Obama The Great Unemployer must be so proud that he's the father of the Great Depression 2.0.

It’s time to take back America. I hope it’ll be at the ballot box.

I recommend everyone read "Great Myths of the Great Depression" which is a chilling look at the policies that led to the crash and those that prolonged it.

The true unemployment rate is above 14%. When will Americans open their eyes and start using their brains? Americans as a rule are not stupid but these past decades, they sure are behaving that way.

They are swallowing the Kool-Aid and thanking the ones giving it to them.

Bottom line -- if you, your family, and / or friends are not better off than you were last election -- fire this one and hire another -- that includes representatives and senators.

Seriously? The news media needs someone to tell them this? Ask anyone not working for the government or the new clueless media. They could have told you this long ago.

They will also tell you that real unemployment is about as high as 20%.

The EBT card is the new soup kitchen Much more convenient but also hidden from view.

Also reported is the 15% real unemployment rate. How is Obama and his gestapo propganda media going to spin this story?? Blame this on Bush again or on racism??
