Nope. Employers shed jobs at a MUCH MORE RAPID PACE once they knew Hussein was taking office. The speed of the job losses is SOLELY at the feet of the man whom employers KNEW was going to be in charge.

Hussein has done NOTHING to change their minds, you are absolutely right.

One labor statistician who testified before Congress this week said this nation has NEVER SEEN 4 CONSECUTIVE MONTHS in which we have lost 600,000 jobs in each month.

I ask you: What has happened differently in those four months? Hussein’s seizure of power.

The loss of jobs might have continued, but not at this pace.

Note that absolute job loss numbers can not really be compared over time. One must look at the percent of overall employment. On that basis this is not the worst. However, it will very likeley get much worse.

You are right. He’s a socialist, business hater. Big government all the way. We’re screwed. His halo may go away soon.

Right, and some smaller business owners have told me that it’s the proposed upcoming legislation that had them worried (lifting limits on discriminatory lawsuits, changes to FMLA requirements, state exit visas [ACORN] etc.). Better to get out now while you’ve still got something rather than lose it all later.
