Unemployment
Remember the Jobs Obama Promised Us? They’re Going to Brazil
A large part of President Obama’s State of the Union address had to do with jobs and the economy for working class Americans.

Has Barack Obama been lying to us? What do you think?

Why It’s So Tough to Create Jobs
As the media have amply reported, there is a broad consensus that the current job environment in the U.S. economy is the worst since the 1930s. Let’s explore the state of the job market now and one of the most unique features, the lack of job creation on a scale sufficient to reduce unemployment.
More Bad News for BO – Your Recovery is Worse Than Bush’s Recession
New evidence suggests there’s a reason why this economic “recovery” hasn’t felt much like a recovery.

Obama, Dems Don’t Want US to Be Energy Independent
Not many people noticed during the run up to the Iowa caucuses and last year’s payroll tax fight that a far more important, and potentially game-changing resolution passed the Senate at the end of 2011. It was the authorization for the $3 billion Keystone XL pipeline connecting us to Canada’s booming oil shale production. The Senate has given Barack Obama sixty days to either sign or not sign as “not in the national interest.”

Attacking Obama is a Losing Proposition? Baloney!
The conventional wisdom that permeates within the Republican establishment is that 40 percent of the electorate will vote Republican, 40 percent will vote for the Democrats and 20 percent will vote Moderate or Independent. The GOP elites also fear and distrust the Conservative movement. Mostly, it appears they fear the 20 percent will not vote its way because Conservatives confront and oppose Barack Obama and what he stands for, thereby earning the rancor of the Moderates. This kind of thinking will lead to disaster for the GOP in November.
The Silent Generation could Spell The End Of Obama
Grandma and grandpa are not happy! They are sick of the mess the Occupy Wall Street-type brats have made of our country. This is the conclusion to be drawn from a new Pew Research poll of Americans 66-to-83 years of age on our current political situation. And they will make up 17 percent of the electorate next year
About Time, Voters Blaming Obama for Failing Economy, Not Bush
For years, Barack Obama has diverted attention from his own economic failures by blaming his predecessor, George W. Bush, for the nation’s financial woes, from deficits to debt to taxes to Medicare and Medicaid spending.
