama economy rolls on.

When will an exit strategy be proposed: get us out of the war on prosperity!

For the POTUS, not enough job loss and unemployment % not high enough. He should fire his staff for failing....(sarc)

Well, the Friends have been slamming Barry all morning on the economy. Gretchen said that all he could talk about during his campaign was the economy and now—not a peep. And so who will Chris Wallace feature on the Sunday show—John McCain. (rolling eyes)

[Chuck54]

Yeah and everyone should have seen that twit on MSNBC play it as “good news”, not near as bad as “we” thought it would be. Great numbers, etc. Paraphrasing.

NOT. A. CLUE.

But yesterday the headlines were about how it had unexpectedly fallen to only 693,000 (or maybe it was 639,000). As if the number wasn't bad because "experts" had predicted worse. The MSM and this administration are going to start doing that. Even if the numbers are horrible they are going to emphasize how they aren't as bad as predicted. Just the opposite of how they did it in the Bush Administration. If the numbers were okay, then the headlines were that they were worse than expected.

The "experts" have never been accurate.

The more government does the worse it will get. Wait until inflation hits. Those without hard assets will get clobbered, demand help, and get it thereby continuing the great circle of stupidity.

[concerned about politics]

I think Oboma is trying to destroy the worlds economy on purpose so he can rebuild it in his own image.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

If the DOW drops below 6500 program selling kicks in. Could be a rough day.

[madison10]

If that automaker “help” bill fails it will hit 12-13%, or higher.

This Barak Hussein has ALREADY cost America FAR MORE in lost wealth than his predecessor, Saddam Hussein, ever did, even totalling all the costs of Gulf War II since 2003!

Interesting unemployment map-by-counties:

[December 08 data, so the numbers are even higher now.]

[P-Marlowe]

It is not going to be long before educated Americans with advanced degrees will be standing in line fighting for the opportunity to pick strawberries in 100+ degree heat.

But then this administration is dedicated to ensuring that all those jobs go to illegal aliens because those are jobs that "Americans won't do".

America is screwed.

[concerned about politics]

"Twitter cofounder and CEO Ev Williams is headed to the White House today.

The administration invited him to join a “young business leaders" summit to discuss the economic crises.

As Ev himself puts it -- in a Twitter message, of course -- "[this] must mean they're *really* out of ideas."
