WASHINGTON (AP) -- The unemployment rate has surpassed 10 percent for the first time since 1983.

Bush’s fault.
“It’s the 22nd straight month the U.S. economy has shed jobs, the longest on records dating back 70 years.
Counting those who have settled for part-time jobs or stopped looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 17.5 percent, the highest on records dating from 1994.”
Happy Days Are Here Again?
What a mess.
As Levin would say, “Hit it !”
(song) “Happy Days are here Again ! !”
U6 now 17.5 (up from Sep 17.0)

Hate to be such a cynic, but you KNOW that the gov’t and state-run media held on to this report until AFTER the election to help Democrats. Bet on it.
Obama’s fault!
“Help is on the way” - Barack Obama, Nov. 2008
Let me give a shout out to odumbo for passing that stimulus because without it unemployment would of hit 8pct like he said
Why worry about the unemployment rate? Didn’t “The One” promise to take care of us? In fact, as I type this I’m placing my first and second mortgage payment statement in an envelope addressed to the WH. Later I’ll be sending him the rest of my bills.
In light of this minor inconvenience, has Goldman Sachs yet issued more recommendations to spike the market another 100 points and keep the party going on Wall Street?
Can’t be.
Obammie the Commie pulled us back from the brink.
The DJIA has hit 10K again.
The recovery is well underway.
And all that propaganda BS.
This is going to get much, much worse, folks.
Prepare yourselves and your families.
Oh man, that guy looks like a relative of Jon Corzine
The Barraqqis fired most of their ammo with the stim.
ObozoCare, Crap N Tax, and tax increases will hurt small business even more.
We have to use this to nuke Dems in 2010.
We’ve stalled the Baraqqi surge, now the tough fighting to push them back starts.
A U6 of 17.5.
And he still tells us — with a straight face — the recovery is well underway.
Obammie the Commie deserves an Oscar as much as he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Why would you want to insult the guy???
Also bet that they’ll use this as a reason to pass Socialized Medicine.
“Those poor, poor souls with no jobs. We simply MUST give them health care.”
The unemployment rate is further proof that we can NOT AFFORD SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.
How’s that “Hope and Change” working for you now Libs?
