New U.S. claims for unemployment benefits rose more than expected last week, a government report showed on Thursday, suggesting little improvement in the labor market this month after employment stumbled in May.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits climbed 9,000 to a seasonally adjusted 429,000, the Labor Department said. The prior week's figure was revised up to 420,000.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims to edge up to 415,000 from a previously reported count of 414,000.

Nope. Looks also like he needs to wake up his team propping up the DOW and get them to work quick.

Seriously, it is now time for the Democrat Party to demand that POTUS Obama resign immediately. Everything Obama touches turns negative for the USA and our people, the economy, job creation, foreign policy, putting the nation in harms way, giving guns to Mexican drug cartels to kill Mexican citizens and USA citizens. This gent, is not only un-American, he is anti-American, and he is seeking to destroy America and devastate our citizens!!! The American people should now rise up with one voice and demand that the Democrat Party force Obama to resign.

Remember, Citizens:

nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights, nobama is a hate crime foisted upon America.

Everything nobama does is intentional.

God help us all.

Thank God we elected the smartest Kenyan Citizen on the planet. He'll get us through this Depression.

But if he can't, we have Biden, the man with Brain damage from aneurysms, with Hair plugs and plastic teeth to lead us.
