WASHINGTON – With joblessness rising, President Barack Obama said Thursday he was "deeply concerned" about unemployment and conceded that too many families are worried about "whether they will be next" to suffer economically. In a White House interview with The Associated Press, Obama said that since he took office, "we have successfully stabilized the financial markets," and "started to see some stabilization on housing." "But what we are still seeing is too many jobs lost," said Obama, commenting after new government figures showed the unemployment rate had risen to 9.5 percent last month.

Brilliant observation, Mr. President.
Always deeply concerned..
Is there anyone left who doesn’t know this is on purpose?
Barry: “The Stimulus has done its job”.....
Well then. Simply pass a bill FORCING all employers to hire 1 person for every 5 they presently employ.
And if that bankrupts them, put a provision in there that they MAY NOT SHUT DOWN.
THAT'll fix it.
O’Boners fault.
I’m certain the state-run media asked Obama to comment on where the stimulus is and reminded Obama that he said without the stimulus the jobless rate would hit 9% (it’s now 9.5% with it and climbing).
What about those he fired at GM? As a major shareholder of GM, he has to take personal responsibility for those lost jobs.
The Economic Idiot called Obama is a master of the obvious. And the Left will applaud.
He cares. Now pass the Poi.
Actually, there are too many jobs that haven’t been lost...at least not yet. I can think of about 220 jobs on one side of the Crapitol and 60 on the other that need to be “lost” over the next six years...and at least two with offices in the formerly Pink Palace that was whitewashed after the British failed to burn it to the ground in 1812.
As the unemployment rate in Riverside, CA and Detroit, MI nears the 30% mark, it’s so good of Dear Leader to notice “the little people,” who don’t get the favorable treatment that he and his wife have received because of affirmative action.
Wait till Cap & Trade gets done. It will be Barry’s grand slam.
Nice of you to take note, Barry, after the fact. That’s so you. Sincere to the bone. NOT
“Too many jobs have been lost. But enough about that. Have you heard the news? I’m going to Russia! Yeah! Talking to important people! Making deals! Discussing missiles! Yeah! Aren’t I something?”
But they don't want stimulus, they want control.
Yes, plenty. From the July 2, 2009 Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll:
Thursday, July 02, 2009The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 33% of the nation's voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-five percent (35%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -2. This is the third straight day the Approval Index has been below zero (see trends).
A Rasmussen video report notes that 42% now give the President good or excellent marks for handling the economy. That’s his lowest rating to date (Premium Members can see crosstabs and trends. Thirty-seven percent (37%) say the country is heading in the right direction.
