Oregon lost 6,600 jobs in August as the state unemployment rate jumped to 12.2 percent -- up from 11.8 percent in July and well above the nation's 9.7 percent level.

Somebody help.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Rope and chains.

[Frantzie]

Obama and the 2006 Pelosi/Reid Congress caused this especially Fannie/Freddie filled with O’s cronies. Bnaks were sued if they did not give AOCRN members mortgages and loans.

Approval up according to Ras

The United Socialists Republic of Oregon losing jobs? Say in ain’t so.

temporary my friend

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

This is hurting all the way around, Obama and his ilk are clueless, think the Tea Parties are something to scoff at while American is screaming out for help.

[Kartographer]

But, but, but they promised.....

[Gator113]

Well Oregon, there is no point in complaining about it. Obama had 2 million patriots outside of his residence and “hardly noticed” them.

But hey, at least all the libs in Oregon should be happy with that hope & change thing.

[freekitty]

How’s that hopey changey thing going for you Oregon?

Gerald Celente said that when people lose everything and they have nothing to lose, they lose it.

When enough people lose it this reaches critical mass. Don’t ask me what the magic number is, but when it happens, and it almost certainly will, that will be bad.

[RobRoy]

I just thought of a great new slogan:

Let them eat healthcare.

[R. Scott]

Hope and change - or dopes in chains?

[Ravi]

Any predictions on peak unemployment in OR?

[cookcounty]

So why is Wyden a shoo-in to keep that Senate seat in 2010 for the Democrats? Can some Oregonian explain this to us?

Why isn’t he begging to be a Senate page?

[genghis]

really
who would start a business (besdies a pot farm) there?
I am shocked that libs are shocked.

[Katoolie]

Oregon raised the minimum wage laws far above the national average so this is no surprise.

[VeniVidiVici]

So how many people are employed in Oregon that pump gas?

[SiVisPacemParaBellum]

You non Oregonians complaining about 'liberal Oregon' ought to help us out and move here. We're up to our eye balls in CA lib a$$hole transplants, and an influx of patriots would be welcome. If we could persuade the majority of the valley dwellers to move back home, this place would be a red state in no time. (Not that we don't have our own home grown idiots, but with the invasion, it took the battle to a new level.)

How liberal have your own inner/big cities become?

Yeah, that's what I thought. It sucks.

'Pumping gas', yep that's our work force.

[fortress]

That's a good point.
In Oregon it is against the law to pump your own gas.
Now I know why. Otherwise our unemployment rate would be even higher.
