Today on the 2:00 pm segment of CNN Newsroom, anchor Randi Kaye spoke with CNN political producer Shannon Travis about criticism directed at President Barack Obama:
TRAVIS: Yes, really, really quickly, billionaire Steve Wynn, you've seen his resorts all over Las Vegas. He's blasting President Obama. I'm going to read this quote from a call, an earnings call yesterday. Quote, "I'm saying it bluntly that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime". Those are from Steve Wynn.
We know there are a lot of businesses who have been on a hiring streak, Randi, but this is what Steve Wynn, billionaire real estate mogul in Las Vegas thinks about the Obama administration.
What hiring streak is Travis talking about? CNN Money.com reported last week that initial unemployment claims remained above the 400,000 mark for the 14th straight week. The Bureau of Labor Statistics noted in its June, 2011 report that there are now 14.1 million Americans out of work. The same agency pegged that number at 11.6 for January, 2009, the month Barack Obama took office.

McJobs?
“Steve Wynn”
Ever thought about changing your name like that?
But the evil Murdoch media empire keeps supressing this information.
Either that or they’re counting the federal government as a “business.”
My daughter is a teacher in a middling paying public district.
Their one teaching opening just drew 400 resumes.
My cousin, the psychiatrist, tells me he's NEVER been busier!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Borders Group Inc, the second-largest U.S. bookstore chain, said it has canceled an upcoming bankruptcy auction and will close its doors for good.
Borders’ roughly 400 remaining stores will close, and nearly 11,000 jobs will be lost, according to the company.
Isn’t 400,000 plus unemployment set a record for the most ever in history?
I know the company I work for is hiring, but I think part of that might be due to cost-cutting measures by the companies we contract with. It’s sometimes cheaper to contract out certain jobs than to keep them in-house.

Travis must be referring to those 18,000 jobs created last month.....yeah, that’s a streak alright... =.=
She’s right, there are a lot of businesses on a hiring streak.
In Canada.
McJobs?
///
good point. maybe he does know a lot of businesses that are hiring. especially ones that got an exemption from Obamacare, like McDonalds.
or ones that pay zero taxes, like GE and MSNBC.
Lockheed announced some ‘voluntary’ layoffs today,i believe 6500. Defense spending seems sure to be cut and that will be who knows how many more cuts.
Phrases not seen / heard in the MSM since 2008:
McJobs
Homeless problem
Recovery for Wall $treet but not Main Street
“No really....Obama said so himself.....2 million jobs!”
The amount of free PR, cover and propaganda the Communists, and most especially the RaceMarxist failure, receive 24/7 from the MSM:
Is it worth billions, or trillions of dollars?
Repo men, foreclosure agents, moving companies, tax collectors...
Process servers. Autioneers.
It’s true Randy, we’ve been hiring like craaazy,
only thing is they’ve all been secret hires, we
don’t even tell the ones we hire about it and we won’t till the economy improves.
