US layoffs still too high, too many families worried, Obama says in AP interview
WASHINGTON (AP) -- With joblessness rising, President Barack Obama said Thursday he was "deeply concerned" about unemployment and conceded that too many families are worried about "whether they will be next" to suffer economically.
In a White House interview with The Associated Press, Obama said that since he took office, "we have successfully stabilized the financial markets," and "started to see some stabilization on housing."
"But what we are still seeing is too many jobs lost," said Obama, commenting after new government figures showed the unemployment rate had risen to 9.5 percent last month.
On an important international subject, Obama is scheduled to travel to Russia next week, and he said the agenda includes talks on a new treaty to curtail long-range nuclear missiles. Asked why he intends to meet with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the former president, Obama said he "still has a lot of sway." Putin now is nominally the second-in-command in the Kremlin.
Obama also is to meet with the Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev.
It is important that both Medvedev and Putin hear the same message from the U.S., said Obama, who added that he believes Putin "has one foot in the old ways of doing business and one foot in the new."
Obama praised Russia for its cooperation in attempting to persuade North Korea and Iran to abandon their nuclear development programs. The United Nations recently approved "the most robust sanction regime that we've ever seen with respect to North Korea," he said.
Asked if he was resigned to Iran's possession of nuclear weapons, he said, "I'm not reconciled with that, and I don't think the international community is reconciled with that."

I suppose meaning of every word in this statement is open to interpretations, starting with “we”...
“>> Obama said that since he took office, “we have successfully stabilized the financial markets.””
Where do people go to finance or refinance their apartment and office buildings, Mr. Obama??
Barry: “The Stimulus has done its job.”
=.=
Just wait until the rest of his programs kick in. We will be shocked at the slide.
Obummer sdays too many jobs lost?
OBUMMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR LOSS!
OBUMMER CAUSED THE LOSS OF JOBS!
OBUMMER’S POLICIES ARE NOT CREATING JOBS, THEY ARE LOSING JOBS.
OBUMMER’S STIMULUS PACKAGE WAS A JOKE BUT NOT A VERY FUNNY ONE.
IT WAS ALL A SCAM TO GET TAXPAYER MONEY TO PAY OFF OBUMMER SUPPORTERS AND FLUNKIES AND CRONIES JUST LIKE THE WAY THAT UNIONS SPEND THEIR UNION DUES ON THINGS THEIR MEMBERS WOULD NEVER ALLOW IF THERE WAS TRANSPARENCY OF HOW THOSE FUNDS ARE SPENT AND WHERE!
Au Contraire.
There is still (the) ONE which must lose his job before the recovery can start!!!
My, my. Such the political analyst and statesman.
Hey zer0: The [ever declining] buck stops with you! [as long as you are pretending to be POTUS]
So he will continue to stimulate the economy by hitting it in the head with a baseball bat until it stops twitching. Figuratively speaking.
Did Obummer look in Putin’s eyes and see his inner soul?

At least till the middle class stops twitching...
Instead, watch what he does.
Exactly right! Words are meaningless, Obama's actions will continue to make the economy worse. IMO, a worsening economy is his intended goal.
The economy would have recovered on its own due to the natural business cycle.
Pretty much everything the Baraqqis have done since taking over is dragging the economy down.
Hopefully the realization of this will hit by the 2010 elections.
Exactly so.
As long as the economy gets worse and worse, the more he can milk it for all its worth. That’s what he wants.
He doesn’t want to help people, not even his supporters. He just wants to railroad his far left agenda through as quickly as possible before anybody can read it, analyze it or stop it.
Thats why liberal network news ratings are in the cellar.
Thats why liberal news rags and magazines are in deep financial trouble and going bankrupt!
The American people are fed up with beong lied to and being led down the garden path like a bunch of zombie sheep lining up for the slaughter.
Wasn’t Tom Daschle deeply concerned? Oh wait, he was deeply saddened.
nevermind
