BREAKING -- The unemployment rate in June rose to 9.2 percent, the government reported Friday morning, as the economy added just 18,000.

President Obama will speak about the new data in the Rose Garden at 10:35 a.m., the White House says.

Yep. We have a full-fledged capital strike underway.

(9.2% unemployment)

"Or what me and 'Regular Joe' like to call, 'Recovery Summer 2:Get Off Your A** and BUILD Somethin'!"

Oh goll.....lol :( actually I know it’s coming and I’m not happy about it. It will look like this, just enough to make it look like the republican’s did something and the lions share of what the dems wanted. Thus, no real change at all, just the usual downward spiral, the republican’s will get blamed no matter what they do. SO WHY DON’T THEY JUST MAN UP!!!

[elpadre]

Is there ever a day Obama doesn't speak?? I am so tired of seeing his face and his unbelievable rhetoric.

My remote won't take much more abuse.

[Hattie]

You forgot “I got Osama”.

[EBH]

Really...he is going to hold a Rose Garden Speech for the unemployment numbers?

ahhh...c’mon...this is a joke right?

Zero to read from TOTUS ... "I'm so pround to have destroyed Amerika's economy in only my first term!"

Labor Force Participation at 25 Year Low

Average Job Search Time Now at 40 Weeks

7 Million People Want a Job RIGHT NOW and Cannot Find One

Zero finishes by applauding himself ... I did it, I REALLY did it! My dad would be so proud of me! (can I please have my cheeseburger now Michelle?)

The Grand Bargain. I would call it something else. They are part of the problem I think. They are trying to pull Obamas fat out of the fire. Saving the Socialist programs from the Socialists, appears to be the GOP goal. Makes me wonder. It is like Good Socialist vs. Bad Socialist.

[ATLDiver]

He’s going to double-down and announce some new government program; probably will say he’s starting a commission to investigate employers for ‘unfair’ business practices or some such.

Intimidation and diversion is all he has left....

[ladyvet]

I didn't read it but will this be Odumbo’s live thread?

[sheikdetailfeather]

I agree with you. Why listen to a liar? I am sick of him interrupting programming to b.s. the American people with his smoke and mirrors act. He insults our intelligence every time he speaks.

[MsLady]

Or you could say, Socialists and socialists light. That’s pretty much what it seems to be.

[Recovering_Democrat]

I love the graphics...can you make them a wee bit smaller and repost? :)

[tobyhill]

My guess is he will say “we are moving in the right direction because without my actions we would have been looking into the depths of another Great Depression”.

[COUNTrecount]

I'm doing my part.

[alrea]

Don’t be surprised if the faculty lounge starts generating more announcements from the Reagan playbook. The faculty are feeling threatened suddenly.

[Gondring]

All of my clients are in turtle mode until obama is gone.

It's good that you still have clients!

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

[longtermmemmory]

obama may be speaking at 10:35 but will he actually SAY anything?

He is going to posture for the pointless dog and pony deficity BS. NOBODY is talking about the national Debt.
