President Obama focused on the economy Wednesday in a visit to Racine, a city suffering from a 14 percent unemployment rate. As WUWMs Marti Mikkelson reports, the president tried to offer words of encouragement to the crowd.
About 1,300 people packed into the Racine Memorial Hall, located downtown on the lakefront. President Obama started off by empathizing with the crowd.
I know that towns like Racine are still hurting from this recession. This city has the second highest unemployment rate in the state. And I can only imagine how much pain thats caused and how many lives have been upended, Obama says.

He’s still blaming Bush for everything bad. He’s a joke.
Zero... shut up and go back to Kenya!
He’s still trudging up that hill of claiming that stimulus “worked.” It took 6 years before Morgenthau (Roosevelt’s Treasury Secretary) called the New Deal a failure. Socialists tend to be blinded by their secular religion.

Just wait until the end of 2010 and the BUSH tax cuts go away. the Unemployement hits 18 to 20 percent in the WI - MI area..
Welcome to Obamaville, USSA.
Chinese and Iranian students must agree with Rahm Emmanuel's statement about America being cowards.
You know that these creatures in the audience were hand picked by Zero’s team so that they wouldn’t storm the stage and rip his face off.
I wonder if he’s going to try to stretch the “BIOB” meme out past 2012? Seems pretty pathetic at this point. Bush’s unemployment numbers ran about 4-6% for 8 years straight and he inherited a recession too. and then there was the whole 9-11 thing. What’s your problem Obama? High taxes and heavy government regulation not working out the way you hoped?
They stand in line and have their backgrounds checked before they are let into the building. I’ve seen it happen in my city. It takes forever. All of us would never make it in even if we tried (being the enemy and all).

In November 2012... obammy will find out about blame... up close and personal like. He will get a taste of it in November 2010.

I believe I saw an article yesterday that stated that the Bush tax cuts were going to go away -- and it was all the fault of the Republicans! The Democrats, you see, would love to keep those tax cuts, but ... well ... the Republicans won't let them.
(should be 2010 tea party slogan)
And we hold that title proudly!
Yep, that was dingeeeeeeeeeeeee hairy yesterday.

I would like to know how they get all those sycophants to what is suppose the be a public townhall meeting? There is no way you can convince me that that many people would show up to support this idiot. The only thing missing is the Seig Heil salutes. There must be a Pulitzer for the person who blows the whistle. There must be a SEIU card involved.
Empathizing with the crowd. I won I have a job so suck sheit.
