ABS in Wilmington on the radio this morning announcing they are cutting ONE THOUSAND more jobs. One guy who took a severance from DHL, counting on Obama’s promise of jobs, says his severance has now run out.

Losses are broad: manufacturing, retail, service, farming, etc.

Obama and Strickland have royally messed up this state and show ZERO hope of revival with high taxes and government restrictions.

0bama has propaganda commercials for how great ObamaCare is all set and ready to go in this state, so he is not worried.

He also will appoint someone to appoint someone to appoint someone to be in charge of teleprompting bullcrap 0bama propaganda speeches in all of the states ACORN stole for him- so nothing to see here move along.

This guy obviously missed the memo...it’s Bush’s fault. But not to worry, once we get Obamacare and cap-and-tax...the economy will rebound and we’ll have full employment! Kumbayaaaaaa..........

Obama’s plan is working... and by the time Obamacare, Cap and trade and the second stimulus are passed and signed into law.. the only thing left for Obama and his clowns to do is rush through amnesty for all the illegals so they can stay in power! They are ruining the country!

I fear a long cold winter for many of my fellow Ohioans.

THE ROOF IS LEAKING
The roof is leaking and the wind is howling
Kids are crying ‘cos the sheets are so cold
Woke this morning found my hands were frozen
I’ve tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing’s too old

It’s been months now, since we heard from our Mary,
I wonder if she ever made the coast
Well she and her young man, they both moved out there
I sure hope they write, just to let us know

And me, I’m getting stronger by the minute
My wife’s expecting, but I hope she can wait
‘Cos this winter looks like it’s gonna be another bad one
But Spring’ll soon be here,
Ohh.... but I hope it’s not late

Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them
They tried their hardest to make it a home
Seems so long now since they passed over
Hope my children try to make it their own

Well my roof is leaking and the wind is howling
The kids are crying, ‘cos the sheets are so cold
Woke this morning and my hands were frozen
Oh I’ve tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing’s too old

But me, Oh I’m getting stronger by the minute
My wife’s expecting, but I hope she can wait
‘Cos this winter looks like it’s gonna be another bad one
But Spring’ll soon be here,
Ohh.. God I hope it’s not late

I was in Florida just last week. The housing bubble hurt you all bad, but in your favor is not having an income tax and only a 7% sales tax rate. It’s a business friendly state. Private businesses were everywhere.

In Ohio we have an income tax, nearly the same sales tax, and taxes and fees on everything imaginable and something like the 3rd highest business tax in the nation and one of the highest in the world.

If you’re a business, would you want to come here?

Well, payback’s a bitch, ain’t it. Too bad all the people who lost jobs aren’t ones who voted for him. They richly deserve it.

Give us more Change! More! More!

We're not unemployed, we're FUN-employed... the marxist media tells us so! More Change! More Change!

Punish success! Reward Sloth! Suppress the job builders, and force states to increase the amount unemployment checks! What a perfectly logical system.

Dear God, let us have some "change" when we win the skirmish of 2010, and the "war of 2012" (play theme of 1812 overture here.)

Ohio has been emulating Michigan in its economic approach, embracing Democrats while going into the sewer. Sad to see my birthplace in such bad shape.

When NCR left Strickland complained that NCR didn’t even bother to talk about staying.

Take a hint Ted, you are in a really bad place when the complaints stop. It means that they have just given up,
because they know that it is a waste of time.

Texas’ unemployment fund dried up....

how many others are to report?

It used to be that if unemployment went to 6-7 percet, we were looking for a new gov’t!
